  1. Two drivers: Rivian picks wrong phone

    Happens when my husband gets in first with his iPhone Generally, when my knees are in the dashboard and Apple Music needs to be authenticated, I know it's on his setting.
  2. What’s Coming in Rivian’s 2026.15.30 Hotfix

    I may try the PIN again to see if it will put me back on the navigation page after it has been entered. When is this supposed to be pushed out?
  3. Would you still buy your Rivian today?

    FWIW - Had the discussion with my husband last night; he asked to cancel our R2 reservation. He cited the overall stability of his Tesla Model Y, and that he really did not want the uncertainty of a "1st Gen" vehicle. I could not argue with his logic. Reservation cancelled as of this morning.
  4. Would you still buy your Rivian today?

    And not to put too fine a point on the matter, but on wrapping up a project this morning, I was short a piece of electric-grade PVC. The local hardware store only had 10' lengths in stock... Thankfully, I had less than a two miles to drive home. I felt like an idiot. For how normally...
  5. Would you still buy your Rivian today?

    I keep revisiting this question. In all honesty, I was never in the "Rah! Rah! Rah! Rivian all the way!" fan club, but I kept an open mind. I really like my R1T, but... my feelings are aging much like the trucks owner. I am finding that the R1T is just... not meeting my needs. We don't camp...
  6. Rivian Assistant Makes Siri Look Overqualified

    I'm still getting use to talking to the truck. I have used it for navigation, but found that I really need to know where I am going to get the right response. Like "Directions to Walmart Supercenter on Paramount Drive in Raynham Massachusetts". If I just say "Directions to Walmart" I get a...
  7. Proximity Alarms When Turning Right

    Living in New England, we have many main roads that are barely wide enough for two lanes of moving traffic PLUS the parked cars. On these road, when there is a parked car at a bend, I get the red "EMERGENCY BRAKE!" warning light that I am about to collide. The same thing happens in the Tesla...
  8. As you might have guessed.... higher gas prices has increased interest in EVs [ADMIN WARNING: NO POLITICS]

    I still get approached by people asking about the Rivian. The conversation is always the same. Their biggest fear is range anxiety. One gentleman said he would not buy anything that gets less than 400 miles in range on a charge. I asked him "How far do you get on a tank of gas?" "240...
  9. Rivian Smart Charging Arrives in Next OTA Software Update

    It's there, I just wish our PoCo had TOU charging rates to make use of the feature.
  10. Lease with immediate buyout?

    When I bought my R1T in October of 2024, I did a lease and banked the buyout portion into my investment savings. I did not quite have enough to buy the truck outright at time of purchase, and the lease put me into a monthly payment that was well within my budget. When the new administration...
  11. Hot charger.

    Hello! Answers to the above questions. This is a photo the NEMA splitter I am using with the Rivian L2 on the A side and the Tesla L2 on the B side. The splitter plugs into the NEMA 14-50 socket on the wall behind. This wiring (splitter to outlet) never gets hot, nor does the Rivian A...
  12. Hot charger.

    I routinely inspect our chargers. We use the Rivian and Tesla supplied L2 chargers plugged into a NEMA14-50 splitter. The Rivian unit works well, but the Tesla supplied NACS charger periodically comes loose, both at the plug going into the splitter and where the L2 adapter plugs into the Tesla...
  13. I SENT A TEXT with Rivian Assistant!!!!

    Under my devices, I had to go tap the (...) then enable Sync Messages and Upload Contacts. From there, once I said "Hey, Rivian... send a text to _____." then the it would respond. I have an Android phone; there is an extra step or two for iOS.
  14. I SENT A TEXT with Rivian Assistant!!!!

    Thank you! I finally sent a hands-free text from my Rivian!!! Just on poking around with the Rivian Assistant following yesterday's update, I am liking it a lot more than I thought. Nice to just say "Hey, Rivian" and have it activate. Used it to open and close the garage door, open Apple...
  15. What’s Coming in 2026.15 Update, Including Rivian Assistant

    My R1T got updated late yesterday afternoon and I got Rivian Assistant working. I really like what I am seeing! A lot to get used to; I'll give it a good run this weekend.
  16. 33%

    I have had my R1T for a year and a half and have found that the distance and percentage are more or less accurate within a few miles of the actual mileage driven. But instead of seeing a needle on a gas tank indicator drop into the 3/4 full mark after 80 miles, I see my battery icon drop to...
  17. Confirmed: Voice recognition local processing for R1 (Gen 1 and Gen 2). The R2 will have a local LLM.

    FWIW; we have gotten used to using the Grok AI assistant in the Model Y. Nice to keep eyes on the road and ask it to route to a destination. Will look forward to a similar function in my Gen 2 R1T.
  18. Issue: Coolant Degas Bottle & Canton MA SC.

    Kinda how I am looking at it - shit happens. It's repaired. Took it from the Canton SC out to Cape Cod yesterday for a long road trip. It's back, baby! It's back! Interesting sidebar - the SC gave me a loaner 1st Gen R1T Quad Max. Impressive vehicle! Rode MUCH better than the 1st Gen...
