? Wow! I guess I wasn’t looking closely enough, and was looking for a larger orange “patch” (or thicker strip) like I’ve had on previous cars. I take back my grumbling on that lack of hardware, though I think they should make it an obvious item to turn on/off, or at least clearly state...

That's a good idea. I will probably still just try (and almost certainly faile) to remember to put it in Wiper Service mode every time I park, and continue whining in the hopes that someone will hear me and include both heating elements under the wipers and heated headlights for Gen 3. Not...

This is true—my New England ignorance is showing! I have traveled around California a bit, but not enough to experience the snowier bits. I still doubt there's as much freeze/thaw/slush as winters seem to be in VT increasingly. At least when I was a kid, it was generally colder and drier, so...

Yeah, I actually try not to buy things from them either. It was just the quickest link I found to show the tool, not so much the source. The best part about this tool is that it has these foam blades that wrap 360º around the paddle end so you can use various differently shaped edges to get in...

My father’s 2022 Launch R1T (VIN5852) just got back yesterday from the SC for the same issue, though his was bad enough that we would observe it cycling the compressor and adjusting itself multiple times in a 10-15 minute period (if we were near enough to his “sleeping” truck to see/hear it)...

If you have nothing in the bed, and you don’t mind clearing a little snow out of the bed, open has the benefit of your tonneau not icing over/jamming. I always leave it closed, and just deal with the fact that I often can’t open my Tonneau in the winter due to it being iced up ??‍♂️ Closed is...

There are seals, internally, as pointed out by the mobile tech (he texted me this photo as we were discussing the upcoming second repair attempt since the first failed the next morning). While they are sealed, it seems like a poor location to have such tiny wires so exposed without more...

It’s mid repair. You can’t really see from the photo, but the harness clips into that hole. edit: I looked back and you can see the clip, where it goes, and then the fender plastic liner nut/stud you are referring to which must have been off in the second photo (due to it being mid repair I guess):

Yup! I was shocked at how poorly “protected” this sensor and its connection to the harness is. The mobile tech who found the issue agreed, and after splicing every wire to a new plug (the original had multiple corroded wires, with one totally broken off of its pin inside the plug), I asked that...

After having to repeat my issues far too many times, if I can help it, I basically don’t even bother with Roadside Assistance or normal 855RIVIAN5 CS people (what I’ve taken to sarcastically referring to as people from “the mothership” when talking to the SC staff). They are almost always nice...

I haven’t purchased a Rivian since the referral program existed, but I believe there is a place to enter the code when you put the deposit down. Or you should be able to follow the link I posted (if you want to use my code). I’d be happy to answer other questions about the purchase process (we...

It gives you (the person purchasing the vehicle) and the person who’s referral code you use (an existing Rivian owner) $750 to use in the gear shop and 6 months of free Rivian Adventure Network charging. Basically a win win! I believe it drops to $500 of gear shop credit after the new year...

I agree! I have nostalgic memories of falling asleep to all the city sounds whenever I’d visit my grandma in her 10th floor pre-war (on 93rd and Amsterdam—an avenue with plenty of activity all through the night). The sounds of vehicles and life at all hours both fascinated me (especially coming...

I’ve been having a bit of FOMO as I read about these Toyos and the great range they seem to get…. But in every other respect, the Nokian Outpost nAT set I put on a few months ago has been fantastic—way quieter than stock 20s, better traction in all contexts I came across (especially mud and...

I also noticed this, but a hard reset did not fix mine. I may try another tomorrow. I’m pretty sure the power indicators were working for a few days after 2024.47, but then stopped randomly on a trip on Sunday.

When a little snow that looks/feels like sand falls on sand that looks like snow—I guess you draw on it! Unfortunately the mother of my child won’t let me drift/blow donuts with her in the car ? (our son calls them “weees!”—as in, “daddy, go weeees, fast!” Indicating his desire for a little...

This happened to me on the last update. My father (non C+ subscriber) got it before me (a subscriber). I have his truck on my app, which added a little salt to the wound (and the two C+ subscribed employee trucks I also have in my app got theirs before either of us ?).

When mine is being sluggish, I find that knocking the door handle a couple times with my knuckle often wakes it up and unlocks ??‍♂️

I got mine in May when the store first opened up. As a business purchase, it was eligible for the $7500 EV tax credit as well as $2200 from our Utility for being a “new” EV, which made it worthwhile at the time. Used prices have come down a bit since then (they were just coming down into the...

I was too! I asked several times since we’re 3+ hours away from the SC depending on Boston traffic. That was the answer until they completely botched a bunch of work on my truck and it failed the first time I went to use it right in front of the guy who’d driven my truck two hours to meet me in...
