  1. Next R2 Software Update (2026.24) is Big! Garage Door Opener, Pet Comfort Mode, Gear Guard, Launch Mode, WiFi Hotspot & More

    Agreed! Homelink mirrors are so overpriced due to their patent on the tech. I haven't bothered to get it in my last 2 vehicles and just use the old-school visor mount ones, you can find them for about $10-15 (or less) on ebay and amazon, just get the type that matches the color of your...
  2. First 24 Hours with R2 - impressions, positives, nits

    When I bought our home charger for my ID.4 I got one with NACS for better future compatibility even though my current vehicle uses a J1772. I just leave my A2V stellar adapter connected all the time and have never had any issues. Not all adapters are created equal so I suspect they are just...
  3. First 24 Hours with R2 - impressions, positives, nits

    Does the rear washer clean the backup camera on the R2?
  4. First 24 Hours with R2 - impressions, positives, nits

    it’s on page 113 of the manual (available here) https://assets.ctfassets.net/2md5qhoeajym/4WqYEOWo8zzPp1PBNMumN5/9fce9e456ccd620292eddc0238b6d530/r2-my27-og-en-us-2026200.pdf
  5. Ketchum: Wait for LiDAR? - The Rivian R2 LiDAR story isn’t what you think

    Went on a test drive today and the rep definitely tried to set expectations really low on the immediate usefulness of the Lidar and couldn’t give any timeline info. As someone who bought one of the first AWD Pro S ID.4s and then got screwed over by VW when they updated HW and basically stopped...
  6. R2 Launch Mode demo by Wassym -- 0-60 in 3.45s. Coming to R2 in next OTA update

    Ha ha., I am a software engineer 😀 By and large, you prioritize development of features that are either low hanging fruit, that are going to help drive sales or give you a competitive advantage. Sometimes you let the engineers do stuff they find fun to keep them happy. I’m sure Rivian has...
  7. R2 Launch Mode demo by Wassym -- 0-60 in 3.45s. Coming to R2 in next OTA update

    What is the point of this and that whole animated UI? Is it just for racing? Personally I’d rather see them spending more time on more useful software features like text integration with iOS, adding more apps to Connect+ or knocking items off their Coming Soon checklist: “The following...
  8. rivian google maps vs native google maps

    I like to use it on Apple maps in areas I am not familiar with, to get a better idea of exactly where I need to turn. I can easily count the traffic lights on the map and know where I'll be turning so I know when I may need to switch lanes etc. This is arguably one of the best features of...
  9. rivian google maps vs native google maps

    I can't seem to find this info anywhere. Does Rivian's implementation of Google Maps actually show stop signs and traffic lights along the map (like Android version does (and Apple Maps on iOS)?
  10. Finished R2 demo test drive? Share your review / impressions

    Did you get an invite to demo? I keep checking and I see lots of times for Boston (no way I want to drive to Boston for a test drive let alone test drive a brand new vehicle in the city) but no demo times are popping up for Hudson, NH.
  11. Can we add a different audiobook platform to Rivian?

    Currently considering the R2 (and others) as a possible replacement for my VW ID.4 next year, but was really disappointed to see a real lack of "native" app choices available given that CarPlay is not an option and you need to pay for Connect+ to get the built-in apps. Really hoping that apps...
