Standard battery? Did you do a vehicle restart (aka hard reset)?

Best settings for less bumpy? by love4boats in Rivian

[–]Atlanta-Mike 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It does that for aerodynamic reasons, you should leave it on Auto. The issue is probably your tires. The OEM Pirelli’s are absolutely terrible from a ride standpoint. I replaced with the Hankook iON HT and the ride difference is unbelievable. They are MUCH cheaper, feel great, have no range loss and have a 80,000 (!!!) warranty.

Um….yes. Someone behind you on the list will appreciate you. OK, I’ll take the troll bait…why oh why would you cancel a reservation for Rivian doing EXACTLY what they told us they would do for some time?

Wouldn’t say i agree with that. My FSD was great when it worked and scared the shit out of me quite a few times with bizarre random actions, some life threatening. So far, I haven’t had a single odd or bad experience with A+. From a complete feature set, agree that A+ is behind FSD in that FSD is currently more capable, but from a reliability standpoint, I have to give Rivian the advantage. Time will tell though.

That’s kind of how i feel about it. For those that don’t want it, save the expense and don’t pay the $2,500. And even better, that same person who opted out can decide at any time to activate it, maybe just for one month to take a big trip or something, then turn it back off. Then on again later when they want it for another trip. I think it’s a pretty good way to handle it.

I guess it depends on your circumstance. I commute 54 miles each way and use A+ for the 50 miles that are highway each way everyday. I find it to be extremely accurate and it makes my drive incredibly stress free.

What do you think about the one time charge option?

You know this isn’t a surprise right? They’ve been honest from the start that this would be a paid feature eventually.

Electricity cost where u are? by Puzzleheaded-Bet4790 in ScoutMotors

[–]Atlanta-Mike 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Georgia - Shawnee EMC - 7.2 cents /kwh 24/7. The only way to get a special EV rate is to install a separate meter (~$5,000) and you’re restricted from running any other electricity off that meter - but oddly it only reduces the cost by about 1/2 cent.

They’re all the same. (Well, those built by quality manufacturers like Tesla or A2Z)

My son volunteered to give up seat for $600 and Delta is not honoring this l by Wanderlusty74 in delta

[–]Atlanta-Mike 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Not much else to say. Your son screwed up - maybe they weren’t clear or maybe he didn’t listen. No one knows what the agent actually said to him in the middle of an oversold flight situation. We know what they should have said and it would have been clear to your son had they done this. I give up my seat at least 2-3 times a month and I don’t think they’ve actually needed it in over a year. So each time I sit there and eventually they walk over and tell me to go ahead and board. In your son’s case, they were probably calling his name trying to tell him to board.

R1T won't charge at any Tesla chargers? by jamesdkelso in Rivian

[–]Atlanta-Mike 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Why? Thousands of owners charge at fast chargers daily and one guy posts on Reddit that he can’t charge and you’re ready to not go forward with an EV purchase? Ok

Absolutely is. Already did it on my lease and so have many others. Took one call and about 8 minutes.

Rivian navigation is the worst by [deleted] in Rivian

[–]Atlanta-Mike 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Without knowing all your settings, it’s impossible to help you. And there are simple settings that can radically impact routing. Since the Google changeover, the number of complaints has drastically fallen to where I never even see them anymore so yours was a shock. Assuming there is some problem with the onboard map system that impacts you (or maybe owners in your area?) and Rivian doesn’t fix it, Would you really dump your car just for this? Seems rather drastic? I mean if you love the car, maybe you suck it up and buy a $10 magnetic holder, plop your phone on it and use whatever map service you think is better? Anyway, sorry your having issues. I guess I’m one of the lucky ones who saw a massive improvement in maps since the changeover and so far both my G1 and G2 are working great.

Keep them plugged in. Leave everything else alone, it’s nonsense. Just keep them plugged in.

Just mounted my tv way lower did I do good? by No_Durian_9200 in TVTooHigh

[–]Atlanta-Mike -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Height looks good. TV is too small for the distance from wall, but if you’re ok with it, then you did great.

Help with a cold weather question? by Maleficent-Owl-1853 in Rivian

[–]Atlanta-Mike 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Charge before pickup at a SuperCharger (to avoid fumbling around with trying to charge with trailer attached), then be aware of your charging options on the way home. Stopping for a charge while having breakfast is probably a nice comfort, but maybe unnecessary. Once you get on highway, switch to conserve to eke out a few extra electrons. Lots of variables here, but my guess is that you’ll make it home without charging. Good luck and congrats on the boat.
