PSA for Rivian owners on the 2026.15 update: some vehicles have stopped reporting accurate location data. If your recent drives or charges look off, here's what's going on and how to fix it. 🧵
@spyderms@brandenflasch I'm going to say it louder for the people in the back... XMM3. But, Rivian needs to either speed run those top apps or just relent on projection systems to be a major release valve. The fact that RVT vehicles will have CarPlay/AA on Rivian OS is omega stupid.
@Kanundrum17 That pencils out to mid 5% range and is fairly mid pack, not really incentivized. For comparison, here is how an R1S Dual Standard pencils out with the current offers.
@Joe4CyberTesla Most of the time in the PNW it’s not awful, but it sure doesn’t take much to howl. It’s really undersized, but it seems likely fixed in R2.
@LancePioneer lol, says the guy with the header that has a face for radio. Many people find Rivian design charming, few find the Cybertruck to actually be attractive.
@Michael_L_Rauch Cars are kind of like significant others. If you feel the need to ask other peoples opinion, you probably already know the right answer. 👊
I've officially landed on a very simple website. I want to be able to share blog type posts. Not really Rivian news, it's just a place where I can go in depth with my Rivian ownership.
Check it out if you're interested.

@kent_simi@txdefi@RivianTrackr You can feel the daylight for how they can get there with current models (did hundreds of miles today, 90%+ driven by the car). But there’s a lot of work left to do.
@techiedani Probably because it has access to literally millions of apps that closed ecosystems will never even attempt to support.
Core experiences like mapping, are indeed well suited by native systems from Tesla, Rivian, etc.
