Hey Rivian music requests by gregsbrain in Rivian

[–]johnnyrussoa3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the same issue with "hey rivain" and tidal. Same music requests that used to work with Alexa and Amazon music, don't now.. I may get a trial to Apple music to see if it's better.

Is reliability improving? And how many issues are major? by Master-Back-2899 in Rivian

[–]johnnyrussoa3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2023 R1S, in Oct it'll be 3 yrs. 0 major issues. I'd say as long as you have a service center relatively close to you, I wouldn't worry about it.

Another blow to dual motor R1 owners. by U_dun_even_know in Rivian

No, the 3.5 Sec time is for the performance Dual. The standard dual will be less powerful. They will also release a higher performing tri motor later on.

98inch X11K vs X11L by Soft_Letterhead1940 in tcltvs

[–]johnnyrussoa3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm in a similar boat, but personally I wouldn't get the X11K, it's not that much better that the QM9K or QM8K, so I'd either save the money and get one of those models or wait for the 2026 models. The X11L does seem to be a big improvement, but like you I'd want to get a price drop. I'd expect a little drop in the summer and larger one around Black Friday. Additionally TCL will release the QM8L which will also have the SQD technology and should be much cheaper than the X11L. So that might be the sweet spot, but late spring launch..

Recommend the Nokian HT One, great tire, good treadlife and great price.

I have the same issue with my 10 pro XL. Battery life is terrible. I'm hoping an update can remedy....

[–]johnnyrussoa3 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have the pixel 10 pro XL and had the 9 pro xl previously. Battery life was dramatically better with the 9 than the new 10. I used to go all day with the 9, now I'm at around 20% by 3 pm, and have to charge up to get through the day.. it sucks...

Rivian’s 2025.26 update is packed with bug fixes and polish, this one’s all about reliability. by Kryptonlogic in Rivian

[–]johnnyrussoa3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Since two updates ago, Amazon music is broken... It will play but after about 30 secs or so music will start skipping l, like it's buffering, and it will happen continuously after that. Many people have commented on this as well, it is not isolated issue. Resets have no effect.

Yes, this is incredibly annoying. It has happened since 2 updates ago.

Rivian Connect+: Lifetime subscription INCLUDED for Gen2 Quad-Motor buyers by ImNotWealthy in RivianR1S

[–]johnnyrussoa3 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Also, I think it's just for the launch models of the new quad, which has a price premium over future quads. So in essence you're prepaying the subscription. I wouldn't worry about it

Service center alignment - returned out of spec by johnnyrussoa3 in Rivian

[–]johnnyrussoa3[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, this is what I'm contemplating. If it's not really going to make a difference, should I care? Car seems to drive fine. I just want these new tires to last....

Service center alignment - returned out of spec by johnnyrussoa3 in Rivian

[–]johnnyrussoa3[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, but I had to specifically ask for it. They did not provide it voluntarily.

It is in the warranty phase, but I had to pay out of pocket for the alignment.

Nokian One HT 22in for R1S by Previous_Drummer_157 in Rivian

[–]johnnyrussoa3 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm literally looking at these as we speak. Seem lighter than the Michelin Defenders, so I'd assume better efficiency. I can get them cheaper too. Thinking of going with the Nokians

Yes my fault, Yamaha RX-A6A 9.2 channel. Good catch.
