    We are here to listen! Share you ideas for rims' design

    I've got the OEM 22" darks and think they're beautiful, but I've scarred the heck out of the rims despite my best efforts. Seriously, it's insane how easy it is to grind these wheels: one was gashed on a speed bump when I was slowly turning in reverse out of a parking spot, and another was...

    Charging when home only has 30A circuit

    I charge nightly on a Rivian wall charger running off a 30A breaker, and the car charges automatically at 24A on that circuit. I have no idea how it knows to do this, but I suppose the wall charger passes along the relevant information to the car.

    2024.11.2 Software Update Released! => Release Notes: Send Navigation, Mapping, Charging Feedback/Scores + Rear Display Improvements + More

    Yeah, I'm totally cool with this offering, especially given all the stuff they have been doing lately on other important fronts. And I actually like getting functionality (finally) on the rear screen, as my kids are very happy to hear they'll have some agency over the experience in the back...

    Future R1 Software Updates Preview (captured from R2)

    Will be interesting to see what they do, and appreciate the continual evolution of the UI. Really, for me, adapting the UI to have features that enhance phone mirroring and interactivity is the thing Rivian lacks but everyone wants. It doesn't have to be CP/AA, to be clear -- just something...

    How to Improve a Rivian R1T's Meridian Sound System w/ Simple EQ Changes (Equipment Measured Tests & Results) + Comparison to Elevation System

    Ah, makes sense, makes sense. The joys and challenges of fully electrified rides. I can only imagine how immersive watching a high-fidelity movie in your home system would be!

    My Rivian Driver+ almost killed me

    I've had a at least three instances where HA/D+ pulled me suddenly and rapidly to the left in error, while at 70+ mph in the left-most lane of 183N in Austin. I chalk this up to the fact that there is construction all over the place, and the lanes and barriers are totally screwed up, to put it...

    How to Improve a Rivian R1T's Meridian Sound System w/ Simple EQ Changes (Equipment Measured Tests & Results) + Comparison to Elevation System

    @superfluid - wondering if you have a trusted Austin car stereo installer? I'm considering just biting the bullet and going for a new system, but as more a vinophile than audiophile, I wouldn't have the first clue who to trust locally with an assessment and install in my precious.

    Summarized: R2 / R3 / R3X specs & info from MKBHD & Scaringe hands-on interview

    I can't imagine ocean plastics sells cars standing alone, but I guess it's of a piece with a larger brand zeitgeist Rivian is trying to project that I think does sell cars to a rising demographic of buyers. In the end, though, Rivian also has to be as good or better than alternatives A, B, and...

    R2 Reveal Livestream Watch Party - March 7 @ 10 am PST!! -- NOW!! ๐Ÿ˜ณ ๐Ÿ‘€

    I think they may be building the R3 page while we're clicking. There's now a zip file with 28 empty images accessible, and a video file, none of which are up quite yet. LOL.

    An R3 page is now up on the website, but it crashes when clicked at the moment ... I can guess why! https://rivian.com/msp

    How-to: Watch videos on the Center Display Screen (FOR NOW)

    I spend an unbelievable amount of time in parking lots in my it's-not-a-minivan while my kids practice sportball. And I would love to be able to take advantage of that lovely screen and the speakers that surround the space I'm sitting in for a bit of mindless entertainment.

    How to Improve a Rivian R1S’s Elevation Sound System With Simple EQ Changes (Equipment Measured Tests & Results)

    Um, mainly just out of curiosity, but what volume do people routinely listen to these settings? The sound is definitely crisper and cleaner to my ear with these changes, but I really need to crank it up like 18-20+ to feel any sort of real Db footprint. It seems like I used to be able to get...
