Infotainment, where is the spare, is there a spare, the seat got dislodged how is it supposed to be removed, camera settings, where the hell is the remote gas cap release, how do I reset the tire pressure warning, how do I setup the intercom assist for the third row, which usb ports in the van are linked to infotainment for CARPLAY....
I consider those all "how to use" not "how to fix".

For "How to fix" I think of a Haynes Manual or factory service manual.

Modern vehicle manuals are sometimes even leaving out how to do an oil change!

It's not necessarily "how to fix it" instructions, but if you understand components & how they work (sometimes together), you can often troubleshoot and resolve issues.

I also took this as a more general statement, not specific to vehicle owners manuals.
Actually, I was taking a shot at Rivian for not being more forth coming with information about the R1T. I'm hoping that once they ship the first unit, that Rivian will have the owners manual available online for future owners to read.

That and I'm a Dad, so Dad jokes are my kind of thing.

Totally agree on the Rivian info thing, and also on the Dad jokes.

My comment that you quoted was in response to the post by @CommodoreAmiga , not anything you said.

Jeremy,
I have a very important question for you, please take your time and consider it carefully...

Will you be my Rivian Guide?

Jeremy,

Will it be more or less work/frustrating than my side gig as IT manager for my parents?

"Dad, whats the password for this?" - "How should I know?"

"Now Son let me sit you down and tell you all about the latest Apple computer and why it is the greatest innovation since the last iPhone." - "Dad whats the difference between RAM and Local Hard Drive?"

In all seriousness, Many of the members of this forum have done an excellent job as early BEV adopter ambassadors. Helping us EV newcomers learn about ownership. I look forward to getting my LE R1 so I can share what I've learned and my enthusiasm for BEVs.
