To all who shall see these presents, greetings!

Know ye, I shall no longer be posting manuals, pictures, etc, to assist with DIY repairs and service. Rivian has requested I delete all posts, pictures, etc of said manuals. As this will take time, I request the Rivian ๐Ÿ€ amongst us be patient as I work through past posts.

Very Respectfully,
Honorable Riviot

Stuff and things
As is the case with most things, one asshole ruins it for everyone. I remember the days of the Chilton manual, and you can still get the crash book for most vehicles. It's absolutely stupid that Rivian is so upset with people trying to fix their own cars, but I guess they want to burn cash and increase wait times.

I was going to try to fix the clip on my front bumper that's out from the recall service I had last week, but since Rivian is so opposed to us fixing our own cars I think I'll file a service ticket instead so they can waste more money sending someone out here.

Stuff like this makes me not want to keep this car outside the warranty period, and if that's going to be the case, I might not buy another one.

I've been in this camp for quite some time. 23 payments left.

Shame, because it's like a 95% great product.

It's funny because it's not even that, is just a "hey please take them down thaaanks."

I got similar messages for posting pictures of the Normal Factory, was kinda weird - as if they really don't want people seeing whats going on WHY PUT THE FACTORY BEHIND A FOUR STORY TALL GLASS WALL.

Rivian is so weird, and their 'secrecy' makes little sense - I'm not aware of any publicly listed company for whom the direct reports to the CEO is an industry secret.

Also they 100% read this site (even though they call it reddit) - HiYa Rivian Media Team!

That sucks, but thanks for the great content while it lasted.

Did they say what the penalty for leaving it up was? I'm guessing you didn't make the decision in a vacuum, but just curious if this was a "stop or we'll sue" or a "stop or we'll say stop again" kind of situation.

For those on the official Rivian corporate shit list, how did they contact you? Via forum DM or a 1984-like message on your center display?

Maybe the Halloween update doesnโ€™t work for them?
