Hey @Jabbahop, your report is very encouraging! Congrats, and thanks for the update 👍

You're citing old info.. this is 2026 and the battery recall campaign and the software/hardware fix is available... below is the official NHTSA status for my 2024 4xe. 68C is the battery recall, I had it performed back the spring of this year. FWIW- no dealer in the USA is allowed to sell a...

That's completely inaccurate, the 68C battery recall is available for every 4Xe ever made. I had mine done, my battery passed with flying colors and now I've got an unlimited miles unlimited age warranty on the battery for any of the recall issues. Hardly the disaster you're describing.

^ if it's EV rated you should be fine, also consider using ferules on the ends of the cables, it keeps the bundle nice and tight as the tension screw is clamping down on it.

Is there a "out of warranty" period on a customer satisfaction campaign? It could be a case where they will update every early R1 that needs it at no cost. I'd check with Rivian on that...

$500, just because it's a rich person's truck.... (I hope it comes under that though!)

You're a good friend @KBabione! That same storm ripped through Long Island later on Sat evening just as folks were setting off fireworks. It was a surreal sight because you had bright flashes and explosions from the fireworks coupled with thunder and lightning plus squall winds, breaking...

Sorry to see that, but at least it's a good candidate for PDR restoration.

I'll take the over at 26 on this thread too 😬

^ Ohhhhh so now you tell me 😆 Deleted...

R2 uses the "standard" type of CV Joint half shaft, should be trouble free.

Sounds like your troubles should be over! Best of luck going forward :)

Fisker gone, Polestar gone, Lucid on borrowed time.. not a good time for EV startups :( On the bright side.. Slate is on track for deliveries this year with it's ultra cheap EV truck/Fastback/SUV. Riding the low price $25K wave.. right time, right place??

Well he can afford to pay the $$$ premium that's for sure...

Hi Sid, great post! Is there anyone at Rivian you could send it to (in PDF form)? Sometimes I think they just keep rolling along ignoring issues. At least your post would give them well documented proof of real life vehicle problems their customer face and how that impacts potential future sales...

Didn't we have this exact same discussion back when the R1S came out? Exactly the same....

it would be fun to have one of those AI agents pretend like they're interested and drive the guy nuts with endless goofy questions and ridiculous offers..

Yeah, that tiny/narrow high pressure space saver is gonna dig in to the sand faster than a sand flea! If you got a flat on our sand, just drive out on it, then put on that bicycle tire once you hit pavement 😄

Maybe a good idea to list the repair costs so others might know what to expect, especially since there seems to be some differences in charges per SC location on common repairs.

Unless you've been screwed by arbitration previously, it's not really something most think about when purchasing a new vehicle. It's also not something Rivian or any other manufacturer advertise. You need to look for it and some don't make that easy...
