Announcing our new "CLUBS" section where you can join or create a Rivian club or group! You can use this new feature to conveniently plan and discuss local events, gatherings or other club/group related topics.
So we encourage you to join (or start) special-interest and regional-based Rivian clubs at: https://www.rivianforums.com/forum/group-categories/clubs-groups.1/
I didn't actually do anything. This was just part of the most recent update. It specifically mentions lowering the volume but still complying with 141.
I hadn't checked that one, but I think your right. Reverse seems loud still.
I haven’t really researched the relevant federal regulations, but perhaps there are different decibel thresholds for the pedestrian warning noise in Drive vs Reverse
Because some of us drive in areas without cell service. CarPlay allows rich interaction with the phone's content without relying on a network connection. Even the truck's built-in Spotify won't function without a connection, yet my phone can download my playlists for offline use. Likewise, I have Gaia GPS for off-road navigation...the truck's built-in maps won't show trails or work on roads outside service areas. I can also load GPX files into Gaia for trails I want to run and basically get navigation for them. There are tons of reasons to support this and those of us who want/need it are just as sick and tired of this response. If it's there, you don't have to use it if you don't want it...but with no option, we're just stuck when in areas lacking network coverage.
The truck has offline maps and will navigate offline as well. It's not as quick to do navigation but it works. POIs work offline as well. It's not perfect but it's certainly better than what you're suggesting it is. But I see that you don't have a truck yet, so, hurr durr away I guess.
Does the Rivian have a speaker in the rear as well as the front? My MINI Does and "moves" the PWS from front to rear when you shift into reverse. If the Rivian doesn't, they may need to keep the volume high to hear it at mandated levels from the back?
I am (perhaps irrationally) terrified of the height changing when I'm in a garage, so I will only enter if the posted clearance is higher than the manual's max height. And I will only enter on standard -- never relying on low or lowest to squeak by.
I disagree, I think it works pretty well. There are some bugs with it but overall there hasn't been anything bad enough I've encountered to want to throw it out the window, besides when I had the whole infotainment system bug out a few patches ago. I'd rather Rivian focus on bug fixing and adding features that are vehicle specific than to spend manpower on enabling AA or CP.
I am not having this debate with you, it’s been had here many times. Nobody wants to read It.
The only time the suspension adjusts to a degree that would potentially cause issues in a parking garage is at speed, for example in AP and going back to Standard from Low. This happens around 40 or 50mph. Even then, that's an adjustment of around 1.5", and I'd never drive into a garage with that tight of a clearance to begin with.
And to frame it differently, the spec max height with antenna is 6'6.2". I am saying I would not enter a 6'6" garage just because it happened to fit on a lower suspension setting. That said, I did take it into a 6'7" garage this week...
At least the people on the polestar forums have a right to complain about it. Polestar promised it as a feature for a long time and it just finally came available last week. But, that patch broke a bunch of unrelated stuff so they pulled the patch until they can fix those things. Most likely it required re-archetecting parts of their system and it broke things.
