Another eight months, anohter (#3) 12V battery replacement. SMH
This time at least it actually gave me some notice (Saturday) and I already had a SC appointment scheduled for Tuesday before my 60K mile warranty was up so that's a silver lining.
That said, at what point does it warrant a...
Has anyone with rock sliders/running boards have any experiece with the Glen Burnie, MD Service Center (SC)? I have an appointment for Tuesday and tried to be as proactive as I could to find out their policy with removing vs not removing my rock sliders/running boards and sent them the...
58,714 miles on 22" Michelins now and my best estimate is 99% of them have been driven in Sport mode, lowest ride height, maximum brake regen, stiffest suspension. Sure, it's mostly highway miles but there's plenty of country road bumps and potholes too.
The only time I put it in All Purpose...
Unless the cost went down in the last 2 years, according to my SC invoice, it would have cost me $900 for my 2023 Gen 1 R1S, if not under warranty and then another $200 for the tow.
Nothing? Really? Well, in the 40+ years that I've owned 18+ vehicles (Fords, Lincolns, Audis, Porsche, Cadilac), I've never spent more than $300 for a 12V battery, never had one fail w/o notice, never had one last less than 3 years, never had any problems getting into the vehicle when it was...
It's is just 2 doors but the 5 seat SUV kit has multiple configurations including one that's open like a Jeep Wrangler but yeah not the most convenient.
Actually, best reply you've made so far. Thanks for sharing.
Unfortunately, though, disabling the privacy features via the infotationment display does NOT disable sharing your location data with Rivian per the note on page 413 of the R1S Owner's Guide which also is displayed on the Data &...
Must be AI generated video, since there's no possible way to develop an infotainment system that "controls the user experience" while cleanly integrating Android Auto/Apple Car Play and allows the users to customize their display. Oh, that's right. My wife's ICE Cayenne already has that. SMH...
Apparently, you didn't get the sarcasm and point of my reply which was protecting your private location data is not a placebo anymore than protecting any of your other PII.
Well yes it is the best due in large part to its crowd sourced traffic and alerts but apparently you don't understand the concept of providing data anonymously which I clearly pointed out in my last reply.
Also, apparently you don't understand the concepts of YOU controlling the information...
Yeah personal security is so useless. What's your address again? I assume you leave your doors and windows unlocked since you don't believe in personal security. While you're at it, feel free to post all your accounts with passwords which are also just a placebo. SMH
That hot take aside...
Like I said, consumers shouldn't have to choose keeping their location data private or buying an EV.
And without rehashing the whole previous thread where this was discussed, Rivian's privacy policy has been revised on more than one occasion since we pre-ordered, but that was not the topic of...
Reminds me of a few quotes...
"Wrong does not cease to be wrong because the majority share in it." - Tolstoy
"All truth passes through three stages: First, it is ridiculed. Second, it is violently opposed. Third, it is accepted as being self-evident." - Schopenhauer
"The further a society...
There are plenty of other more recent vehicles that don't report your location in real time. I own 3 other ones.
Again, you shouldn't have to give up your private data when buying ANY product.
Counting down until I trade in my R1S for my Scout Terra; hopefully, it will be much easier to...
Well, hoping that the pendulum starts to swing back in the consumer-protection direction as manufacturers like Scout and Slate hopefully succeed w/ their retro and DIY designs. Time will tell.
Looking at previous threads, it doesnt' look like at least the antenna was meant to be disconnected...
Well, if it requires a glue gun and knife to disconnect an antenna, then no thanks anyway.
As far as funcitoning, why wouldn't it function? Sure. OTA updates would be disabled but TBH Gen 1 OTA updates have been tapering off all year and it's the only vehicle that I've ever owned that even...
