    Snow performance check-in....focus on tires.

    Yes, I should have updated my post. The issue was found that my alignment was so off, the outside half of my rears were completely bald after 2k miles, which was about the time I was sliding in my post. I didnā€™t realize that until a week or two later when showing off the truck and it got pointed...

    Pettiest complaint: I hate the turn signals

    I love the sound of the turn signals. Others who have ridden in my truck notice and compliment them too. When I go back to my WRX or Forester, they sound like blown speakers from a kids toy now. No issues with canceling. Depends on your turn radius. My biggest gripe with the turn signals are...

    Intermittent Air Conditioning - Fixed

    Hijacking this further, how powerful are everyoneā€™s ventilated seats? I feel like mine barely pushes out air on level 3. I took a light screen polish cloth and put it on the back arch of the passenger seat and tried 1-3 and off. The cloth did poof up on level 3, but barely and I canā€™t feel air...

    Off-Road Tire Pressure?

    Whatā€™s everyoneā€™s thoughts on the 21sā€ and off roading and a pressure to lower to? I plan on a somewhat moderate trail; Iā€™d say maybe a 5/10 with a mixture of rocks. If anyone in Colorado is familiar, the off road trail to Fall River Reservoir. Right now they are at about 47-48PSI once warm.

    RAN Virginity Taken

    I used the first bay yesterday afternoon! First RAN experience for me too. Happy to see it was free. 30% to 85% in about 20 minutes. Max kW was about 200 or so. Bay 2 was red, but seems ok in this pic. Plugged in then walked around the mall. No one else was there but as I was leaving a Canon Red...

    Service Center Blowing smoke?

    So you tap climate, tap Rear on the left, and tap the foot and or face areas so it is off, it turns off everything up front too? That is wrong. I can tap off the rear's and the front still does what I want. The rears do turn on automatically for whatever reason when I get in, but turning off the...

    How are people using their Hotspot?

    I used it once to tailgate. Turned it on, connected an Apple TV and streamed hockey. Worked flawlessly (with a later gen Apple TV) except the truck would sleep and the hotspot would disconnect.

    Official Software Spotlight: Rivian Drive Cam

    The two <2 minute clips I did show up on the dash. Odd you would have to transfer the full drives just to watch.

    Official Software Spotlight: Rivian Drive Cam

    Mine hasnā€™t recorded while just drive. It is supposed to do that, correct? Everything turned on and the drive was properly formatted. Did a soft reset. 2 minute clips record though when I tap the icon to start.

    Random Bluetooth connection to Rivian Camp Speaker

    This happened to me too after my last SC visit. It did it for about a day to day and a half. Restarting my phone and disconnecting the camp speaker from my iPhone's bluetooth list didn't work. It eventually stopped... I don't recall why. I did force quit the Music app on my iPhone and that...

    Service center visits - poll for 2023 owners

    I had 3. I wonā€™t count what I needed done when I picked up my truck (an error saving seat position when doing my walk through) which took 5 minutes to fix. 3 tries to fix the alignment/steering wheel which caused premature tire wear and a panel gap issue and creaky door. Iā€™ve got threads and...

    Alignment, hitting bumps, and off center steering wheel

    Picked up my truck this evening and it is now perfect. The SC got my steering wheel centered and it is tracking as straight as ever. They said the alignment was so out of whack, that the alignment machine didnā€™t even detect the truck was on it. The chalked it up to the system not being tuned...

    Alignment, hitting bumps, and off center steering wheel

    3rd visit update: rear tires are bing replaced. They wonā€™t replace the fronts that have half the original tread because it has even wearā€¦ Iā€™ve asked for an official tread measurement but when I did it, I came up with 4mm when new has 8mm. Trying to fight it, but I may just have to go through...

    Gap on molding near tailgate

    Interesting. Yea, it could be a clip like you mentioned. Also, this isnā€™t just the right. The left is the same way. Though the right side seems more flush in a spot. Hard to tell in a still picture. Easier to see when moving slightly. Here left and right. Left seems to have a tiny gap nearly the...

    Gap on molding near tailgate

    I noticed this recently and wondered if others look similar and if this is normal or if I need to add it to my list for my next service visit. Essentially the molding around the truck gaps out near the tailgate. Here are pictures of it butt-up against the side, but then it starts to gap near the...

    21" AS wheels on gnarly mud, ice, and snow towing 2 snowmobiles -- tires performed very well!

    Opposite experiences and opinion for me on my 21ā€, but I am believing more that it is due to bad alignments causing my tires to get prematurely bald. Does anyone have what the tread depth should be for the 21ā€s if they are brand new?

    Alignment, hitting bumps, and off center steering wheel

    I had a feeling it could be an even deeper issue. My 2nd alignment I was told the lead tech did the alignment and did a training day with every one. Thatā€™s worrisome if this got worse on the second try. How did you get this roaming expert in house for you?

    Alignment, hitting bumps, and off center steering wheel

    Update 4/6: While showing off my truck to a few coworkers, one noticed my rear tires are half bald. 2,400 miles on it. 2 alignments. This could be my issue with the off center wheel, drifting, 0 traction on just a tiny amount of snow and slush, and violent shaking side to side hitting bumps...
