That's a fair point of criticism. In retrospect, I probably should've left that comment out. It didn't dawn on me that it would be taken as criticism and not moreso a recommendation to 'learn' to drive the vehicle as best you can. But again: acknowledging things do happen, whether luck...

A few things here I'd like to clarify: ***I do think you provided a helpful original post, with good information.*** 1- those guys who have 40+ years experience own Off-Road Consulting. They're the coaches. I'm just telling you what they've taught me. You brought some credentials, so I'm...

Cool story man. I'm not here to be adverserial, but you decided to pull out the creds to prove you're the smart one. I'll bow out of this one. I've wheeled a bunch with guys with over 40 years experience who would disagree with you. But now I'm digging into the 'appeal to authority' fallacy...

My only gripe here is the language suggesting this is an eventuality. I've been off pavement plenty of times and zero tie rod issues. The one time I did witness someone else with a tie rod issue was when he cranked his wheel *while fording* and basically bent it while trying to turn against...

Unsolicited counterpoint #2. In conjunction with those above logically indicating that the R2 platform was built later and this isn't an intentional oversight (which I do believe is highly probably the case)... I'd also suggest they intentionally changed the interface to make it pokayoke (IE...

Kinda cluttered, but extremely functional (the wife's R1S is purpley color now, but my garage is MORE of a mess, so you don't get a updated photo!): And behind the vehicles is my gym: I think I've also maxed out my wall and ceiling real estate. Gotta keep the hobbies somewhere, so they...

I could actually use another set of crossbars. I work in Owings Mills 2 days/week (but not this week). If they're still available next week, maybe we can arrange a time/place to meet.

Do you happen to know which key the crossbars need?

Hey Rivian Community, Just wanted to give some endorsement and credibility to VION here. For those of you who are unaware, I've done some pretty extensive testing of 3rd party filters, which you can review here if you're a nerd. IF not, no worries :) Here's the raw data: Compared to the...

Whomever reaches out to you from Rivian to complete your buying process: that's the person you'll need to talk to.

Have you tried show & tell mode?

I don't know that I've seen all of those specific issues documented anywhere, but there IS a hotfix rolling out for some other known issues (with respect to location and autonomy features auto-toggling off). Hopefully this includes your notables as well

I'd take your $6k for warranty "maybe" paying off and put it instead into the S&P 500. Worst case, you have to take it back out to pay for a repair. Best case, you make money. 'Investing' it into an extended warranty and that money is gone gone gone. The biggest concern owners have these days...

This is certainly uncharted territory and I know we can't answer this with confidence, but I did do some searching, and from what I can tell, you're likely to encounter the following: 1- The good news is: I believe BMS will 'take whatever it can get' insofar as DC derates when thermal or...

I think that your assertion that this is likely software is likely based in hope and not reality. Sorry to say, but it's sounding like it's a hardware problem and you're going to need to have your BMS/ onboard charging system serviced. Hopefully I'm wrong, but I'm here to point out that at...
