  1. New Thule Epos bike rack - Rivian featured in ad

    This is probably in the forums somewhere but does the rear accessory mode turn off blind spot monitoring while driving or mess with it at all? I see my window signals lighting up but want to know if it interferes with normal blind spot monitoring function. Thx. Kuat nv2
  2. Tidal Hifi+ sounds much much better than Spotify

    Is the assumption that Tidal/Spotify/etc. will require a subscription to Rivian Membership when it sunsets at the end of the year? If so, does anyone have any idea how much this will cost? Signed up for Tidal b/c the bluetooth connection in the car was very bad (unlistenable with my iphone due...
  3. Cracked Windshield

    same thing just happened. sand from the back of a truck, sounded like rain (very small pieces) and then I realized it was causing a bunch of small chips all over the windshield. really surprised that they caused the cracks. anyone have recommended products for repairing?
  4. Door speakers not putting out much sound... normal?

    Im pretty convinced the tweeters/drivers in the headliner arenā€™t working at all. Do they only selectively fire under certain conditions? Iā€™ve tried messing with the 3d settings as well as playing a full range of electronic test tones but no sound seems to be coming from them. Also done a full...
  5. California Sold: Rivian Wall Charger NIB for sale Bay Area $565

    I've got a Rivian wall charger NIB that I intended to install before realizing I'm out of room in my panel (already have an evse for our other car and we're getting by just fine with one (full panel upgrade is uber expensive)). Just looking to recover original purchase price + tax. Happy to ship...
  6. Rivian R1S vs BMW iX comparison review by Car and Driver

    Definitely experienced porpoising a lot on highways. suspension clearly just mapped directly from the truck without tuning much. the steering response is great imo, really tight turning circle. yes, it has a slight lag compared to my model 3, but the r1s is not a sports car competitor. the...
  7. Alex on Autos' Follow-Up After Selling His R1T

    I thought that could be a problem back in 2017 so they replaced it but it didn't solve the problem unfortunately. The most frustrating thing is that they don't look at the logs at service, they just run their general battery diagnostic test which comes back green and say there's no problem. At...
  8. Alex on Autos' Follow-Up After Selling His R1T

    That is incredible efficiency. Interestingly, I've personally struggled with my model 3 vamp drain since 2017, tesla refuses to consider it an issue and have run diagnostics and then sent me home about a half dozen times since then. I lose 15-20% each night with all systems turned off (sentry...
  9. R1S Delivery Experience and Initial Impressions (SF Bay Area)

    Yeah, I do think the post delivery fit/finish issues were causing major overhead on the service centers which is slowing down things all around effectively increasing their delivery COGS. The car is really incredible all around for a first large-scale manufacturing effort. I think the fit/finish...
  10. Garage Door programming

    Cant' get the system to pair/work with a commercial liftmaster gate controller at the office. Really challenging because the dedicated remotes aren't powerful enough to reach the antenna. Have to get out of the car while people are waiting and walk up to the control box while pressing on the...
  11. Garage door opener activated in OTA update

    Also can't learn our remotes for office locations which is a challenge (can't really access the office easily otherwise)....trying to find a solution since the dedicated remote range is low so we have to hop out of the car and walk up to the gate to get it to actuate.
  12. R1S Delivery Experience and Initial Impressions (SF Bay Area)

    Thanks so much for the detailed reply. I was hoping the window noise could be patched but it sounds like itā€™s a common issue (Iā€™m going to get an earful from the family if I canā€™t find a way to at least reduce the db :) ). i havenā€™t run into any issues with creaks at low speed yet. Did very...
  13. South San Francisco Delivery Updates? Bay Area R1S roll call

    quick update. Just picked mine up from the South SF service center. experience was really smooth. a few minor issues with the car but nothing that can't be fixed with a 30 min follow up. notes here...
  14. R1S Delivery Experience and Initial Impressions (SF Bay Area)

    The day finally came (20 days shy of the 4 year mark) and I wanted to share a few initial impressions after picking up the vehicle and having a brief opportunity to drive this weekend. DELIVERY EXPERIENCE: Super smooth. The on-site rep had me sign two pieces of paper confirming vehicle receipt...
  15. The train has left Normal! Updates from Guide (Oct 12)

    That's great news! Good luck with the pick up and eager to hear how the experience is. We have a first drive scheduled this weekend to check out the vehicle and get a final pass from my wife and kids before taking delivery. Guide originally thought we'd get our vehicle before the first drive...
  16. The train has left Normal! Updates from Guide (Oct 12)

    That was my hypothesis based on truck delivery timing and patterns I've seen there, but it may just be that the socal trains reach their destination first after a split somewhere earlier in the E>W trip as others have mentioned. I'm curious if anyone has a south SF delivery scheduled this...
  17. Trade Interest for Rivian Wall Charger

    Iā€™m not sure if this is possible with the rivian charger but you may be able to set the charger to 40a draw with some dip switches inside and put a whip with a 14-50 plug into the box pretty easily. I know a few other chargers that offer this capacity to go hardwired or plug in.
  18. South San Francisco Delivery Updates? Bay Area R1S roll call

    Iā€™m assuming they are making some major changes to the delivery strategy and continuous improvement capas on their line to account for fit and finish problems. Ie Post delivery follow up overhead was too high of a burden and tweaks to their line to improve quality will help scale. Will be best...
  19. Car and Driver Review: 2022 Rivian R1S Has Appeal, but the R1T Pickup Drives Far Better

    Iā€™ve noticed the porpoising in early videos of testers driving around and was surprised. Several forum members pointed out the same thing. This was at least 1.5 years ago so Iā€™m surprised they havenā€™t tuned the suspension to deal with the shorter wheelbase this much later in production. Should...
