  1. Ringing High Pitch Noise

    I have a similar noise as well, most audible to me around 40-60mph. It sounds like maybe inverter noise or something generated by the power electronics. I mostly don't notice or think about it too much after having my truck for ~9mo/9k miles.

  2. Software Update 2023.50 -- Scheduled battery preconditioning & other useful improvements!

    It's very subtle and I thought it could be my imagination, but soft feels better to me now. I really didn't like the overly floaty and borderline out of control feel of soft before, but now body motions feel more controlled. But, a small enough difference that it could just be in my head.

  3. What do you want addressed in the next OTA update?

    If you plug in and set the charge rate to a lower limit, do not reset the charge rate until the plug is removed.

  4. Confirmed: Newer production R1 only have a single 12v battery, but...

    Well the user manual says to keep the vehicle plugged in when not in use, so that's kind of like a 240V battery tender.

  5. Amazon music not working after software update

    Same here after the 2023.14.0 update. I first tried a soft reset but that didn't fix it. Signing out from Alexa and back in fixed it for me. I do have a strange (new?) issue with streaming music stopping when I switch into reverse and not resuming when back in drive.

  6. Hosed...?

    He would post an update, but his phone battery died.

  7. Manual Tonneau Cover Update From Rivian 4/10/23 -- Shipping Summer 2023

    With traditional manufacturers you are buying from the dealer, not directly from the manufacturer. Tesla has likely avoided major class action suits around autopilot since they also force arbitration.

  8. Solar Integrated Charging

    I'm not an expert on this, but I think it's better to control the charging rate from the EV charging station side of things. The station can integrate with inverters and the panel meter to adjust the charging speed based on solar output and total load. Or at least this is the sales pitch from...

  9. Manual Tonneau Cover Update From Rivian 4/10/23 -- Shipping Summer 2023

    So they finally assigned an engineer to draw up the plans? ;) Just kidding. Love you Rivian. P.S. I'm eagerly waiting for my cover so please hurry up.

  10. San Diego Rivian meet up?

    I'm interested. I tried to test out the truck on Black Mountain or Lusardi TT but the gates were closed a few weeks ago. Probably a good thing since I only have fix-a-flat kit.

  11. A lot of R1Ts just appeared in the shop, including some Launch Green.

    Rivian finally broke me down. There was a launch green truck that matched up to my reservation so I jumped ship off the quad/max pack boat and snagged one. Supposedly it's ready now for delivery. 191XX VIN. Hopefully not somebody's lemon. LOL.

  12. Dual Motor Rivian Orders are now being confirmed!

    1/22 Max pack reservation holder here so I'm much further down the line. But can there be more that a few thousand of us out there? Still holding out for now, at least until final details on the battery size, efficiency, and weight of the truck are available.

  13. Enhanced Dual-Motor -- features different mechanical/electrical design or just a software change?

    Am I the only one that is slightly skeptical that either Rivian's quoted 0-60 times or the hp ratings for the upcoming dual motor versions are correct? Using crude web calculators and assuming 7000lbs, the 840hp quad motor is estimated to have a 0-60 time of 3.1s. I estimated a 150lb weight...

  14. Latest EV tax credit status (as of 12/30/22) - summary by NYT

    "Auto industry lobbyists want the administration to interpret that provision to mean that cars purchased by leasing companies are commercial vehicles. If that argument flies, and the Treasury Department indicated Thursday that it will, rental companies, ride-share services and leasing companies...

  15. Latest EV tax credit status (as of 12/30/22) - summary by NYT

    Not sure if this has been discussed elsewhere, but the FAQ on the IRS website seems to seriously contradict the hope that having a binding agreement and taking taking delivery in 2023 will qualify for the rebate: Purchase date vs. delivery date If you entered a written binding contract to buy a...

  16. [Official Feature] Rivian Drive Systems Decoded: Dual-Motor, Enhanced Dual-Motor and Quad-Motor

    The Hummer EV has a locking front diff and a “virtual” rear locker (but only three motors). But yes, open diffs with brake control is a functionally adequate if not exceptional system for all wheel drive.

  17. Anyone change to a Dual Motor?

    I'm not an expert by any means, but from reading into differential design an open differential always sends equal torque to both sides. In worst case limited traction conditions like if one tire is in the air, half of the applied motor torque will be wasted in the brakes (the other half moves...
