I'm not too hip on the front end either. I tend to like the more aggressive look like the ICE trucks. I'm certainly not offended by my R1T, however. At the time, it was the only EV truck and it still hasn't been rivaled so I'm very happy with mine.
I did just get it back from having the front...
I noticed nothing. Apparently, the tech heard something when he test drove it after replacing the front shocks. They set up an appointment for a month later and said there was no danger of failure so off I went. Feb 10 they traded me for one of their loaners and got to work. Their diagnosis was...
My front drive unit is being replaced as I type this. No warning, no failure. Tech that replaced the front shocks said he heard something and wanted to see the truck back to diagnose. Now, I'm in a loaner until the end of next week. Easy peasy.
This topic has me wondering. I always have my phone and fob with me. Except the other day when I left with nothing but my phone. Most days my phone is in a pocket on the side of my right thigh and other days in my left front pocket. The fob is always in my rf pocket. On rare occasions it seems...
It's OK if you don't get it. Those of us who do are in need of all the power. Anything less is a VW bus.
To the point of the thread I suspect building a car is pretty complex. Probably not as easy to predict the completion date as printing business cards.
I'm the kind who loves the suspense.
I've assembled all of the equipment for a wheel and tire change - spare set of wheels and tires, jack pucks, jack, jackstands, lug nut tools, and even a nice, thick knee pad. There's a special spot to insert the puck and jack up the vehicle but no provision for a jackstand. wtf?
I'd like a big "Drag race" button to appear in the drive modes screen when you get to a genuine dragstrip and when you have activated it, pressed the brake and floored the skinny pedal the driver's screen goes blank and says "Prepare to launch like an 8-legged dog!"
I am very happy with the service I received here in Reno/Sparks. It really feels like they care. Telling me that they'd like to diagnose something that I didn't ask about and is not even potentially customer-pay is exemplary. Pizza is on me!
I see, now, that their service model is one of...
I like to reminisce every now and again. Even though I was single-digits old in the 70's, I fondly remember things that were going on when disco was popular. Tidbit: ABBA released their latest album "Voyage" in late 2021. Their previous album, "The Visitors," was available on 8-track. A 4 decade...
My God, man, I hadn't considered the ram wheel effect. Anyone have a set of McLaren Senna wheels lying around? Does enterprise have a few of those or am I thinking of avis?
Iirc, the Senna comes with a extra set or two of wheels/tires. Don't be holding out on me, Senna owners!
Thanks!
I got the call Friday afternoon that the new dampers arrived late Thursday and they were installed and the truck was ready for p/u. Happy! My man, Brian, was apologetic since their car wash was on the fritz so it was all dusty.
The tech said he heard something he didn't like from the...
1/21 update:
I called the rivian service mother ship yesterday morning and since it was MLK day/inauguration day my local SC was closed but a nice fellow scheduled a tow for 2:00 Wednesday. I received a message through the app telling me about my new appointment on 1/22 and to drop it off...
I'm jealous of you with your SC that's open on Saturday! I suspect mine will be dragged in tomorrow.
I am going to see if I can find the problem, myself. My weekends are usually spent on the ranch knocking projects off my ever-growing list but I was supposed to hook up a trailer, buy an rv 130...
I'm torn on the whole ADAS thing. I really like to use it on open highway situations which are quite infrequent for me. On the other hand, I'd like to trust it in bumper-to-bumper crap when my commute is going to be an extra half hour but, like the op points out, it can't be trusted to just...
There's something to be said about "having a guy." I like stop by the local SC with some donuts on occasion for a rotation, washer fluid, lube, whatever triviality just so when I grind up a piece of plastic on a rock or have a 10mm box-end wrench bounce off my windshield I "have a guy."
