  1. Rivian Assistant very slow

    Rivian Assistant currently does its thinking on a server in the cloud. The latency depends on the quality of your internet connection. It doesn't work at all if the car has no internet connection. This will change when the R2 gets the advanced AI processor. Rivian Assistant will then do much of...
  2. Would love to see Rivian put LIDAR on the R1 first!

    Introducing LIDAR will likely require the accumulation of a great deal of training data in order to realize its full potential. Accumulating that data will be faster if there are more vehicles providing it. Hence the R2 is rhe better choice. Besides, the R2 already has the provisions for LIDAR...
  3. wiring needs for V2H vs level 2 charger?

    You can have a limited number of bends or degrees of bends and still pull wire through a conduit. With buried conduit, pulling Ls and junctions are not possible, so pulling cable later is impossible. Most available Level 2 chargers will not accept heavier wire. There's no room in the terminals...

  5. What’s in Your Rivian Wash Kit? Here’s Mine. 🫧🧽🛻

    I take my R1S to the local DIY car wash. It has stealth PPF and cerami coating. I don't use the high pressure rinse, high pressure wash, foam brush, wax, or blow dry features. I do use the low pressure rinse, low pressure foam pre-rinse nozzle and the spot-free rinse. I just don't pull the...
  6. Interested in protecting scratch-prone hard plastic areas of R2. What to use?

    Canvasback makes door covers, both generic, and custom for R1. They also make custom seat covers hammocks, and seat back covers. They're made from rugged, waterproof, polyester canvas. They attach with hook-and-loop tape webbing with buckles, and elastic straps, depending on you car..
  7. NEW APP BUG - Amperage Adjustment

    Best solution would be for Rivian to adopt a standard API so that Tesla Powerwall and others could connect to it. I have an eisy based home automation system. While it has available node servers for Tesla, there is nothing for Rivian. I presume that is because Rivian does not publish a stable API.
  8. Interested in protecting scratch-prone hard plastic areas of R2. What to use?

  11. CNBC: A ‘perfect storm’ points to a much smaller U.S. auto market by 2040

    They don't make cars like they used to, thank goodness. I'm old enough to rember when it was unusual for a car to last 5 years before it was unreliable junk. Before the Rivian, I drove a MINI for 22 years. The MINI only stopped when it was totaled. And yes, an R1S Quad is a lot different from a...
  12. R2 Factory Window Tint Level % - Measured Values (All Glass)

    Some people like the look of tinted side windows. It looks cool. So there is a reason for it, even if it makes little practical sense.
  13. R2 Charging Light bars

    They only work if the car is not locked They are pretty useless.
  14. R2 Factory Window Tint Level % - Measured Values (All Glass)

    Thanks for the measurements. I think that you're right in thinking that most of the solar heat comes through the windshield. Tint/film wont help much. Infrared rejection is commonly misunderstood. Most of the incoming solar energy is visible light. The light heats surfaces within the car which...

  19. CNBC: Rivian laying off hundreds of workers amid R2 launch

    If i may be permitted a digression in the interest of better understanding. Elasticity in not just an economics thing. For those who dig mathematics, here is the real definition where its called sensitivity. The sensitivity of x with respect to y is the partial derivative of x wih respect to y...

    My vanity plate (Utah does not require a front plate. You can't even get one.) has my amateur radio station callsign. Ham callsigns are globally unique.
