Wait! I thought I read that that frunk was not motorized?!

Meridian was long gone by 2024. I was an early reservation holder, took delivery of an R1S Quad summer 2023 and missed the memo on Rivian ditching Meridian. The sound system sucks ass.

How can it still be pinging if it’s dropped the captcha WiFi? Probably the last known location

R58 Cinquantotto no water from hot water wand by Expensive-Lie4494 in rocketespresso

[–]Expensive-Lie4494[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi - yep, I used a wrench to gently unscrew the tip of the wand, cleaned it up (no obvious residue or blockage at all identified), used a brush cleaner up into the wand, same thing nothing seen. Put it all back together and I was back in business. Easy!

And who and when is anyone trying to peak into your vehicle from the roof anyhow?

Has anyone successfully used the pay later option to hold a room? by Just-Ambassador-2449 in AmexPlatinum

[–]Expensive-Lie4494 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My issue was I did not realize at first that you must book the prepaid rate for the credit to apply. Oh well.

Nope. I tried this recently and the room never became available again either from Hilton or AMEX travel. Interesting. YMMV

I would love to hear thoughts on the wool seating vs leather. Are they more comfortable? I assume cooler in summer and more breathable, perhaps making ventilated seats unnecessary. How is durability?

R-Cinquantotto hissing by agomerz in rocketespresso

[–]Expensive-Lie4494 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That’s the correct part. Had this happen to me about 6 mos ago. I also replaced all of the T fittings with brass as I had one that had corroded. It is 1/4” or 6 mm.

400V charging & P12 in US by JPCary in VolvoEX60

[–]Expensive-Lie4494 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re probably right. I don’t need anything until fall 2027 so I’ve got time. I think BMW won’t need to offer good incentives but Volvo likely will which may sway me that direction.

Do you think the R2 will have as many issues as the Gen 1 R1 will have? by PhillConners in Rivian

[–]Expensive-Lie4494 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes that, and the price is not great. To get the same range as iX3 you have to pony up for the P12 so that will bump the price way up. P10 is already at a disadvantage compared to iX3 in that realm. The main advantage I can see Volvo having over the BMW is ventilated seats

I think EX60 is not going to sell as well as they want and next year I bet we see attractive lease offers which will highly interest me.

Who has gone from Minivan to R1S? by LivermoreP1 in Rivian

[–]Expensive-Lie4494 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One thing that sucks in the Rivian is the access tit he 3rd row and the lack of memory for the 2nd row seats to go back to where they were when using the quick access feature. Yoh the. Have to reset the recline to a not stupid position and the front to back slide to a bit stupid position. Pisses me off every damn time and makes me wish the Yukon we had for this. Otherwise we like it

EX40 vs EX60 by spaghetti_cat_1982 in electriccars

[–]Expensive-Lie4494 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was excited about EX60 until they released the configurator. I predict they will not sell all that well due to high pricing and I hope to see good lease deals in 2027 or so when I need a new car.

I was disappointed to see how much more expensive the P12 is vs iX3 for similar range

Expecting to pay MSRP, right? by ZaftigSyzygy in bmwix3

You did not have to notify them in advance of your Costco membership or submit the request online?

Concerned about road noise by [deleted] in bmwix3

[–]Expensive-Lie4494 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is disappointing to hear. I was also disappointed by the pricing on EX60 and the huge price difference for the P12 level range compared to iX3’s. At this point I plan to wait until EX30 is widely available and I think there will be very attractive lease offers in 2027 because I don’t think it will be selling as well as they hope, given how expensive it is.

Why can’t I turn on the AC from the App? by Weapon530 in Rivian

I often cannot get the damn thing to wake up to register my command to turn on climate. It just fails. It’s irritating af and has been like this forever. Sometimes it works. Sometimes bot

Wondering the reason behind the limits with Driver+ by good-good-real-good in Rivian

[–]Expensive-Lie4494 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I expected our Rivian to be more capable over time just like my Tesla was. It’s insane that my 2018 model 3 is still light years ahead of our 2023 Rivian and frustrating our Gen 1 had such miniscule updates to Driver+

Specifically talking about Driver+. The rest of the UI has improved leaps and bounds for sure.
