I've had my 2025 R1S for a year and a half, no text message integration is one of the big drawbacks with RIvian. Supposedly you can use Rivian Assistant to read/respond to messages but I haven't found a way to get them to display. Wish it was as seamless as Tesla.
Every shade I've seen and tested so far, and there have been a few, use the clips. Tesla uses a similar system. The clips don't really come off unless someone chooses to take them off.
I have the electrochromatic roof as well, but it doesn't block IR much, if at all, so the cabin gets quite hot - and I've got the Ocean Coast interior. For me, it's a must-have from mid-June to mid-Sept in the northeast.
If you order from Vion's web site (https://www.vion.parts/) you can save...
If you want to pull more than 24 amps I'd upgrade your main panel to 200 amps. You shouldn't L2 charge an EV on a 100 amp panel unless you're not pulling much power.
a 200 amp main panel would allow you to put a 60 amp sub-panel in the garage and charge at 48 amps if you don't have any other...

maybe if you tinted it topside you could theoretically accumulate enough IR in the glass to create a new problem. But light of all wavelengths is designed to pass through glass. if anything, none of the other scattered light from the front windshield or side windows will now go through...
VION did a nice job with these. I don’t know for sure, but it wouldn’t surprise me at all if they released something similar for R2 once there are more units out there and they can get measurements and do fitment testing.
Received a set of the latest @VION reflective roof sunshades that cover all three rows (older generation was black only and only covered first and second rows). With dogs regularly in the back and summer now reaching record highs in NJ the timing couldn’t be better. I do have the...
seems unusual but the “vegan leather” is a petroleum product so it does require more attention than regular leather in my experience. maybe try to clean it off frequently? in terms of the damage, it shouldn’t happen with regular use but wear is a thing and putting other substances on it is not...
I think Rivian can do 50k units in 2027 or 2028 getting to 75-100k units. Real target is Rav4 and CR-V buyers more so than Model Y. Both have off-roading presumption, not so much Model Y.
But Rivian needs to get profitable on R2 and R1 by Q2 2027 or they go under and the software JV just gets...
...and also generating billions in one-time services revenue that might help Rivian show a book profit, but any analyst trying to dissect the health of the underlying automotive operations would back these revenues out as non-recurring.
