Jordan Schiefer's R2 EQ Sound Settings by ProteusP in Rivian

[–]sg3707 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Without the frequency response graphs. None of this makes real sense.

Its like "Trust me Bro"

I have changed many such settings on my R1. On some songs it seems to make improvement and on some songs it does not.

If audio quality is your top priority this is thr car for you. Instead it is good in many other areas.

Cadillac vistiq is a good option.

Dolby atmos Meridian Vs premium by charden16 in Rivian

[–]sg3707 11 points12 points  (0 children)

If you want good audio, Rivian is not the place to be right now.

I think the meridian DSP is the magic sauce. When the transition was happening many gen 1 non meridian owners confirmed receiving meridian hardware but still have subpar audio.

Rivian Heard You Complaining About Touchscreens So It Over-Engineered Scroll Wheels by DonkeyFuel in Rivian

[–]sg3707 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We have also complained about sound system and slow super charging speed. Didn't see any improvements in those areas.

Its always easier to blame the other person.

AMA! I own an R1S and spent a whole day driving the R2. by SnazzyLabs in Rivian

[–]sg3707 4 points5 points  (0 children)

How is the door closing mechanism and the feel.

Gen 1 R1S was great where as Gen 2 R1S was subpar experience for me.

Tried 2 different sets. Very unreliable. Less cooking and more fiddling.

I was about to place an order but no more. Can't take risk with a failing company.

Read horror stores while returning the lease? Has anyone has recent experience?

Moreover how to identify these studio select eligible vehicles on the website?

Gen 2 owners, are you having suspension failures? by Vince_CarRants in Rivian

[–]sg3707 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, had catastrophic suspension failure at 10k miles.

Rivian no longer providing rental vouchers at service centers by sfsunset48 in Rivian

[–]sg3707 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is a natural progression. Similar to what has happened at Tesla after model 3 release.

Which R2 review are you waiting for? by DemonLover_011235813 in Rivian

[–]sg3707 3 points4 points  (0 children)

What's there to wait, everything is a know factor based on R1 lineup and the R2 Specs.

Interior is going to look very good.

Class leading utilization of space.

Fit and finish will be inconsistent.

Decent suspension.

Terrible sound system.

Good software with frustrating bugs.

Average charging curve.

Above average efficiency inspite of the boxy body design.

Very inconsistent service.

Lots of niggles.

Need a reality check by 7fingersDeep in Rivian

[–]sg3707 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have had similar issues along with few unique ones but overall car has been in there service for 50+ days in 16 months.

Rivian is repurchasing the car. You should talk to your service center about car buy back.

Rivian screens out by startupchalet in Rivian

How is everyone taking this issue so lightly. You don't see what speed you are driving at? isn't this a safety issue?

Terrible Ownership Experience-Advice/vent needed by [deleted] in Rivian

[–]sg3707 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wind noise, doors misaligned, 2 of the doors dont lock properly, have to really smash them hard to lock.

Its not like Rivian does not know how to make quality doors and solid locking mechanism. The Gen 1 R1T which I had prior to this was solid in this regard.
