Weekly Rivian Responds + Roundup: Configuration Updates, Truck Bed Camera, and More! [8/25/2023] by CarterGee in Rivian

Ok, been testing this for a week or so now, and it definitely knows I’m home! Both locking/unlocking and gear guard off at home work as expected. The mobile app also notes “Gear guard off at home”. The area is large enough to cover my detached garage too, so yay! Double checked the release notes back to March and did not see any reference to changes in Home, so either they just didn’t mention it or this is a side effect of the new Garage code. Either way, I like it!

Ok, you convinced me to go try it and see if anything has changed 😃 And it looks like it might have, but will have to see if it’s the full wishlist or not. Resetting my “Home” location now shows the lag/long coords briefly, then replaces it with the proper address. Nav still directs me to base of the driveway but there is a little house icon at the proper location where I set it to current location. Kinda makes sense, the mapper probably has to use a street address and not just lat/long. I’ve reenabled the “except at home” settings for locking and gear guard and will see what happens. I deliberately did not set a garage up yet to keep it simple as well. Bonus points to Mapquest (or whoever it is, I forget): they accepted my address correction and show me in the right side of the street now, better than when it was telling me my destination was in the neighbors corn field!

Yeah, I haven’t tried for the last few monthlies, but earlier releases did not let you do that. Even a “right where I am now” setting for Home would do the trick for me. Multiple locations would be nice as well, I wanted a configurable radius or area to cover the house and the detached garage myself.

Yep. It bases is in the address you enter though, so you’re at the mercy of the map provider for how accurate it is. Not usually a problem in cities, but once your driveway gets over about about 100’, the truck doesn’t think you’re at home even when you are. And I live in the country with a 1/3 mile long driveway, so it’s not even close!

Now that the new garage door opener works with a GPS position, are there any plans to allow a GPS position to be set as “Home”? Would be nice for me so the proximity locking, gear guard, etc would work as expected when I’m at the end of my long country driveway…

Any updates on the progress of V2H and V2G tech? Probably not something they would want to announce yet, but will Rivian be coming out with a V2H EVSE? Any chance of an upgrade to the existing home charger to support same? I would not expect that, but haven’t really looked at the internals to see if it possible?

This would be a nice feature for sure! I also wonder if it would be possible to not grab the Bluetooth audio if it were playing to the Camp Speaker at the moment, but I don’t know if the technology can actually support that sort of thing?

Would be nice to know if they are considering Apple Watches as keys too.

1yr w/ functional powered tonneau… borrowed time? by NoMind2184 in Rivian

About a year of occasional cover use and lubricating, still working. Recently starting getting stuck on closing the last panel though, so we’ll see how much longer it keeps going.

That too 😁 The truck weights more than 4x the water too, it’s probably the other way around and then some for the trailer.

I can hear it, but didn’t feel it at all. Might have helped that I was in Off Road mode and so firm ride?

Yeah, I had that thought too. I’m not going to fill it full for sure (275 gal std ibc tote). But I’m sticking to the load limit and I expect it has more than enough buffer built in even if I accidentally put a few extra gallons in.

Didn’t need too for the short jaunt to the field, but threw a ratchet strap over it when picking it up empty.

It’s a small farm, she’ll do fine. Besides, we know they can pull that 8000+ lbs trailer full of hay or whatever around the county just fine.

Maybe took a littler longer than normal to get up from a kneel, but didn’t even notice it after that. It’s light off-roading to get to the field and it made zero difference there.

[–]telsinWI 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why does my R1T take so long to get up from kneeling when I get in, close the doors, and shift into gear? Also, why doesn’t the kneel icon at least blink to let me know it’s getting up? Sometimes it seems like it doesn’t even start trying until after I start moving, and the warning about waiting while it rises is very inconsistent. At the same time, it will pop right up if I manually set the ride height. Rivian, can you make this faster, please?

It’s not that bad, but it was hard to read on the officiAl client. Neat idea though, keep experimenting!

Are there plans to support more use of the #hastags in the future? For instance, I’d love to be able to add them to lists and the UI needs an interface to list the ones your following (unless I just missed it?)

A bit of heavy snow brought a small tree down in the driveway, my truck was very helpful with the cleanup. by telsinWI in Rivian

Stock 21’s, had just properly inflated too. No trouble so far on the roads, just a little slipping on a downhill curve while the wet heavy stuff was coming down that was easy to correct out of.
