My truck already has a ton of rattles in the trim. I am concerned that removing some clips is only going to make things worse.
Can we decline this procedure?
Rivian has had four attempts and can’t align my vehicle. At this point, I’d give anyone a try who isn’t Rivian, because they’re incompetent with their own product, IMO.
Extremely unlikely that will be possible. The manual cover is 4 pieces, so they'll be too wide to fit in that space. You can store them in the gear tunnel, but then you reduce what else you can put there.
I purchased the Wall EVSE in the same transaction as my R1T.
The window sticker (Monroney) does not list the EVSE or any other accessories I purchased at the same time.
The Purchase Summary and Purchase Agreement DO include the accessories, however. And when I went to register the vehicle I...
If it's already in the position you want to leave it disabled, Rivian should be able to disable remotely. I think they insist on sending a tech or force owners to come to a service center way too often for things that shouldn't actually require a physical touch.
Is it an advantage? I'm not so sure. Let's workshop this...
Option A: You drive 150 miles and see vehicle still has issues. Rivian agrees to keep vehicle and work on it. You now get to drive another 150 miles back home, without your truck, and look forward to driving another 150 miles back...
Everyone will not be happy.
Charging a customer to fix what was a defective design, under ”warranty“ is not acceptable. IANAL, but I am guessing there’s some issues with doing that, anyway.
Even if it is eventually fixed, for free, some people will have gone a year+ without use of a feature...
This is not the cause for most people. My truck has been to the SC multiple times for the CV shaft clunk and also had a mobile tech visit and I personally watched them remove the center caps and check the torque. They're "there" on my truck, and I still have the clunk.
1. Incredibly inconvenient and not always possible.
2. Doesn't actually fix most software issues, in my experience.
It does temporarily resolve some glitches due to poorly written software. That's the best it'll do, though.
the car doesn’t have to take/use all the current the EVSE “advertises”. The vehicle can connect to a 48A @ 240V capable EVSE and decide to only pull 500W if it wants. The EVSE simply sets the limit/cap — the vehicle chooses how much power to take.
A single *slow* DCFC in a vast charging desert in a high-traffic destination on a holiday weekend... I am NOT going to rely on that! And the fact that it's ChargePoint is a huge mark against it, anyway. I've had nothing but awful experience with ChargePoint.
