Also, there’s an interesting loophole:
if you have more than one Rivian, the free charging gets applied to the last one you purchased or leased. You have to call in to have the charging switched to a different VIN. In my case, this is an employee of ours’ trucks, so I’m switching the free...
I had 4 pending when I found out about the change. One went through on Friday, and I still got another 6 months (and $500).
Apparently if you have any pending before the 11th, you should be good!
My FG G1 has been trying to look like California Dune lately with VT mud season:
On a more serious note: I suspect California Dune might be a great color to hide salt and mud. The one Limestone R1T in our town looked pretty clean all winter when I drove by it, which is a feat given all the salt...
I am inclined to agree that it may be a bad part (design or manufacturing spec), rather than just a bad batch, but I would think more people would be complaining if it was a widespread issue.
I didn't take my wheel off to look at my damper, but happened to notice it when I was swapping my...
Haha, "drove though some mud" basically describes driving on Vermont roads for a at least 4 months out of every year, combined. And we are in a particularly deep/intense mud season right now, so there's basically no point in washing my truck for the next couple weeks at least (that photo was a...
Wow! I have a very similar situation. My dampers were replaced 5/16/24 @ ~11k miles on a Demo truck that was delivered the month before (with just under 10k miles) due to leaky and clunky rear dampers.
I was swapping my wheels this weekend and noticed my left rear damper is leaking. I now have...
On the plus side, you can probably get the new V2 tonneau that is quieter, smoother, and surely must be a more durable design. You may have to do some arm twisting, but I imagine they would rather replace V1/V1.2 with V2 since replacement labor/logistics surely costs more than just recycling all...
That’s awesome! Can you modify existing Rivian UI, or just display CarPlay/AA? Also, do you have access to things like locking behavior, climate control, etc?
I ask about the latter two items because I have been begging for two features to anyone who will listen (mostly falling on deaf ears...
Bingo. I was about to explain… I had a loaner R1S and was a little irritated to find they’d slacked on this feature with the R1T after seeing how effective it is on the S. I get that it’s easier/cheaper since they already have plumbing back there for the rear wiper, but it just seems cheap to me...
I got my update mid day yesterday. The reverse throttle behavior is way smoother. Now I just need to install the rear camera washer line I’ve been meaning to get around to all winter so I can see where I’m going… that and/or some reverse lights that are actually sufficiently bright to see...
I have the same approach and similar experience with Chelsea, MA with our four R1Ts (all of which have needed various things, many in the case of the two 2022s).
I feel like I have a very good working relationship with the Chelsea team, and we honestly all seem to treat “the mothership” (as...
Yes please! We would buy 2 front and 2 rear bumpers if we could. I'm surprised you thought there would be more market for the cybertruck than Rivian. I see a lot more photos/videos of Rivian's out in the wild than cybertrucks, but maybe that's just because Rivian's have been out longer and...
Maybe it’s just luck, but neither my father’s 2022 Launch R1T (VIN 5852) or my later 2022 R1T (VIN10264) have ever had 12V issues. Perhaps it’s just a matter of time, but ours have been fine for 2+ years. We have had a whole host of things fail/need replacement, but honestly my goal is to have a...
According to comments on this Reddit post, it’s the rear defrost icon that activates it. Also a better visual on where the elements are. I happily stand corrected on that point!
Now, if that’s the case, I wish we could toggle rear defrost from the app ?
