The thing is, I *really* don't want an extended warranty. I want to be able as an owner, to be empowered to fix my own stuff. I really don't like Rivian telling me how I can, and can't use/modify/fix the vehicle I own.

Same. I had the A/C wet spot addressed at 55k miles. I'm well out of warranty now at 70k miles and *really* concerned about the Rivian shop rates (they're higher than even BMW rates) Without any right to repair, service manuals for owners, or 3rd party shops my Rivian R1T feels like a...

Since those Cargo Crossbar adapters are now unobtainable, i've designed a 3d printable version here: * https://cults3d.com/en/3d-model/tool/rivian-accessory-port-mount * https://cults3d.com/en/3d-model/various/rivian-nmo-nmm-radio-mount

LOL, my Chemist wife would murder me. ✨Aluminum✨ body

Oh hell yes. Awesome write up! I've been trying to figure out a clean way to add an antenna without drilling into the body.. with the all Au body, even magnet mounts have been a no-go. I'm no ham, but like to fiddle with the 900Mhz LoRA stuff. A NMO mount seems like just the ticket on my R1T.

Very likely, but I do feel like their intents are more profit-motivated at this point. They want to collect that sweet, sweet service revenue. (which I have no issues with.. what I do have issues with is locking consumers out completely from servicing their own vehicles) Someone on reddit has...

Whelp. No Rivian information on AlldataDIY. https://www.alldata.com/us/en/support/repair-collision/article/vehicle-data-publishing "Special Update - Rivian Information is now available!" The Rivian service information is only seemingly available to the professional subscribers and not the...

After much, much, much complaining on my part (and 18 videos of it happening, and 3 service visits) they finally fixed it. They replaced the central gateway module (CGM). I had enough documentation of it happening under warranty to convince them to replace it under warranty. ($1200 out of...

With all the issues finally (finally) solved with my launch edition, im 66k miles in and plan on keeping it until the wheels fall off. Might even buy a new battery pack when this one finally degrades too much.. who knows

66k miles in on my early 2022 R1T. Here's my "run down" of issues. My minor issues seen on early VIN R1T (all warranty / recall covered) Driver door gasket fell off. Warranty fix Door lights in back seat came unplugged. Warranty fix. Bad dash rattle, NVH. Warranty fix Early dual battery...

FINALLY. 🎉🎉🎉 Alldata was a good choice. They charge a reasonable amount to diyers. I paid for service manuals for my Bolt EV, and the quality was really good.

Exactly. For what you get, the value realization of a Rivian absolutely beats the crap out of any similarly priced vehicles. The used 2022 R1 vehicles going for $40k are an absolute steal. I just wish Rivian would fix their DIY repair issues. Service pricing still *way* too premium for basic...

Rivian owners are "just as rich" as someone who buys a 95k Ford F-250 with leather seats to haul their kids to school. However, the people spending 95k+ on Ford vehicles are idiots :CWL: . Rivian is a lot more premium of a vehicle than any legacy auto maker can build.

2022 Launch Edition R1T. 68k miles. Having major DCFC communication issues service hasn't been able to fix after multiple visits. Assuming they finally fix the issues, I plan on keeping mine until the wheels fall off. If they can't fix it.... Not sure. Not being able to road trip when you...

I have a scheduled appointment for Feb. I'm definitely part of this population (suspension repairs, replaced front drive unit) They added FSAM-1794 automatically to my appointment without intervention. I'm planning on sticking my face under there tomorrow to see if there's any backout of that...
