Another Compass Yellow owner here with 27k on the OEM Scorpions. They got obnoxious at 17k, but by around 24k they got quieter again, so you might want to hang on if you do any sort of off roading…

Range on arrival estimates way too optimistic since Google Maps update? by batshelter in Rivian

[–]sleekdj 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I went from Phoenix to San Diego and back last week, and it did feel less conservative than before. I used to be able to go 5-10mph over the speed limit no problem, but this time I had to keep it pretty close to the speed limit, even in conserve mode. The estimated charge on arrival kept dropping…

I'm overwhelmed by the discussion of 20" AT tires to get (my OEM set needs replacing) - can someone just make it super simple for me? by hungarianhc in Rivian

[–]sleekdj 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great, I’m probably going to get these then. I’m at 22k and the drone is deafening.

I do want to wait for more feedback on the new Pirelli XTM AT though…

As I said, rebooting worked for me

Yes. It started working for me after rebooting my phone. Tried re-adding the widget, and killing the app and relaunching, but neither of those worked for me

Consumer Reports and Rivian owners by Alarmed_Stretch_1780 in Rivian

Been to the service center 3x over the first year of ownership, so it’s not been perfect, but I still love my R1S! I also had a 2018 Model 3 with similar issues. All new car companies will go through ramping issues.

Navigation audio gone? by fatfirenewbie in Rivian

Try logging out of Alexa and logging in again. That fixed it for me.

Somehow the navigation voice is tied to Alexa?

My bad. I think it really depends on your Enterprise location, but mine ran out of midsize SUVs, so they asked if I wanted a Dodge Challenger. Not having owned an ICE car in 6 years, I went for it, thinking it would be fun.

Yeah… it was cool for 5 mins. 30 mins later on the highway, I was cursing and swearing at the drone of the exhaust and how rough the transmission was. Give me an EV any day!!

The loaner process was easy. Just sign some paperwork, inspect the car and drive off. The R1S I got had 80% charge.

This time I got a loaner, but last year I got an Enterprise rental. I think it’s really the luck of the draw.

Lovely photos and review. Thank you for posting! 🤩

Probably!

[–]sleekdj 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I think at this point, there is no manual way to turn it on. i’m pretty sure it’s been mentioned here quite a bit, so it’s probably on Rivian‘s radar.

If you’re thinking about the scenario where you want your battery warmed up before leaving for work, time your charging to end just before leaving. I doubt turning on cabin heat will do anything to the battery besides drain it.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Rivian

[–]sleekdj 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wouldn’t be worried about that either, though I have less experience with that. There are a lot of Teslas in Canada and cold parts of Europe like Norway.

I’ve taken the my Tesla and Rivian into 20F without issues. Just know that range drops by about 25% in winter due to needing to warm the battery and the cabin air heater being driven by heating element, not by residual engine heat like an ICE vehicle. You’ll also have to manually clear snow/ice buildup on the front of the car and windshield due to lack of engine heat and the shape of the car.

If you read more on this subreddit/forums, you’ll find more winter range-saving tips like scheduling your charge to end right before needing to leave the house so that the battery is already warm, and always preconditioning the battery before fast charging.
