  1. Best Windshield Rock Chip Repair Kit

    Looks similar to mine (starburst). Safelite told me they'd need to replace the windshield, which is an issue since they can't get the part (yet). Also requires recalibration at SC. Certified Collision center wants $2900, which includes towing to/from SC. I stabilized the crack using a...
  2. Road Trip Planning

    Agree with the ABRP/Plugshare combo. Also recommend going to specific charging app (EA, EVGO, etc) and verify current availability. I've found it's a bit challenging locating reliable hotel charging. With so many EVs, and frequent unreliability of charging locations, we have a lot of room...
  3. What do we think a new tailgate costs?

    Got tail whacked by a delivery truck.. fortunately cameras recorded the guilty hit/run party. Thanks for all the info, trying to figure out what to do.
  4. Looking for some advice on a home charging error

    My hardwired homeflex suddenly stopped charging a couple days ago (after over a year of use). 30min on the phone with ChargePoint without fixing (resets, lowering amps etc). Ended up installing a 14-50 outlet late at night, used a $200 40amp charger without issue. Interesting that the 14-50...
  5. Wind Noise

    For the front side window: had success taking off the vertical trim piece, removing the random glue spots. Filled the void with black silicne and reattached the trim. This helped much more than the 2x they replaced the triangle glass/trim. Still dealing with noise r/t front door seal, seems...
  6. Another day, another water issue - water in the door?

    Learned last week during a mobile service that the doors are designed to allow water to drain..and sometimes the drains get plugged up. I noticed the bottom of my door (with panel removed) was wet on the bottom. If you're hearing sloshing, maybe you can find those plugs without having to...
  7. Adaptive cruise control uses brakes to regulate distance to next vehicle

    Another issue with using the brakes (as opposed to coasting) is the ACC not taking into consideration the vehicles behind you.. but that's a generalized problem with most ACC's. Does anyone know if the brake lights come on when letting off the accelerator/ coasting during normal operation?
  8. Stock R1T Windows UV/IR specs measured prior to tinting (VLT, UVR, IRR numbers)

    I changed to Evolve on the sides, and notice the hue you're talking about. Went to their mid-product CIR for the windshield and definitely has LAH, but not as much as the Evolve. As far as the top/back can't do with the device, like mentioned above it has to measure both sides. I put some...
  9. Stock R1T Windows UV/IR specs measured prior to tinting (VLT, UVR, IRR numbers)

    I apologize if that's confusing. I attached a reference sheet. Overall decent stock IRR. I have noticed a huge difference in my windshield (70% VLT with ceramic). Windshield was replaced (mis-installed?), and going back to stock sucked. However, I went to a mid ceramic 2nd time and there...
  10. Stock R1T Windows UV/IR specs measured prior to tinting (VLT, UVR, IRR numbers)

    For anyone interested, I measured the front and rear passenger windows prior to tinting. Front doors stock: VLT 80%, UVR 100%, IRR 77.4 Rear doors: VLT 20%, UVR 97.4, IRR 92.2. 25% Front matches up to the rear stock window well. Ended up re-tinting/darker to block out the gawkers. Hope...
  11. Products for interior/exterior cleaning?

    Checkout "Pan the Organizer" on YT. Went with the Adam's graphene (middle grade) coating, which was really easy to apply once the prep was done. Cleaning: use a foam gun. Drying: I found using a drying agent is key for reducing swirls etc. It also helps by adding SiO2 protection on top...
  12. Fan noise

    I understand there's some battery management needed, and also that the compressor RPM issue has been addressed from early deliveries, but I haven't heard anything like that while charging. It does get really hot charging 48A, so much that I've added a HVAC unit to the garage. Hindsight a...
  13. wind noise

    FWIW, I fixed the window noise by applying black silicone (Permatex 85118). Then I had the trim piece (piano key) replaced, which resulted in another weatherstrip getting torn, and back to lots of noise.
  14. No plates, Day 12 using rental car.

    I'm 2 weeks into a rental. Hoping the rental expense motivates this process. If it doesn't, they have major issues to work out. What happened to our "1 point of contact (guide)"? No one seems to have ownership, whether it's service requests or the registration process. Absolutely zero...
  15. "Fun" experiment- aka how phone as a key fails

    Thanks for sharing. Good to know, and gives another reason I'll remember to carry an alternative key. Just noticed my key fob battery is < 3v, probably explains why it's been kind of meh. Good thing I won't need it in a couple days when my temp tag expires.
  16. Rivian R1T CV axle failure missed by service center

    Thanks for the time you spent making the video. Spent some time under the truck today investigating what I assume is the same rattle several others have experienced. The only thing I found that seems off is the driver's side plunge joint. There's definitely some looseness, especially...
  17. Florida Rivian Get Together - Boxi Park Orlando, FL 27 August 12-4(Whenever)

    Thx for organizing this. I'd come but I think my expired 90d temp tag won't go over well with FHP.
  18. 5 Tire Rotation, who's doing it?

    I can vouch for the EVS aluminum puck. Fast shipping, high quality. Still waiting on my spare/Jack so haven't compared, but needed a solution for changing a tire.
  19. Truck keeps locking & unlocking frustrations

    Check your vehicle settings. There was an updated proximity preference when at "home".
