Iāve noticed that I get the āCharging speed reduced Slower due to cabin and battery cooling.ā whenever I start DCFC during the summer with the A/C on, yet the only time I see reduced speeds is when Iām charging at a high rate (over 150kW or so) which is throttled even during winter with the...
Seriously, this is old airport courtesy shuttle levels of bad and the Service Center says that nothing can be done about the dashboard. The short videos below the text are from our Gen2, and our dashboard looked almost this bad on our Gen1. The first 7 second video is regular speed and the other...
We switched to a Gen2 so selling a lightly-used set of Gen1 (2022 through 2024) R1S All-Weather mats in all black. These mats are genuine Rivian and not modified in any way; Rivian offered black logo mats for a while and we liked them better than the yellow-logo mats.
These will NOT safely fit...
Weāre in the high desert, the exterior temp says 101° and the battery shows 100°.
I used the new Energy screen āPrepare for fast chargingā button to lower the battery temp on the way to charge. I got a little chuckle at a minor coding error when the screen showed āWarming battery for faster...
I did a quick search and couldnāt find a good match so please excuse me if this is redundant. I just read a postcard I got in the mail regarding a class action suit against Rivian from a class which includes stockholders during a certain window. While I would qualify, I donāt want to be part of...
Iāve bumped into issues where I wish that I could choose my Drive Mode settings (without the vehicle doing anything) and then commit the change with a button labeled, āOK,ā āDo it!ā āMake it so,ā or whatever is on brand for Rivian.
Why? Here are two examples:
There are times when my Rivian...
I hadnāt heard about this until I received an email from the L.A. Auto Show with a subject line of: Welcoming back Porsche, Rivian, and More
This was in the body:
We go every year and itās nice to see Rivian make a return!
After just over a year of ownership and finally taking a real off-road adventure, Iām giving up on keeping my Rivian... looking like new. :cool:
Seriously, weāre not intentionally trashing it, but now that weāve scratched a wheel and scuffed the lower plastic trim on a door itās going to take...
Maybe I missed something on here but I tried searching first. It looks like there are extra actions available for those of us with Shortcuts setup. Maybe they were added with a recent app update?
Here are the options I see now:
When I first setup my shortcuts, I know I didnāt have actions...
It just occurred to me that the blind spot camera feature will solve a turn signal issue that annoys some of us: not realizing the turn signal is on in some conditions.
I find the monotone turn signal sound to be easy to miss at highway speeds, especially with noisy tires and/or audio playing...
If I missed earlier discussion about this please post a link to the relevant post or thread.
I was wondering if future NACS-equipped Rivians, and other EV brands with native NACS support, will face the same limitations with Supercharging that CCS vehicles with the NACS adapter face today: no V1...
How did they keep two entire products under the radar until this announcement in todayās world?!
That was almost as impressive as the vehicles themselves.
Bravo on all counts, Rivian!
The Setup
Weāre in Palm Springs for a 4-day weekend and after a side-trip to the high desert yesterday I went to charge today for the drive home tomorrow. I went to the Blink chargers, started charging, and then got to work on email while I waited. A short time later a Hyundai Ioniq 5 driver...
We took our first long (a little over 560 miles total) road trip in our R1S this weekend, from Orange County to Paso Robles and back.
Before leaving I removed our temporary spare and put our full-size spare behind the 3rd row, just in case. I used ratchet straps to secure it to the tie downs on...
Does anyone know what this strap is for? There is a molded rectangular platform below it so I think Rivian was planning to store something there vertically but maybe they abandoned whatever they were planning. ?āāļø
Did anyone ever see a reference to something going there?
Given the lack of any power points forward of the center console storage on newer builds and the opinion many seem to express that they donāt need a camp speaker, I wonder if Rivian (or someone else) could use the existing space for a removable battery bank with USB-C PD and 12V automotive...
I donāt understand why we have a line drawing of the battery and a whole tile devoted to battery temperature. Does anyone else think it would be better to do something like this crude mockup so that a tile is freed up for something else?
I donāt think this has been discussed but maybe Iām not searching well.
Has anyone else noticed that the puddle lights with compass logo are virtual in the overhead view of the vehicle? I canāt figure out why Rivian went to the trouble of doing this, but itās an interesting detail.
For...
I searched here and couldnāt find anything for this so I thought Iād create a new post. If this was discussed somewhere and I missed it please post a link and Iāll ask to have this thread closed.
Maybe I never noticed this before but when viewing Wi-Fi networks on an iPhone, Rivian Camp Speaker...
Am I the only one whoād like to see a change in the time portion of the Rivian App?
This is what I see:
It took me 11hr 46 min to add 78 miles (39 kWh)⦠except it didnāt. The vehicle was connected to a charger for 11hr 46 min but it was only charging for 6 hours. At least I hope it was charging...
