    Brake Pad Replacement Cost šŸ¤‘

    Thatā€™s actually not bad, and in line with other manufacturers. The labor is also about right with shop fees. This is less than BMW would charge for an OEM pad install on an X5. Iā€™m guessing here, but the pads are probably Brembo OEM, and historically they carry a higher price than aftermarket...

    Munro Live: The Future of Rivian: Gen2 Enhancements & R2 talk with RJ Scaringe

    That's because Munro & Sandy have vested interests in these companies performing (they are share holders). This is the reason Munro went from being hyper critical of Tesla's engineering to basically calling Elon the second coming of Jesus. I do like watching Munro videos, when Sandy isn't in...

    Catastrophic HV battery failure on highway while driving Gen2 R1T after issue at RAN charger that reset

    @Svitenko - I'd be interested to learn what the loud popping noises you heard were when this all shakes out. Maybe the safety plugs venting in the pack when it went catatonic? This sounds like a horrible experience.

    WFTV - Florida woman can't get out of bricked R1S for 45 min. PSA: check your emergency release access panels

    What are we actually gaining with all these electric powered door poppers? I don't see the value given there is nothing wrong with just a regular old door pull we've been using for over 100 years. Complexity for the sake of complexity. Change my mind.

    Receiving "Your Rivian Authentication Code Is . . ." text messages

    Are you guys connected to TeslaFi? If i had to guess, that's why some of you are receiving 2FA notices. It's probably trying to log-in to your main or sub accounts.. and can't because of the new 2FA restrictions? Just speculation on my part.

    Rear dampener needs replaced, just past warranty

    Sorry about this friend, but you may end up just eating this cost if you decide to keep the car. This is part of the reason you see so many cheap last gen Land Rovers out there for sale with collapsed air suspension. Owners sometimes don't realize that the added complexity equals added cost...

    Reuters: Incoming US Administration to Roll Back EV Policies

    Donā€™t g Iā€™m definitely not in an uproar, but also donā€™t agree with subsidizing any industry. That said, the thinking man would say there is no alternative to the dairy industry and they arenā€™t selling a luxury goods in a market where robust alternatives exist.

    Reuters: Incoming US Administration to Roll Back EV Policies

    Which part is naive? Put china aside, and look just at the market of US built EVs. Weā€™ve got manufacturers going for the highest end of the market (ahem, $115k Escalade EV, Hummer, silverados) and no real low or mid range. The best weā€™ve got is a Ultium Honda/Blazerā€¦and thatā€™s only compelling...

    Reuters: Incoming US Administration to Roll Back EV Policies

    Iā€™m fine with it. I didnā€™t think the American tax payer should have subsidized my $500/mo lease on my ā€˜luxuryā€™ truck anyways. But here we are lol. Make vehicles people can afford, not $90k luxury bargesā€¦ people will buy them without the incentives.

    Have a Lemon? Bring it to Northern Virginia and ...

    Maryland drivers can be summed up as: Nissan or older Toyota, rolling 85mph in the left lane, on a bald front spare tire, with the front quarter panels caved in. Bonus points for passing on the right and/or the right turn lane.

    Opinions on selling price.

    if you entered your state, BB is one of a few up-to-date pricing portals dealers use when making you an offer on your trade. The information is fairly accurate to the week. They'll obviously call around to local wholesalers, but they will start at one of these portals. Finance advance is the...

    Here are the rates at this location on the weekend. .38c seems reasonable? I think it said .50c idle.

    RAN Chargers "coming soon" in Fredericksburg, VA

    Itā€™s open and I charged there today. Didnā€™t have to but I still have 5 months of free electrons ;) I'm very surprised they got it open before the end of the year.

    Consumer Reports Reliability Ratings 2024 - Rivian last

    All but the most fanatical for the brand would whole heartedly agree with this ranking. Compared to the last 5 new cars I've purchased, this one is at the absolute bottom. And on that list are, gasp, Stellantis vehicles.
