  1. Excessive parking brake disengagement noise

    Last few weeks, we have had snow and rainy weather- ie just a lot of water. I have been noticing that every morning, when I engage reverse to pull out of the garage, there is a loud metallic noise akin to the parking brakes disengaging. The first few times, I thought it was just the moisture...
  2. Front tires slipping/skipping on full lock

    I have been noticing that when I am at full lock (parking lots, going around traffic circles etc), the front tires seem to slip. It happens on dry but certainly more on wet roads. I have about 13K miles on the tires (22" bright) and they seem fine - no signs of excess wear. The tire pressures...
  3. R1S amplifier replaced by Rivian TSB. Anyone else have that done?

    I had my R1S in for service for a set of trim/nuisance issues and Rivian added a "amplifier replacement" item to the work order. Service rep could not tell me what it was but said that my VIN had this TSB associated with it. Prior to the service, I had no audio issues and I would listen to...
  4. BGE and getting EV TOU rates for Rivian chargers

    Any ideas on how to force BGE to add Rivian to their list of approved chargers so that customers can qualify for rebates and lower EV charging rates? They have a handful of EVSE chargers and car manufacturers on their approved list but alas, Rivian isn't. Calls to their customer service or...
  5. Has AC become worse (louder) after 2023.22.0?

    My R1S' AC sounds a lot worse now with the latest SW upgrade than previously. The AC was OK previously, a few incidents of the loud fan that a stop and start of the AC would rectify. Now, every start of the car begins with my fans making a racket that gets progressively worse (like a plane...

    I need to get my Rivian EVSE installed and in need of a good electrician to do this. My electrical panel is at the opposite end of my house from my garage so its going to be an adventure (pun not intended). So if you have any contacts to share, please do as I need to get a couple of quotes and...

  8. States that require spare tire for new vehicles sold - how is Rivian complying?

    Some states require a spare to be included such as Maryland (https://govt.westlaw.com/mdc/Document/N950C8D90957E11DFB69DFF2602E6B930?viewType=FullText&originationContext=documenttoc&transitionType=CategoryPageItem&contextData=(sc.Default)) Is Rivian including spares for vehicles sold in these...
  9. R1S ride comments - is this SW fixable or a fundamental issue that needs HW changes?

    I keep seeing comments about ride issues with R1S and how Rivian needs to "tune" it further. Comments seem to indicate that the shorter wheel base is the reason. However, what I am really curious about is what it means to "tune" the suspension to remove the kinks. I would expect that that...

  12. Who is building the motors?

    Any idea where these are being sourced from? I thought I read somewhere that these were Bosch built but can't find it. Ran across marketing material for Bosch's eaxle (https://www.bosch-mobility-solutions.com/en/solutions/power-electronics/eaxle/) which got me wondering if these are what Rivian...
  13. Compute capability

    Does anyone have insights into what Rivian is using to power their MCU and Driver+ modules and what embedded OS they built their UI on? As I read about the "laggy" behavior of the maps, I am starting to wonder if this is all SW (still being ironed out) or whether there is an underlying HW...
