  1. Bad day in Sedona -- R1S Recovery by Wild West Off-Road Recovery

    Roof damage and driver side 2nd row door damage suggests they must have hit the branches on that tree on the driver side with quite some force… vehicle seems to have no warning lights on the dash… so many oddities about this one… maybe driver didn’t pay attention for a moment and ran off the...
  2. I guess it was my turn… (R1T accident video). Diminished value claim advice?

    I agree. I’m not going to pursue the person. He was apologetic from the start. I don’t know his circumstances but assuming based on a few factors, they aren’t great. For DV and auxiliary expenses I’m going to focus on the insurance company. If I can’t get anything, then so be it. At least the...
  3. I guess it was my turn… (R1T accident video). Diminished value claim advice?

    Updated with repair estimate from certified Rivian repair shop (using Rivian OEM parts only - not that there are any 3rd party parts available anyway).
  4. (Buyer Beware) Don't Buy Your Rivian (Massive Day 1 Depreciation) - You're better off Leasing If You Can

    Honestly, I had the same experience. I bought mine when buying was the only option though. My latest trade-in estimate is 69500 USD with 7000 miles and about 1 year of age. That comes out to exactly 32.8% depreciation. It is quite aggressive... and if i did it again, I would definitely lease the...
  5. I guess it was my turn… (R1T accident video). Diminished value claim advice?

    UPDATE: The other guy was uninsured. After running plates/police report et cetera my insurance company just called me to tell me that. The way I understand it is that this leaves me without diminished value claim, since i could only legally hold him accountable myself for that. Which maybe I...
  6. I guess it was my turn… (R1T accident video). Diminished value claim advice?

    I actually picked that back up and put it back on. Apart from some rubbings and dirt on it, it is intact :)
  7. I guess it was my turn… (R1T accident video). Diminished value claim advice?

    6400 miles about, at time of incident. I’m not sure whether it will appear. I always thought this depends on the insurance filing and not the police report. The huge issue with repairs is the lack of certified Rivian shops. I’ve gone to now three reputable shops in my area over the past few...
  8. I guess it was my turn… (R1T accident video). Diminished value claim advice?

    Well, not really sure what more to say than the videos/pics already say. I was driving in the straight lane, and someone came out of the right turn lane, cutting me off to make a left turn. I hit the breaks but 8000lbs are hard to stop and hit him. Police concluded quickly that the guy was an...
  9. New R1S Dual Performance Max AT Range issues

    I don’t understand how people spend money on these cars without doing research upfront.
  10. Sound louder after SW update 2024.27.01

    I only listen to influencer podcasts with the equalizer set to “voice”. Volume level 4 is plenty. not sure who this “music” is you’re all talking about…
  11. Gen 1 Vampire Drain (Possibly) Solved (or Hacked)

    Can’t you theoretically attach the battery tender to the jumper cables by the hitch receiver instead of directly to the battery?
  12. New York Nitto Recon Grappler 275/65/20 set of 4

    But why? Any specific impacts or characteristics you did not see satisfied with the Nitto’s?
  13. New York Nitto Recon Grappler 275/65/20 set of 4

    I’m very curious why you are selling them? Mind enlightening us?
  14. Need tires, decision paralysis.

    I don't like influencers, but those were the two videos I watched that got me decided on the AT4W vs KO3. The bottom line is this isn't a one tire better vs the other situation. It purely depends on use case and for Southern California, the KO3s are the king. Now if you lived in Oregon or...
  15. Need tires, decision paralysis.

    How much time do you realistically have left to wait? Given everything you’re saying, I would recommend the KO3s (I myself have the AT4Ws). I’m giving you this recommendation independent of range impact - but with the KO3s in the 50lbs range you’ll be better off than my AT4Ws in the 60ls range...
  16. Tire Change - Forgot to do AT / Highest

    I went to Mavis Discount Tire, which is similar to Discount Tire. To avoid all the potential for problems, I literally told them to not use pucks at all and do it the old school way: I’ve had them remove the four covers below the frame rails and jack it up at the jack points on the frame...
  17. Tire Change - Forgot to do AT / Highest

    Yeah I definitely hadn’t done this either and my car has been driving normally. I don’t assume that recommendation is for functionality but more for safety. But let’s have someone with more knowledge chime in.
  18. Tire Change - Forgot to do AT / Highest

    That’s a lot of stuff to think about… I literally told my shop to just put it in tire change mode in the service menu and they got it done. what even are hub centric rings? And where does it say you should go to highest setting?
