Heads up to anyone else thinking of bringing their truck in to remove the wiggle-squeaks ... jounce lines are 2 weeks lead-time, best-case, right now. Mine is in for other non-catastrophic stuff I've been putting off, and I threw this into the ticket to get it taken care of.
If you get an...
After the .10 update landed, I was logged out of Tidal, but not Apple Music.
However, Apple Music refused to load any content. I was still, ostensibly, logged in - tried a soft reboot, didn't help. Once I force logged out (which took several minutes) and logged back in, it was fine.
Just FYI...
I'm one of the few that doesn't have a problem with the nav, since it's generally accurate. This is not to discuss generally UX complaints - instead, it's a specific calculation error.
However, I am planning a trip across Nevada, using only highway 50, so actual planning is key. Heading to GB...
<entitled sad noises>
Weird, because the last couple were pushed right when the rest of the herd here got theirs. Wonder what I have done to upset the distro gods.
I occasionally peruse local CL to see if anyone is selling Rivian bits of interest. Came across this gem:
https://sfbay.craigslist.org/nby/cto/d/napa-rivian-r1t-launch-edition/7826140087.html
While I can't say for certain it's a scam ... $35k for a mint '22 is either the deal of the century...
I think I've finally gone past the "damp cloth is fine" phase, as my OC driver seat is beginning starting to show signs of filth after 22k miles and a lot of camping/biking/surfing trips.
Personally kind of shocked it went this long before I noticed any discoloration.
Any product...
Just got the App notification that the update is ready. Need to head out for a few hours, but we'll see it tonight!
Here's to hoping my truck says HO HO HO in a few hours ...
At Rivian's request, I took a video of the noise I'm hearing when under regen braking, and turning right. I'm now able to replicate this pretty much every time I try, which is fairly alarming. I can also feel it in the dead pedal.
Take a listen, good sleuths of the Rivian Forums, and let me...
Was on a shakedown with a tech today after he performed some minor stuff on my truck (wind noise fixes), and during the drive, got a pretty horrible sound that he felt on the left dead-pedal (he was driving) when under regen deceleration into a right turn.
I've heard this before, but it...
I had been waiting for specific conditions to run a test on the new tires. Michelin LTX M/S2, 275/60/20. About 1500 miles on them now. Specifically looking for a low wind / low traffic daytime run - this is nontrivial in the Bay Area.
Conditions: about perfect for December. 60 degrees, sunny...
That's such a bizarre subject line to read.
Anyway - anyone else hearing their lock chirp happen twice, specifically when locking from the drop-down widget on iPhone?
Pull down, select lock, see lights on door handles turn on, then off, then on, then close and chirp. Then chirp again.
This...

Looks like the 116XL is new, and while it's not showing up in my area, must be s00n.
Interesting option for those looking for a less aggressive AT that's pretty good in snow.
Some info for those on the fence about going to all-seasons ...
I want to preface this by saying it's very much too early to draw long-term conclusions, but as expected, the Michelins are providing considerably better efficiency than the AT OE tires.
This is not a surprise at all. What -is-...
I've got 3 takeoff Pirelli AT 275/65/20 takeoffs (the 4th had an unrepairable hole). Great for spares
Tires were in good shape while on the truck as of this morning. One has a professional repaired patch.
Tire 1: vulcanized patch, 8.5/32 tread
Tire 2: 7.5/32
Tire 3: 7.5/32
Tires 2&3 were...
Looking for a set of 22" takeoffs with good remaining tread and TPMS still in them. Keeping my 20s for off-road use, and want a set of street tires for the vast majority of driving we do.
My wife prefers the brights, I prefer the darks, so either works out and I'll deal with the marital...
Just FYI - if you enable any of the Halloween modes, which are fun and I encourage you to do so, the truck stays on.
Not just for exterior lighting/etc - also runs climate and, presumably, other functions.
I only know this because my truck was toasty warm inside when I set off after 3 hours of...
Doing the annual audit of insurance and shopping around, and Geico came through with a quote that was half of Nationwide.
So naturally, I added the Rivian to the account (it already has the other cars on it), and went to cancel Nationwide.
This is when the rage set in. You cannot do it...
