That sounds like how much weight they added/removed from the wheel to affect the balance, not the road force machine readings. Did they give you any other supporting info? Regardless, glad to hear it's at least somewhat better now.

Software might react that fast, but the mechanical system can't keep up. There's noticable lag between slipping and engagement on the dual motor trucks. Coupled with fully open differentials it's not spectacular. I run "snow" mode for probably 90% of my driving. No rear disconnect lag, and...

Well, that's a fun bit of driver error right there.

This is great info. I'm fortunate in that the local Rivian service center (Niagara Falls) has well trained and caring techs. I had 3/4 of my tires replaced within a week of delivery of the truck because they couldn't balance them properly. I'm unsure if Rivian replaced them, or if they got...

Road Force balancing isn't a Rivian exclusive issue. Just because a tire place has a machine, doesn't mean they have a tech that knows how to use it well, or understands what you're trying to accomplish. Like I said it took 2-3 shops to find one that had a good machine and a good technician...

Road force isn't a "setting" it's a measurement. Anything over ~20lbs will be noticeable inside the cabin. I absolutely would NOT accept anything over 25lbs. I had a '15 GMC Sierra that had the "chevy shake" that is somewhat notorious in those trucks. It took a few tries to find a local company...

If you mean "why does it go back to All Purpose" all the time.....THEN..... EPA mandate. Vehicle must return after a "key cycle" (or predetermined time) to the configuration it was EPA tested in. source: https://www.ecfr.gov/current/title-40/chapter-I/subchapter-U/part-1066 **EDIT** That's...

Man, I got eviscerated in that other thread for taking that stance. Glad I'm not the only one that has some sanity left.

I did an off roading event with NERC over two days in spring of '25. This was in Northeast PA, was pretty technical and with a big group. Here's the pictures. https://photos.app.goo.gl/1YEWz43h2shdjfoX6 You should compare these to what you'll be doing. I suspect it's more technical than you're...

Disagree. The difference in adjusting is minimal and within any statistically significant margin of error when compared with physical buttons. The underlying "messing with a setting" distraction is the problem, not the event at the end of the finger tip. I'll change my wording to "...

You're speaking in hyperbole around safety here on purpose, because you're mad at feature loss. Did you buy the truck with the express understanding that you hated touchscreens, but made a concession on having voice commands? Did you test drive one at all before purchase? This feels really...

Appreciate and respect the ownership.

I find it interesting how many people only like the "software defined vehicle" when features are added, but then immediately get upset when they are removed. Like, this is what you signed up for in a very "for better or worse" kind of way. You agreed to let someone other than yourself have...

Yea, ya kinda did. In a video no less. I highlighted the captions for clarity.

I completely disabled proximity locking on all devices the other day. Only way I get in is by pushing buttons on the fob. Cut out all of the unwanted Lock/Unlock bullshittery. Still only works on the first press about 75% of the time, but it's the least agitating it's been in 2yrs of ownership...
