Yeah. It's a reasonable work around that doesn't work as well for me. My Alexa account is linked to a family Pandora account (not my personal one) because you can only have 1 device streaming Pandora at a time. So if I'm streaming from my phone and someone else is streaming at home from an Echo...
Maybe. Although some could likely be retrofit if Rivian had a mind to. But this is my list. I didn't choose to make it software only updates or things other people want or things that would make financial/business sense for Rivian, it's features I'd love to see in my vehicle.
I don't just own it, I love it. It's still the best thing going for my needs but that doesn't mean it can't be improved upon. Have you ever seen a perfect vehicle?
I always hate changing rules in the middle of the game, which is what this is, but I don't hate the idea of rewarding corporate backers - stock holders, previous purchasers, etc. Rivian is prioritizing R2 delivery if you own an R1. Cruise lines give you on board credits if you own shares, etc.
I've had my R1S for nearly 18 months and 24K miles now. I love it. I also have a list of functions and features I'd like to see to improve it. I welcome your thoughts on my items and your own additions. In no particular order:
Waze integration
Pandora integration
Music download/caching...
I've done mine - between rotations and swapping between my 20s and 22s - probably 4-5 times now. It takes me right at an hour start to finish including bringing out the tools and cleaning up.
If it makes you feel better, the exact same thing happened to me first time using car wash mode. I saw in the next update they're changing it to present door handles after a manual unlock when in car wash mode to help avoid confusion.
Totally agree on knowing when the keep the kw flowing and when they drop too much, just go to the next one. And really take advantage of lunch, etc. when you don't mind waiting a little longer at slower chargers. Great tips!
I'm sorry you had a really poor experience. I've had my R1S nearly a year now and have just shy of 17K miles on it. I've done 3 multi-day (1800 -2800mi) road trips. With a little pre-planning I've managed to avoid any serious missteps. This has been my process, if it's helpful to you...
Agree with @godfodder0901. My R1S from 10/22 has been awesome. A friend got his last month and it's in the shop bricked - bad inverter. It's rare, but it happens. With any car. My R1S replaced my 2014 Grand Cherokee. Less than a year into ownership the transmission went out. They replaced it and...
I have a <1000 VIN R1S. Other than express windows down not working, it's been great. My AC compressor has been crazy loud lately but that doesn't seem to be an early issue.
I got mine in Oct 22. I've got 16,500 miles on it. The AC is annoying but isn't all the time. I finally opened a ticket for them to look at it next month. The only other annoyance I've had is the express up/down on the windows doesn't work. I've had it in twice to address it but nothing has...
