Worst truck ever. Bib fails and your done. No heat. No power just hours of beeping in a winter storm for 5 hrs.

Fantastic post. I learned a
Fantastic post. I learned a lot.
If your into a truck that beeps for hours this one is definitely for you. I am just promoting the wonderful beeping sound. Its very consistent. The lack of heat in freezing temperatures is another great fail safe feature that allows you to not stay warm and comfy. Was this truck built by Americans the quality shows. Lol

They replaced the BIB but tried to charge me $1800 for towing when its only got 40k km on it.
Reliability is 2 out of 5,
Talking to American service reps trying to send me to Richmond Virginia not Richmond BC and calling Richmond BC Vancouver but is it Vancouver Washington? Is Annoying.

My guess is a 12v battery issue....my symptoms were similar and had to be towed.

A gasoline vehicle where the gasoline engine has failed also has no heat.

Yes, getting stuck in that situation in any vehicle is terrible. And I'm not sure what the failure here is, hopefully Rivian can figure it out quickly.

But you just joined the forum, and your only interaction is a not very detailed complaint. You're not going to get good reactions here from that.

I understand you wound up in a bad situation and are (rightfully) pretty salty about it. Not sure what you are trying to achieve here though. This is a Rivian forum and most here are Rivian fans. However, this site is not owned or run by Rivian. You are taking your frustration out on the wrong people.

Is it just me, or are we seeing more of these posts where people join the community just to post something negative immediately?

I don't want to speculate, maybe it's the old "happy owners are out there enjoying their vehicles - not joining forums" thing. But seems a bit sus. 🤷

I've been here since 2022 and it's been like that since the beginning.
