    Brake Pad Replacement Cost 🤑

    Parts: twice what I expected, you can find plenty of "performance" quality pads at half the price Labor: For a Rivian, I can see just shy of 2 hours. It would take me at least that long DIY. Their labor rates are on par so I'll allow it Taxes: I hate Seattle... Thoughts?

    Washington Sold: Five 20" Staple Wheels w/ AS Tires

    The time has come! I haven't touched my OEM wheels in so long, it's time to find a good home willing to use them. I have five OEM 20 inch "staple" wheels with Pirelli All Season +3 275/60R20 tires mounted. 9/32" left on the 4 main, unsure of the spare but it's definitely at least the same if...

    Service Center Lesson: Remove ALL Accessories

    I dropped my truck for service in Seattle Tuesday, clearing out items from the cabin, bed, and took off the crossbars. I looked at the frunk tank and my gear tunnel slides thinking, "There's no way they'll need under those for suspension and tailgate issues." Well jokes on me, the suspension...

    Seattle Service Center - Rideshare to Enterprise?

    I got the jounce line replacement added to my service appointment in Seattle next week! Has anyone had a prolonged appointment and used the rental car option? I asked on the phone about estimated length, to which I learned I had "a rideshare to the rental agency, and rental booked." Are they...

    Seattle Area PDR

    Does anyone know a good Paintless Dent Removal in the Seattle area, preferably Kitsap? Carstar is the only one I see by me, but Metal Magic in Tacoma has good reviews. I dented the tailgate pretty good after slamming one too many times trying to get the broken latch to close, then dropped a...

    RTT Aero Test

    Someone smarter than me modified their R1T to plug the roof aero holes while towing, leading a few of us to ask if it's more aerodynamic with or without plugs when running with an RTT. We're leaving for a trip using the RTT tomorrow, so it's time to run another test! Like my other testing loop...

    First World Problems: multiple Rivians -- how to deal with app notifications

    If you have multiple Rivians in your app with you as primary owner, how do you turn off notifications for one of them but not the others? E.g. I only want to know when my Rivian is left unlocked, not the other(s).

    Quad Motor Gary Emblem

    OG Quads unite! We don't need no stinkin' profile-view Gary. My latest arts and crafts project: magnetic Gary emblem. Sadly, it won't stick to the tailgate. Is the tailgate a different material? Or just too thin?

    When your Rivian eats bad electrons...

    ... It'll need to relieve the pressure somehow. I have no idea why my truck dropped the nose and lifted the ass. After jumping in it and putting in drive, it leveled itself out no problem with no error codes.

    Flaking paint on gear tunnel swing-arm

    Seeing as it's been two weeks since I submitted this to Rivian and they've yet to respond to this ticket, despite answering two others and already fixing one, I'll post this here for the group's insight. I took off the exterior trim cladding on the gear tunnel spring so I could properly...

    Suspension Wiring Connectors

    I recently received the dreaded Service Suspension Soon / perimeter sensor warnings. After a car wash, they would flash on for like 3 seconds, turn off, then repeat a few times during the ride home. Now they're staying on after about the third flash. A sleep cycle clears it but it inevitably...

    Pet Mode Music

    So we finally got adopted by a pupperoni, Douglas Fir Munro AKA Dougie Fresh, who snoozes really well in the dog hammock during car rides. I've noticed he hates quiet rides, isn't really a fan of podcasts, and absolutely LOVES the Workout Twerkout playlist. He does okay when we leave the truck...

    Rivian Seizure

    So I think I figured out when this occurs, but still don't know why. After going through a touch-free carwash, 🥦 gets seizures and randomly sets off all the alarms, turns off Driver+, then goes back to normal in like a 5 second period. This happens 3-4 times for my 30 minute drive home. Has...
