Just thought to check the forum for this today. I had my R1S in for service and brought this up. Sounds like driver front suspension on mine … just like a bad/loose strut mount. Tech drove it with me and claimed it was normal but would check everything when he did the other work. Still there … 🤦🏽‍♂️

Just noticed this today (day 6?) … the climate controls are greyed out if the vehicle is plugged in to the charger … in the winter that’s exactly when I want to be able to turn it on 🤷🏽‍♂️

The checksum is in position 9 of the VIN - it's set based on the value of the 10th - 17th position (year, plant and then 6 digits for serial place in production for that model/config). There could be a 3500th R1T LE and a 3500th R1S and even a 3500th R1T with dual-motor (not the LE Quad Motor)...

My El Cap/BM, LE R1S w 22” went from Jun/Jul to Oct-Dec … I find the 2 reasons given sort of suspect. 1 - What combination would be “easier”? 2 - My local service center is delivering R1T 5 hours away already, I’m and hour and a half.

This is getting ridiculous … “if you think you know, it may or may not be the same, you’ll have to wait to find out, maybe … and if you never knew, welcome to the club, we can’t tell you either”. I get that it’s hard, but all the more reason they need a little more competence in their PR and CX...

Yeah, there’s a post on this. Other digits will also be different for R1S, EDV or other differences like quad vs dual motor, so the last digits could repeat on other models (for instance there will be a 000001 for both the LE T and LE S, and there will be a 000001 for the first dual motor...

El Cap, Black Mountain, 22”

Just to throw out another scenario - I’m a Dec 2019 R1S LE preorder. I’m supposedly a June/July delivery (although I hadn’t had any guide contact). I got the same email on Monday and interestingly my account now showed a guide (which wasn’t there Sunday and hasn’t reached out yet) 🤷🏽‍♂️ maybe...

.. except that there have to be a ton of R1S LE preorder that had already requested any combination they could have available, or an LE order-holder that was willing to switch before they’d get further down on the list to soliciting a change from a non-LE … congrats if some stars and moons...

I don’t mean to be “that” guy, but in my experience “bricked” was always a term reserved for a situation where an electronic device was permanently disabled (usually due to a failed firmware update that could not be restarted and finished). Sometimes these could be repaired by replacing some...

OK, not exactly Rivian related, but damn if this color isn’t REALLY close to the Limestone R1T I saw in Denver (this is the Edison Future EF1-T)

Coolant is probably shared by the battery, motors, electronics and interior heater-core is probably like a G-48 ethylene-glycol (used in Tesla and a lot of modern ICE vehicles) and is sold under a bunch of brands. Drive units are probably something like ATF fluid since there’s no differential...

I don’t think an MSDS is required for a completed product (like a car). It would be required for a specific chemical that is in the car. For instance if you know the product name of the coolant or the gear oil and who makes them, each of those would have an MSDS. If you knew the right person who...

I don’t hate the tailgate, but the rest is a bit cheesy. But hey, at least they have theirs so I can’t judge. LOL

The offset really isn’t a function of the caliper it’s where the barrel is going to be centered in the wheel well. Too much offset and you may rub the inside on the suspension or steering at full articulation. Too little (or negative) offset and your steering center will not be in the right part...

Funny - I think there were 2 Limestone @ Denver yesterday. This was getting unloaded earlier and then it sounded like they realized it was for another location and it was reloaded and left. I tried to get the LA Silver and El Cap in the background for reference and a closeup of the “mica” flake...

Is there a heating element at the base of the windshield like in the Tesla? Nice in the snow/ice of the northeast.

Can two phones connect to BT at the same time? My BMW allows one to connect for media and the other for phone calls. Handy if you’re on the road a lot for work and have 2 phones.

Just curious - how did you determine it was capacitive?
