  1. My Rivian Driver+ almost killed me

    I've experienced several incidents where Driver+ would have caused highway crashes if I didn't intervene. Because of that, Driver+ is essentially worthless to me. I don't enjoy being a guinea pig.
  2. New R2 photo (fifth teaser)

    This seems accurate. But then that begs the question of how are they going to achieve that and still be under the $50k price point? Smaller battery alone won't do it? They need to cut like $30k+ cost out of the R1. This seems too similar to the R1 to accomplish that. If the R2 is not under...
  3. Introducing the Custom Sound System Storage Case for Rivian Owners!

    So this is a storage case for the camp speaker? I've had countless portable bluetooth speakers and never once used a storage case. Seems like a very niche need and product.
  4. StowNCharge by Adventure High Tech - Review / Installation

    I don't care about the charging aspect, I want one of these just for the storage compartment!
  5. CONCERN: RIVN have enough cash to to go beyond 2025 and launch R2?

    you mean the factory that is currently rough graded? The question is will they be able to survive until 2027 when R2 sales finally start occurring.
  6. 2024.03 Software Update *BETA* (Quick Controls, Individual Passenger Window Locking, Ride Feel & Ride Height Improvements & More)

    While I agree that we all chose to purchase a Rivian, and therefore it is our burden to bear, I don't agree at all that we should accept the vehicle EXACTLY as it rolled of the lot. That is completely contrary to Rivian's own philosophy and marketing. Rivian has been marketing their OTA updates...
  7. RIvian internal announcement: Software upgrade from Dual to Dual Performance available in 2024

    I have a hunch that they have been holding off on this announcement to push more initial sales of Performance DM. I think if you have the ability to upgrade at a later date, Rivian is afraid that most people will purchase the regular DM initially, thinking they may upgrade to Performance in the...
  8. Mods For Less Cartoonish Front End?

    I know this is a little off topic, but I don't mind the front-end as much as the back-end. Every time I'm behind another R1 on the road I think "Geez, does mine look like that?". The rear end of the R1s look so squished and just don't match the rest of the vehicle. The photos don't do it...
  9. Rivian's 100Ah Battery Bank (Camp Speaker Replacement) Patent

    For those of you that don't want to wait...https://www.anker.com/products/a1294?variant=42631739768982&collections_power-banks=undefined&Sort_by=Recommended
  10. CyberTruck is more than Stainless Steel...Tesla excels at Engineering in so many ways.

    I'll start by stating that the Cybertruck is hideous and I love my R1T. But this is list is not a genuine criticism at all. It is just as easy to create a similar list of Rivian's overpromises / failures / compromises. For instance: - Tank Turn - Removeable Roof - Electrochromatic Glass Roof -...
  11. R2 spied on the road?

    whatever it is, it looks very bouncy
  12. Software Update 2023.42.0 is out (⚠️ UPDATE: OTA fix rolling out today 11/15/23)

    I completely agree with this sentiment. I LOVE the vehicle, but it is becoming a burden and inconvenience to own. And like you said, there are really no signs of improvement. If anything, things are getting worse. If I could sell it for what I paid, it'd be a tough decision.
  13. 2023 Q3 earnings (beat) results! Rivian raises production goals

    Unfortunately, I think it does make more sense for Rivian to "fix" the problem with Enterprise rentals while they ramp up production and hiring and service centers. It's a band aid. And yeah it costs a lot, but it is a relatively small globally. Here's my very conservative napkin numbers...
  14. Rivian App 2.4.0 available

    I just set it up shortcuts so if I double tap the back of my iphone it unlocks my Rivan. And triple tap the back of my phone now locks it. And it works! This is so cool! https://support.apple.com/guide/shortcuts/run-shortcuts-tapping-iphone-apd897693606/ios
  15. Poll: Operational Sun Roof

    I would prefer anything over the plain glass roof. Either delete the glass roof altogether or make it operational/functional (electrochromic glass, power sunshade, ability open, ability to vent, or removeable panels). As is, the plain glass roof has more cons than pros.
  16. Standard Dual Motor does not get new Gauge View

    Read this and tell me that the you actually think the "the vehicle as it stands today is what you are buying" is an accurate statement. If that were true, why would they even bother with OTA udpates? https://stories.rivian.com/vehicle-technology-innovation Here is just a few excerpts from one...
  17. Standard Dual Motor does not get new Gauge View

    I don't agree at all. Rivian has been marketing their OTA updates almost more than anything else. They have continued to tell customers that your vehicle will get better over time. This is especially true because they are new manufacturer and had to get vehicles sold and on the road as quickly...
  18. Standard Dual Motor does not get new Gauge View

    I completely agree with this sentiment. They need to clearly differentiate the product before selling it. That's pretty basic. Otherwise, everything they do in the future will be completely subjective (by Rivian) and met with criticism. Also, because the vehicle and the company are so new, and...
