Both of my front CV joints on my 2023 R1T failed at 30K miles. Replaced under warranty. Never did find out why they failed. I have had several boots fail on my Subarus over the years around 80K miles. I must be very unlucky with CV boots.

I had mobile service come to the house 4 days ago to repair the tunnel door emergency escape switch that has failed. The technician did not have the required part (not sure why he came to the house) but as part of his visit he did a Quick inspection involving a look under and around the...

Everything gets tossed in until it's full. Clean it out every 6 months and you will be amazed at what you find. It's like Christmas and a birthday twice a year. Now you know what the inside of my truck looks like everyday.

I removed my 21" Pirelli's last April with 24K miles. Still had life but wanted to try my 21" Michelin Defenders. Average mileage on the Pirellis was 2.5 miles/KwH. 7K miles on the Michelins and average is 2.49. I drive the same roads using the same driving technique for 95% of the milage.

I have experienced bluetooth skipping when playing music using Spotify. It's been a problem for about 8 months or so. I took it to SC earlier this past summer and they told me they could not duplicate the problem. As soon as I drove away it did it. I don't experience this problem with any...

You can't be the target of crypto scammers if you don't own it or trade it. And if you do then you should know how volatile and risky it is before you get in. I would say that there are plenty of players in this country that have offered crypto coins to lots of people with a promise of huge...

I installed Michelin X-Ice on a separate set 20 inch wheels 2 years ago. They are a game changer in real snow, which I live with for 6 months of the year in the mountains of Utah. I drive in Snow conditions almost every week and it ranges from flurries to a foot an hour dumps. I bought them...

Maybe there are weather conditions in which no one should be driving. When it gets that bad it would be wise to stop and wait. In some states that decision is made for you because they close the highways with big metal gates across all the lanes.

You probably will not need AC, especially at night. More likely you will need heat. You will be bear proof inside your Rivian, just don't keep any food in the vehicle, use the food lockers. If you can stay in a camp site with electrical hook ups you will be able to use heat and electrical...

Camp where you want. Better to ask for forgiveness than to ask for permission. If you have your stove, cooking equipment set up, and camp chairs set out no one, but a real jerk camp host, is going to say anything. And even then they might just say you have to leave. But if YOU are not the...

I go through a car wash at least 3 to 4 times a week so I know my sensors are clean most of the time. I drive several times a week on I-80 between Park City and Salt Lake city. It's a very windy 70 MPH road. If I pass a big truck on the left and the road is curving to the left I will always...

I have had this issue from day one. Two years of driving and I have learned to turn Cruise control off when there are lots of slow trucks in the right lane and I'm passing on the left. It's has been referred to as Phantom braking on this forum so you might search that topic. I keep hoping...

Is there enough demand for 21s. I thought Rivian was going to discontinue offering that size plus there are only 2 tire choices, that I know of, in the 21 inch size. I have 21s but plan to transition to 20 inch soon so I will have more choice in tires.

with the advent of emojis the art of reading between the lines has been sort of lost. I don't know emoji speak but should probably learn it.

right back atcha.

Of course they are, why not !!

I have been driving my R1T for 2 years and I have backed into my Garage door twice. I covered the dents in my tailgate with the Rivian tailgate bike pad so no one can see the dents. It's a very easy and inexpensive repair. The garage door was repaired, twice, with a stiff kick on the outside...

For the last 54 years I have had a form of self driving car from my 63 VW bug to include every one of my 50 or so cars that I have owned over the years. I use my left knee pushed up into the steering wheel to steer while doing everything from eating on the go to changing clothes while...
