  1. Any R1S Delivery Updates?

    A Facebook group today had a picture of a transport pulling into the San Fran service center with 3 R1Ss on it. Donā€™t know if they are for employees or customers, but I was excited to see more than one of them at one time. Edit: Just spent 5 mins scrolling Facebook looking for the post to...
  2. Vehicle (Tag) still not registered

    Sorry so many of you early adopters are having trouble with what should be a simple process. curious if any of you have tried to email the CEO office about these challenges. And a speculative side commentā€¦.I suspect the RegUSA is trying to hold onto the sales tax money as long as possible and...
  3. I added CarPlay to my R1T

    You are looking at it wrong. Yes, there is a chunk of the market that does not want CarPlay/Android Auto at all. And Tesla has established themselves as a gorilla in that chunk of the market. Plus this will be a very small slice of the market because you can just not use it. There is another...
  4. I added CarPlay to my R1T

    So theyā€™d rather forfeit future revenue streams to rival car manufacturers? Thatā€™s an interesting choice.
  5. I added CarPlay to my R1T

    Nicely done and thanks for sharing. I hope whichever Rivian employees monitor this forum take notes.
  6. Apple announces major updates to CarPlay

    I agree, Waze should be the only navigation app in the system. Iā€™m not going to explain why it has won the market if serious navigation users, Iā€™m simply going to state that it has already won the market because it is the best. Rivian should not be selecting which music subscription service...
  7. Apple announces major updates to CarPlay

    Even though I disagree with your approach (See my prior post), Iā€™ll play. I want Waze, Apple Music, and Sirius XM. By the time we get everyoneā€™s list, CarPlay will have become an obvious easier approach.
  8. Apple announces major updates to CarPlay

    Building on thisā€¦I have a newish LG tv (2019?) that has an App Store. It has most but not quite all of the streaming apps. And I have it connected to a Firestick where I run those same apps. Why? Because the exact same Disney+ app (or any other streaming app) works better on the...
  9. Apple announces major updates to CarPlay

    Also, real quick for the ā€œAmazon invested in Rivianā€ people ā€” My Alexa/Echo plays Apple Music. My Alexa/Firestick plays Apple TV+ And my iPhone has an Alexa implementation on it (that I use more often than itā€™s Siri implementation). Amazon and Apple work together just fine.
  10. Rivian Virtual Shareholder Meeting and Shareholder Letter- June 6, 2022

    This is how I interpret it. SOME ā€˜22 deliveries will slide to ā€˜23, not all. But to someone elseā€™s point above, we are having to parse words. A better PR release would make that unnecessary. I continue to believe that the influencer Yosemite video from a couple of weeks ago means R1S...
  11. The Built In Navigation Solution

    Just want to reply to this with my experience at lunch today. Group lunch less than two miles from my office. Because it was a bigger group, I set a Waze departure notification to make sure I wasnā€™t late. The surprise started when my phone buzzed about 10 minutes earlier than I expected. And...
  12. Why no Rivian app for iWatch?

    Doesnā€™t Apple let the hotel chains access the NFC for room keys? If they let Marriott do it, why would they deny Rivian?
  13. The Built In Navigation Solution

    Oh, the ****** system in my Cadillac is Mapbox? I wouldnā€™t wish that system on my worst enemy. I have 3 better navigation options on my phone. I use those instead. Those three are the market leaders. Everyone else has failed, defeated by those three. Edits and additions: Those three are...
  14. The Built In Navigation Solution

    Its not my condo that is missing. I am a Waze editor, I know how maps get fixed. And Waze has a map editing community that has more people in it than Rivian will make vehicles in their first several years. If the prior posterā€™s 5 year old condo is missing from OSMā€¦that tells you a lot about...
  15. The Built In Navigation Solution

    If Rivianā€™s answer is ā€œThanks customer, here is the link to edit the map yourselfā€ā€¦.they might as well go out of business now and return that cash to the shareholders. There are very good navigation solutions available to them that donā€™t require them to roll their own. People donā€™t buy $100k...
  16. My thoughts, two weeks into R1T ownership...

    I will use this as another opportunity to comment that trying to compete with Google Maps, Waze, and Apple Maps is a fools errand. Apple should have shown that quite clearly with their launch of Apple Maps a few years ago, which was a horrid mess with all of Appleā€™s resources behind them. I...
  17. Question for people who know manufacturing

    I also think the SCs are playing a bigger role in this than we realize. These are first generation vehicles, they are going to have issues. We have one recall public thus far, and I expect there will be more in the next 12 months. (How many does Tesla typically have when they deploy a new...
  18. Current look at Brooklyn Rivian Service Center's parking lot full of R1T

    Strongly suspect this is at least part of that backlog. My understanding, based on a recall on my current vehicle between when it finished assembly and was transferred to the dealer, is that the manufacturer cannot deliver a vehicle covered by a recall until it is remediated. My dealer told me...
  19. Electronic Nannies limiting Acceleration

    Top speed might also be limited to help keep liability insurance costs reasonable. The weight is already going to be a big issue with liability.
