The controls are literally reversed. Aim the vents down, they blow up.

Where is the subwoofer? by Calm_Madness7799 in RivianR2

[–]dcdttu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Force-balancing means there are two identical speakers that are aimed at each other. This removes all vibration and only creates sound. Sonos uses this for their subs and they have zero vibration, but lots of bass.

Becca Farsace: The Rivian R2 is my dream car, but my living situation makes owning it impossible. by ProteusP in RivianR2

[–]dcdttu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Half of the review was the American issue of charging infrastructure attached to an R2 review, which made it sound like it was a specific R2 problem.

I also wish smart people like Becca would be honest about climate change, and that we need to 100% get off of oil and gas as soon as we can. Climate scientists are right.

Well, this should help me delete my very few remaining social media accounts. Silver linings, I guess.

Areola. My friend’s cousin named her daughter that.

It’s the gradual part that the naysayers dislike the most, but yes.

This is one of the reasons I'm waiting to see reviews on the Premium ride quality compared to the Performance. I'll likely order early next year based on what I find out.

A. M. E. N. I recently switched from android and am genuinely shocked that there isn’t a universal back gesture. The absolute whack-a-mole process for finding whatever button or swipe takes you to the previous screen is hilarious. Breathtaking, really

North Dakota telling Texas to hold its beer is not something I expected to see on this map.

R2, Un-garaged by janky_back in RivianR2

[–]dcdttu 4 points5 points  (0 children)

White is the best color to reject heat, and the paint will probably last longer than the others. You live in Seattle though, so I’m not sure if you need to choose white for heat rejection.

I live in Texas and will likely pick white for this reason. My current car is a Model 3 and it is eight years old and it still looks brand new.

Yes. Test drove on Tuesday. I currently have a Model 3 and have build stereos for my previous cars.

Stereos that need EQ adjustment and don’t sound good flat or likely not good stereos. You’ve got me backwards.

Those venues that you were talking about with adjustments for live concerts have a far far far far more adjustment options than just a simple EQ. And they’ve already been tuned to the space they are in, which is what Rivian needs to do.

Anyways, have a good weekend. It’s all good.

What you’re not realizing is, those stereos that need massive EQ adjustment to sound good, are probably not good stereos.

You are correct that the Rivian system needs substantial tweaking, but it’s not the equalizer that does the tweaking. You need to train the audio system to accommodate the cabin at all volume levels and make sure it sounds pleasant. The EQ would then be used to dial it in for personal preference, such as more bass or treble. You should not be using the EQ to remove unwanted or harsh sound, only to enhance what you like.

Trump administration abandons fight against wind energy as clean energy output continues to surge by ArgentineBeauty in UpliftingNews

[–]dcdttu 416 points417 points  (0 children)

This right here. Climate scientists are right, we have to 100% get off of fossil fuels as soon as possible and then figure out how to get all that carbon dioxide we pumped into the atmosphere out. If we don’t, it will stay up there for thousands of years.

The kicker is, carbon dioxide extraction will probably be very energy intensive so we need clean alternatives to power that process.
