The title of this thread is sort of deceptive. Based on what I saw, the CV joint isn't failing. There is a failure by the service techs and maybe the supplier. The way the title reads it makes it sound as if there was a catastrophic failure of the CV joint, which does not appear to be the case.

I am not someone who usually tempts fate, but today I closed my tonneau cover after leaving it open since taking delivery and then also opened it in the same day. It worked both times so I'm just going to call it a win and not touch it or look at it again for a few weeks.

I saw those chargers and thought about going there since all my DCFC charging experience was with EA to that point, but I wanted something more on my route so I let the Rivian nav plan the charge and route. I've had some issues now with EA too so it's not exactly foolproof.

Did my first Charleston to Greenville run last night in the R1T. Pretty ideal conditions, got 2.34 mi/kwh in Conserve with cruise set at 73 for 85kwh used. Driver + for nearly the whole drive. I'll be interested to see what the difference is going back.

ALL HAIL MA DUECE!

If only there was a driving mode that was designed for a wide range of purposes that provides comfort while still being sporty. You could go so far as to say it addresses "all purposes"

Enduro is what Rivian has named the in-house developed and manufactured motors that will be the primary drive unit for all vehicles going forward. The current R1 vehicles use Bosch motors that were designed to spec, so these Enduro motors will replace them eventually on all vehicles. Following...

Can get a R1T Adventure Dual/Large for about the same price as a Lariat Extended Range. Dual motor Large Battery R1T probably is a solid 1:1 comparison for the extended range Lightning. Similarly a stripped down R1T (Explore dual/standard) is right there with the XLT. I think that's a pretty...

I never charged L1 prior to the update, but I'm getting ~2kw on a standard 15a wall outlet which is coming out to 2.5 miles of range gained per hour of charge. Still not something you want to rely on, but better than what others were reporting. Getting 25 miles of range overnight is at least...

Two things that make me laugh in the replies, one is the people complaining about tires as if it matters. The Rivian is more powerful, heavier, and has a better power application. It's going to smoke the Ford on any surface with any tires. The funnier thing is the people saying a Model X Plaid...

Center caps from Amazon, painted with yellow rattle can, with white metallic Rivian vinyl sticker from @twraps. This is sort of a proof of concept, I'll probably go back and do the same process but with a higher quality/better paint job and try to color match the calipers as closely as possible...

I was in Charlotte yesterday and a RAN station was sorely needed. The fast charging situation in CLT is underwhelming at best. Needed to DCFC to get from IKEA to home in Charleston (about 200 miles). Used Rivian nav to find a DCFC station on the route(ish), an EVgo station that Rivian had as up...

Just drove from Greenville to CLT on I 85. Used 24% SoC on a 90 mile drive, conserve mode with an average speed between 60 and 65. 2.9mi per kwh

This point is one of the reasons I take all the Rivian v Lightning stuff with a grain of salt right now. Rivian has already showed that they can iterate on software much faster than traditional OEMs. They may be close now, but it's unlikely to stay that way.

The dude has a pretty good sense of humor that's for sure.

This seems like it should be an easy fix. If truck is locked, no key is present, and no occupancy sensors are tripped the alarm sounds and screen is locked if a door is opened until an unlock command is sent via key or phone. Thats a pretty simple logic chain to follow for programming In...

Speaking of Charging apps...is Chargepoint's app/online interface just generally terrible or is it just me? I am staying at a hotel with chargepoint chargers so I downloaded the app and linked it to my Rivian account and added my credit card for payment. I used the tap to charge function on...

It is a long term parking garage, but noted. I was more wondering from a battery health perspective if it's better to be left to sit unplugged for 10 days or plugged in to L2 charging.

Question for the group: Going on a 10 dayish trip out of town soon, likely driving my R1T and leaving it parked for 10 days. The garage that I'm looking at parking it has 6kw chargers at it. On a 10 day sit, the recommendation would be to leave it plugged into one of those chargers right?

I'd be shocked if it didn't ramp much faster since the vans should be much easier to manufacture and have less parts. It sounded in the interviews like the charging and service infrastructure at the actual delivery centers is currently a choke point for how many vans can be delivered and where...
