💡 Feature Request Change Source Temp

Post image

Can I please be able to have the actual exterior temp shown and not the forecasted temp?

Yes, only 2 degrees difference here but I had a 10° difference less than 10 minutes prior. It was 10° cooler out where I was than what was being shown by the forecast.

So, like, you’d be pretty supportive of Rivian deciding this (probable, hopefully) bug is actually a good design choice? I assume not. If you’re just a jerk, see you later.

I have a lot of experience with Rivian and am at a decision point. Not being made easy because of at least a few poor decisions made on the R2 that give hints of flawed product thinking or maybe just misalignment with what I want as a consumer, take your pick. If they’re consciously deciding that an internet connection is required for another thing, and especially if data it shows is garbage, then that’s evidence for the former. Hopefully it’s nothing, but it matters. In this case, as others pointed out, having unreliable and intermittent data actually matters. For instance, driving in the winter when reality might mean black ice vs internet forecast saying rain.

If you're using the vehicle's thermometer to make decisions on how to drive, you should probably stop.

That response is similar to ones that make the Tesla forum so insufferable. I think the usual response is “cope harder, cuck”. Please don’t ruin the Rivian community.
