I've had my R1S for a week now, and I'm starting to get very comfortable driving it.
It's a little bigger than I'd imagined, but other than that I'm finding it pretty intuitive.
FYI: 2/20/2020 res. 4/20/2023 delivery (I'm including a photo. It's pretty!)
Questions: I actually left my phone at work last night, so I've been using the card and wristband for access. The card is quite unpredictable once inside the vehicle for finding the place to "wave" it to get the car into drive mode.
-Is this a common challenge?
Also: the wristband seems to be able to unlock the vehicle and allow access, but it does NOT allow me to put the vehicle into DRIVE and actually start it.
-Is this also common? (There is NO wristband key explanation on the Rivian site)
When I popped to the store today, the R1S did not "chirp off" and lock after I walked away for 3 solid minutes. (I watched, and yes, I was far enough away).
-Is this a common challenge?
Now that I am back home, I have the car in my driveway and the car will not lock, or chirp off. The door handles remain open. I have taken the wristband off, and it is by my purse with the key card here in the dining room. Normally it chirps fine when I'm this far away.
-What's going on?
Also, even when I have my phone, sometimes I have to stand next to the car for a solid 10 seconds before it recognizes me and unlocks. Other times it unlocks as I walk to it. Quite odd.
Is anyone else out there having these "chirp challenges", especially when they don't have their cell phone with Rivian app nearby??

Unlocking your Rivian - Rivian Stories
When you lock your Rivian, it makes the sound of a mountain bluebird, recorded in Yellowstone National Park. The chirp assures you that your R1T or R1S is secure, but without startling nearby wildlife or pedestrians.We designed and built electric vehicles capable of taking you down whatever you...
