  1. Installed the latest VION Ocean Coast reflective shades - my review

    they both have a reflective surface on the outside. The black one shows black textile inside and the grey one shows grey textile inside.
  2. Apple iOS Text/Messaging Integration

    That's a challenge with Bluetooth MAP. As for me, I don't respond to group texts via voice in the car.
  3. Apple iOS Text/Messaging Integration

    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.
  4. Installed the latest VION Ocean Coast reflective shades - my review

    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.

    Here it is: https://www.vion.parts/products/r1s-r1t-roof-sunshade?variant=46810359955645 You can use CARSLY to knock 10% off the price shown ;-)
  6. Installed the latest VION Ocean Coast reflective shades - my review

    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...
  7. Installed the latest VION Ocean Coast reflective shades - my review

    If you have a black mountain interior I’ll give you my old sunshade in that color scheme. DM me if you want it.
  8. Stupid previous owner = $$$ L2 installation

    I bet the 50' run was more than half the total. it's a long pull with heavy gauge wire and copper ain't cheap. not much you can do about that.
  9. Stupid previous owner = $$$ L2 installation

    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...
  10. Installed the latest VION Ocean Coast reflective shades - my review

    mayb 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...
  11. Installed the latest VION Ocean Coast reflective shades - my review

    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.
  12. Installed the latest VION Ocean Coast reflective shades - my review

    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...
  13. My "adventure truck" was destroyed by suncreen...

    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...
  14. R2 Launch Edition expectations

    that’s supply side. Tesla also has plenty of excess supply capacity as do GM and others. Question is how demand ramps/caps out - see R1.
  15. R2 Launch Edition expectations

    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...
  16. Interior Color Question for any Rivian Owners

    Side note. Ocean Coast and Coastal Cloud are definitely NOT white. Both are a light to medium grey that can appear more whiteish on camera.
  17. What non-streaming audio option is MOST important to you?

    for road trips and adventuring AM/FM radio just plain work. nearly everywhere you’ll get some signal.
  18. CNBC: Rivian laying off hundreds of workers amid R2 launch

    ...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.
  19. Interior Color Question for any Rivian Owners

    no harm done, just trying to help the OP and anyone else considering Rivian’s light interiors. We’re good :)
