    Rivian Service dented my car! 😳

    That's why it's imperative that you the owner, take lots of detailed, hi-res photos of your vehicle after you drive it to the Rivian SC. Also, make sure you can see by the photos your vehicle is in the SC so there is no wiggle room for Rivian to try to say the photos were taken earlier than the...

    Rivian Service turned off gear guard and left it off

    If Rivian places the vehicle in "Service Mode" that disables all cams. When you get your vehicle back, if it is still in Service Mode you will see a bright yellow 1/2" high banner all the way across the top of your main display noting the vehicle is in Service Mode and that certain features are...

    How low can you go (remaining range)?

    At a certain point, the Bolt stops displaying remaining range and starts throwing up all sorts of urgent messages, then it goes in to turtle mode... then it just dies if you continue driving it. The good news with the Bolt is you can tow-charge it to get some range back with no damage to the...

    How low can you go (remaining range)?

    A friend tried that with his Bolt... but no downhill in his case. He ended up getting towed less than a mile to his house :mad:

    XM Radio coming when?

    The thing is, if you go with the basic "streaming only" package from SXM it's (IIRC) only $5.99/month and you can stream it to you PC and phone (which you connect via BT to our Rivian's). As soon as you tell SXM it's specifically going to a vehicle they try to double the monthly rate. Let's hope...

    Goodbye for now...

    My first thought when looking inside was that it's super long/low profile screen would be great for watching those ultra-wide screen CinemaScope movies they made in the 50's and 60's.

    Goodbye for now...

    Best wishes with the iX @TheRivian ! A friend got one about a month ago and loves it, he also got killer incentives from BMW and the local dealer when he ordered it back in Jan.

    Rivian Solar Charging

    With the current state of the art low efficiency solar panels we have available, you need to compensate with a super high efficient EV... and sadly that is where Rivian comes in almost dead last among all EV's made. The Aptera probably gets 10+ miles/kWh whereas our 7K lb Rivian's only manage to...

    Brake Failure and Axle Boot Tear

    I haven't looked at the master cylinder of my R1T, but since the 1960's or earlier most automobile brake (not break) systems have employed dual reservoir master cylinders to prevent a rupture on any on brake line emptying the system of fluid thus still providing brakes to at least two wheels. In...

    Heavy Tailgate

    One disadvantage of those same gooseneck hinges are situations when you need to load heavy items like 80lb bags of concrete all the way across that extended tailgate and land them into the bed :swear:

    It's a crap design, but at least it wasn't your Disconnect Unit going bad!
