Just take it to Discount Tire and they will patch it for free, if possible. Damage from a puncture is unlikely to be deem a defective tire, though. If the tires are worn out before the mileage warranty, you could get a prorated refund based on the mileage you got out of them, not free...

I still plan to be there!

Sometimes Rivian really wants you to take a particular route for some reason. I deal with this quirk when setting an initial route sometimes. I know which way I want to go, but I like to have the nav running to see traffic and eta. I realize it's a different issue than yours, but just in...

My G1 truck does seem to target 75°F with the automatic preconditioning. I have paid attention during both hot and cold months, and it always seems to be heating or cooling to reach 75°F when I am navigating to a charger. It is also common engineering practice to design the middle of a gauge's...

For me, a big thing would be the depth of the garage. It looks like you have an R1S, but if you might ever consider an R1T, keep in mind how long it is. It barely fits in a standard 20 ft garage, no room to walk past it in front or behind. I have a 23 ft garage now and can at least walk by in...

This would be a nice feature. Unfortunately right now, the system is also bad at estimating the charge time with a cold battery. Last night with my battery at ~30°F, I plugged in and got a 12-hour estimate. In reality, once the battery warmed up from charging, the rate increased, and charging...

The Michelin is absolutely a step down in dry and wet traction, hence the B traction rating compared to A for the Pirelli. This isn't an opinion, this is measured by the tire manufacturers. You can also feel the loss of grip after making the switch if you take corners aggressively or accelerate...

I've had the Michelins for a couple weeks now. I honestly liked the OEM Pirellis; I thought traction was great and I never had issues with noise or anything. I got 29,400 miles on the OEM tires and replaced them at 3/32 tread depth due to the start of MI winter. If it were summertime, I would...

Oh, I get it now. I thought you had installed the PTC mechanism but were able to roll it in and out manually. Thanks.

Have you posted more details about this anywhere? I would love to do this. Are you able to lock it closed?

Late to the party, but following for future outings.

I have seen a similar issue. My workplace installed Tesla universal chargers with the integrated J1772 adapter, and they would frequently fail to start charging for me, although occasionally they would work normally. One day I plugged in and it failed to charge, but I was in a hurry and just...

Your truck was still settling from being in Highest mode. In Highest, your speed is limited to 20 mph, and it takes several seconds after leaving that mode to get the speed limiter removed. Once the limiter is removed, you have to release the throttle and then press it again to go.

It's more than just a resolution issue, too. The drive cam as a very strong fisheye effect, so objects seem really far away, making small details hard to see. It also has a relatively low POV, which isn't ideal. And it's outside, so it's frequently dirty. It's certainly nice to have the feature...

That's how it works in CA. You probably paid about that much last year if you bought the truck new in CA, but didn't pay attention if it was rolled into your financing. They gradually depreciate the truck so the cost will go down slightly each year. I'm in MI now and they do the same thing, but...
