Yep. I bought my I Pace new in September 2021 and it has 57,000 miles on it. I have not spent a dime in maintenance. Jaguar covers routine scheduled maintenance for the first five years or 60k miles. My tires and brakes are still in great shape. I don't think they have had to do anything except...

I just spoke to Rivian Support who offered to add the caliper cleaning to an appointment I already have coming up at a service center but they said the it would be $300 just for the caliper cleaning. They said if I had this done by a mobile tech it would be $300, and would be in addition to the...

Do they just charge you $60 for a mobile service tire rotation? Or do they charge extra for the cleaning and lubricating?

Is this really what they mean? The video strikes me as it being more about detailing/cosmetics than about function/longevity. I'd like my Rivian brakes to be lasting longer - I had to replace front pads and rotors at 39k miles on my R1T. By comparison, by Jaguar I Pace is showing very little...

So the new R1 maintenance schedule recommends "clean brake calipers if driving on salted roads" every year or 12k miles. Does anyone know what this means in practice? I asked Rivian Service about adding it to an upcoming service appointment and the response was that they don't provide break...

Yeah, I left it on the L2 overnight, which got it to over 50% and then took it to a fast charger to take it to 80, which was enough to get me home, where I charged it to 100% on my home charger, and I'll keep it hooked up on the home charger for a couple of days. No 12V battery warning so far...

Well this story had an unexpectedly happy ending. Arrived back at my truck Saturday evening and unlocked it with my fob. Screen indicated 3% battery remaining with 11 miles of range available. Fortunately there were a few open charging spots on the same level of the parking garage about 200 feet...

I'm pretty sure the ship has sailed on this idea, but thank you anyway. Battery was at 20% on Sunday and 14% on Monday so I'm not going to impose on the kindness of a stranger when it's more likely than not that the car is already bricked. It's a lot to ask of someone. And even if they got it...

Thanks. If I'm not able to find someone, or if I do find someone and it's already bricked when they get to it, am I basically correct about what happens next? It gets towed to the SC and they replace both of the 12V batteries for $700-1000, and then I'm good to go? And there's no way this is...

Longish story, but please bear with me ... So I've got an 1st Gen R1T. Drove it from my home in Southern Vermont to Trudeau Airport in Montreal, QC on Saturday, parking it in the main parking garage at the airport. The garage has dozens of level 2 charging stations and normally I plug in there...

Just heard back from the SC. They've agreed to waive the storage fee as a one time exception, because I was supposed to have been told about it when I scheduled the service. Once the service is completed, they are going to move the truck to an off-site secure storage area where they keep their...

The issue is going to be whether they acknowledge (or you can prove) that the damage happened while the car was in their possession. When it comes down to it, I guess my view is that where a SC is in a dense area with limited space I can understand a storage fee, although I think it should...

Skimming the service terms posted above, I don't see any waiver of liability for theft, vandalism, etc. I think it would be hard for them to avoid liability for damage to the car while it is in their custody/control absent an explicit waiver from the customer. And yes I am a lawyer, but this is...

I mean ... yeah, while the car is in their possession they are responsible for keeping it secure where it sits in a lot alongside a bunch of other R1s being serviced or awaiting service or awaiting delivery to customers. I would expect when Rivian opens a new service center their are any number...

Is it still the case that people are dropping off their vehicles, which then sit at the service centers for days or weeks before anybody even looks at them? So when you drop your car off you don't know if it will be ready for you in a day or a week or a month, but you have to get their within 24...
