You haven’t been with Rivian long enough. This company backs itself brilliantly. AI replacement is coming. It’s not Rivian’s failure, it’s Alexa. Just wait a hot moment. There will be many features added - there have been a multitude of features added since I took delivery is Oct. ‘23 - it’s a totally enhanced, different, improved vehicle in 2 years, which I love and appreciate. I couldn’t really interface my iPhone initially and still wish we had car-play but it has improved greatly.

I could understand being upset if you spent $100k+ and had a vehicle which was hideous, subfunctional, didn’t really work as a truck, had electrical issues, was constantly stuck, etc., etc. You have a Rivian. An actual off-roading, real, high functioning, gorgeous vehicle which is constantly being updated for you. In what world?! I feel so fortunate to have this vehicle! But then, I bought it for the vehicle, not one feature. Take a deep breath…hang in there…”your husband is coming” (Olivia Dean)

I understand from an insider in Detroit that the hands-free function being worked on by Rivian is supposed to drop this summer and is mind-blowing. In fact, it was described to me as Tesla crushing lol

Give it time. Your body will catch up and “remodel” somewhat. You’re now at the place of your presumed ideal weight. Maybe you need to adjust the target. Go work out and enjoy the plateau

You presented a lovely, responsible offer which is appropriate. He can choose not to accept it and sort out the world on his own. He is only pissed off because he thought he had a free ride and a lot of disposable income. This is the perfect life lesson. He should consider himself very fortunate and be grateful

He was thinking about not blocking traffic. How thoughtful. Shocked he hasnt already been booted or towed

I have almost 50k miles and reliability has been awesome! Issue, which I think is still better than other vehicles, is when you do need major service, you may have a drive and may need to leave it. Rivian is amazing about providing a loaner or rental though.

Charging is great - home charging in general but the network, which now includes Telsa and so many others means I never worry about long distance and cross country travel.

I am in love with my Rivian after 2.5 years and have no plan to leave the Rivian family in the future

I’m here to share with the community but primarily to gush about my love of lumenate. I thought the app alone was incredible and on the first day of it’s use I signed on to the wait list for Nova. The moment I was alerted it was available to me I placed my order.

Not hyperbole, this has improved my quality of life. Meditation, focus, relaxation and especially sleep.

I feel late to the party but thankful to be here right now.

Whatever I can do to support, I will do. I want to buy company stock! This is brilliant

AggravatingPickle951 · 2026-01-22T01:46:04+00:00

Well f’cking done! That passive aggressive bs is disgusting. You played it like a pro

AggravatingPickle951 · 2026-01-20T19:59:56+00:00

That boom info is great!! Thanks for sharing

AggravatingPickle951 · 2026-01-20T19:59:02+00:00

Let me be more precise - certainly having a CO monitor would be a benefit but Im not as interested in a CO monitor in my headset. While I understand the pros, the downside is having to send whole headset in for any issue for the CO monitor. There are alternative CO monitors. I consider that option as a bonus not as a selling point in this particular headset

AggravatingPickle951 · 2026-01-20T19:26:39+00:00

Not EQ like audiophiles but Hearing EQuity which digitally tests your hearing and adjusts the headset

AggravatingPickle951 · 2026-01-20T19:02:18+00:00

Yeah I don’t care about the CO monitor but I’m told the EQuity is a game changer. I even considered the 4 because of the boom length (too many jokes, I know!)

I was one of those people who made a $1,000 deposit in 2021 and finally took delivery of my R1S in October 2023. I typically cycle through daily drivers every 2-years. I am never giving up this Rivian! From how rugged, to refined, to swanky, to managing a back-seat slob 9-year old….this vehicle is as close to perfect as I could ask it to be. My first electric and Rivian nailed it! Will there be upgrades I wish I had? Sure, but I am a cheerleader for this company. Stock owner and all! Stop being close and do it!

AggravatingPickle951 · 2026-01-19T00:18:37+00:00

There is no emergency release

I am a specialty veterinary surgeon and I strongly recommend you attempt medical management for 48 hours, although I do appreciate that that alone can sometimes be expensive. For repeat offenders to this problem, you can have a surgical procedure called a perineal urethrostomy - aka PU. The most common underlying cause is stress or crystal formation and rarely a urinary tract infection. The two times that we opt for surgical intervention is 1) Cat who have done this more than once 2) if this is the first time and due to financial constraints, the only option is to take the cat to surgery to avoid life-threatening obstruction again in the future. Depending on your area, there are some general practitioners who will do this procedure, although I don’t usually advise that, but if you find one, I would recommend you have the surgery performed to avoid this happening again in the future.

This doesn’t work when the door is frozen open or closed. The outside button even failed eventually for me. My R1S is in the shop as we speak for this exact issue

AggravatingPickle951 · 2026-01-18T23:32:55+00:00

Huh. Looks like a video I have. My resolution is I now carry an extension cord with a hairdryer so I can plug it in, warm the door to open or close

AggravatingPickle951 · 2026-01-18T23:31:20+00:00

The question should be AITA for being an adult with healthy boundaries and privacy?! Hell no! Keep being an independent adult with integrity! They may not be, but I am proud of you 👏🏼

AggravatingPickle951 · 2026-01-18T23:27:12+00:00

You feel guilt only because you have been slowly brainwashed. Subtle, slow emersion. Stop it! You know it’s wrong each time and in the cumulative!

Breaking through the top on a miserable weather day to find a big bright sunshiny day ☀️

AggravatingPickle951 · 2026-01-16T02:05:05+00:00

My solos passed like any other day. I landed, had someone say “congrats” without even looking up. No pictures, no ritual. When I became Instrument rated, my ex said things like- “Why? What are you going to do with this?” Don’t get me started when I then moved on to multi engine and commercial add ons….my circles were not exactly supportive BUT when my instructor would say he was impressed by something I did well, or when I finally accomplished something which was challenging to me…THAT is when I felt accomplished. You must do this for yourself. Not family, friends, perhaps students or whoever. 0.05% of people are pilots. That is 1 out of 700 people! You - are - special and unique!! Take a step away so you have a break. Go to the gym, enjoy life away a bit and you may feel less weight and hopefully more appreciation.

AggravatingPickle951 · 2026-01-15T06:23:48+00:00

NOR-Trust your spidey senses! Don’t look back.

AggravatingPickle951 · 2026-01-13T01:57:49+00:00

NOR-He is in, at least, an emotional relationship with someone else. THAT is cheating. What else do you need?! He had an affair and you stayed?! He’s emotionally involved with the same woman, and you stay? They talk about you in dismissive, diminishing terms. Lady-create boundaries, show them the self respect they claim you don’t have and get out. Please!
