  1. Drywall sheets? No problem. R1T can fit a bunch of 4x8 material with ease.

    It's wrapped under the sheets to the mount point on the bottom right. You have to remember to put the hook on and lay the strap under the first sheet and allow it to hang down as you get them all loaded. It's impossible to get through after you stack all the sheets in there. I used a ratchet...
  2. Drywall sheets? No problem. R1T can fit a bunch of 4x8 material with ease.

    I had my reservations about chucking a bunch of drywall into the back of the R1T but it handled 16 sheets (A little over 1000 lbs (70.4*16=1126.4) like it wasn't even back there. In the event you were worried about that Home Depot run, don't be.

    Wouldn't that be nice. No idea. With both of the old 12v batteries drained down to exactly 2.7V each, I have a hard time believing that they both died due to a "battery failure" in precisely the same way at once. If I had to wager, my money is on some bug in the HV to LV charging software...

    Update on the original issue. I had quite the Friday and I learned some things. First off, the Rivian mobile tech who came by was a pretty awesome person. If this guy wasn't absolutely relentless in attempting everything we could think of, my truck would probably be in the service center in...

    Double checked everything. It was closed up tight.
  6. Greatest fear came true this morning - The Brick

    I'm pretty certain everything was shut tight but that's a good suggestion to evaluate. I'll double check. No one has touched the truck save myself and the tech since it went kaput.

    Oh boy. I'm sorry to hear what happened to you and I really hope it doesn't happen to me. What was the process for remediation for you and how long have the steps taken thus far? Sounds like you're using future tense for the drivetrain and battery replacement....still ongoing?

    Right?! At minimum it allows you to open the frunk because I watched him do that and though I didn't test it, I bet you could open the doors. I'll ask about the latter when the tech comes back. Opening the doors is a big use case.

    The answer is "no". The technician put a jump pack on the cables and though the frunk opened, the vehicle did not boot from that point. There is some other procedure for a "hard reset" but after testing the batteries, the tech said there isn't a point because they aren't putting out sufficient...

    Well that's just weird. I totally believe you if that is a pic from the battery itself. I'll try to snag some pics of the existing "bad" batteries in my R1T when they pull them to put the question to bed 100%. Thank you for posting.

    I hear you. I tell people I'm a beta tester. I'm not butt hurt about the situation and I'm still a Rivian fanboy.....as long as they show up with some batteries in the next week or two. Cross fingers whatever it is turns out to be very uncommon.

    The Rivian tech stated lithium so just parroting what was told to me. They are pretty small so I wouldn’t assume a standard battery chemistry.

    and finally the jump points. The tow cover is held on by two plastic screws that seem like a quarter coin would be fine to unscrew. The jump cables are covered in black tape to prevent shorting and also attached to the jump cable cover so they pull out a bit when you pop the cover. A flat...

    The “ conduit” for the wiring is….interesting in many places. All of this is elements exposed. Could have done some more with shrink wrap but we’ll see how it holds up.

    those are the fasteners to keep the panels around the frunk attached

    Those are the low voltage batteries. Not exactly finding those at Autozone.
  17. Greatest fear came true this morning - The Brick

    Oh it’s a crazy ass lithium Rivian battery times two. It’s what is under the red covers in the pictures.
  18. Greatest fear came true this morning - The Brick

    According to the tech, the two 12v batteries are bad. They appeared to only be providing 2.5v when they are supposed to be providing 12.5v. That said, could be something in the charging system between the HV batteries and the LV batteries. Parts need to be ordered now. He also mentioned that...
  19. Greatest fear came true this morning - The Brick

    Well the service technician showed up without any low voltage batteries or parts whatsoever. He is going to try to jump the truck and revive it. This of course is only slightly helpful because although I could move it if he's successful, there is no way I can actually drive it anywhere and...
