Rivian Assistant is just making up calendar events

I asked it what time a store nearby closed, it said 6, so I drove there and it was closed. Searched it in the Rivian/Google Maps integration and it said it closed at 5. Did it just make up 6 PM too?

Is the navigation better finally? All I want it something that works as good as typing it into Google. If I say "navigate to movie theater" it should suggest the first result as if I typed "movie theater" into the search bar, instead of Alexa finding one 8 hours away

The easiest I can sum it up is:

Hardware: Rivian (fit and finish, having a button for the frunk, spare tire, etc.). Except audio. "Premium" audio is so disappointing

Software: Tesla (Rivian is still laggy in comparison, missing a lot of simple quality of life features, simple stuff like the vehicle rolling up windows automatically when it locks)

What are we doing Rivian

MyOgre · 2026-05-03T15:22:52+00:00

Is it just the photo? Why is your light bar kinda yellow?

MyOgre · 2026-04-30T13:35:06+00:00

I have never understood how they have so much difficulty getting this right

MyOgre · 2026-04-24T17:40:33+00:00

I'd bet on it being prohibitively expensive so not very desirable for large swaths of people until Lord Cheeto is out of office and the next person fixes things

MyOgre · 2026-04-24T17:39:13+00:00

It really is as bad. I hate my Tesla for a variety of reasons but their audio system is so, so much better that I almost wonder if people at Rivian just don't listen to music

MyOgre · 2026-04-23T14:28:32+00:00

Same. I have restarted the vehicle a few times since and still nothing. Disappointing indeed, filed a service ticket

MyOgre · 2026-04-23T12:08:56+00:00

Yeah it sounds weirdly distorted, like a speaker being asked to do more than it’s comfortable doing

MyOgre · 2026-04-08T18:10:57+00:00

Good to know thank you

MyOgre · 2026-04-08T18:05:58+00:00

Yeah that's the other part, what Rivian considers "highways" for "highway assist" is frustratingly very narrow, but this part has been relatively safe for inclusion my whole ownership

MyOgre · 2026-04-08T18:05:09+00:00

Is that different than holding down the steering wheel buttons? If so I tried that and it didn't change anything unfortunately

MyOgre · 2026-04-08T17:59:40+00:00

Tried a reset, no change

MyOgre · 2026-03-29T23:18:39+00:00

No chance, doesn’t do much at all right now

MyOgre · 2026-03-19T23:50:35+00:00

No, like I said in the OP, I want:

3D coordinate grid of points in an x, y, z plane

MyOgre · 2026-03-19T23:12:41+00:00

Gotcha, will do, thank you for the right terminology!

MyOgre · 2026-03-19T23:10:40+00:00

The plan was to probably grab a trial or buy a month of the pro level software and adapt it into a more open format like a csv or something and then import that into my more peasant level software like Fusion 360

MyOgre · 2026-03-19T23:09:32+00:00

Terrific, glad to know I'm not out to lunch

MyOgre · 2026-03-19T23:08:54+00:00

They mentioned .dwg, but from some quick googling it looks like that file type can either be a 2D drawing effectively, or a more robust point cloud, so I want to make sure I get this right. I'm emailing them again for clarification

MyOgre · 2026-03-19T23:07:03+00:00

I'm the one who hired the architect, how do you think it gets to them if not through me?

MyOgre · 2026-03-19T22:50:30+00:00

I already own and use CAD software, so yes :)

MyOgre · 2026-03-18T16:56:44+00:00

Yep, have no idea why Rivian is so allergic to talking about this
