Yes. But my driving habits, including following distance haven't changed since I drove my Prius and the to of that windshield is barely 4 feet of the ground. So it should have been broken all the time but it never broke.

That's disappointing. I'm not sure how to drive without having anything hit the windshield. Seems like Rivian should be handing them out free.

Oh dear. I just watched the trailer. You are right. That doesn't inspire confidence. Sounds like I might as well order my windshield from Temu.

Same roads I drove my Prius on for 10 years without a windshield crack.

I basically only drive in All-Purpose. So, the R1T is much higher off the ground than my Prius with a massive windshield that was never broken in 10 years of ownership. That's why I was a little suspicious of the quality of the glass in the R1T.

I suppose "need" is pretty strong. But in modern vehicles, the windshield itself plays a role in the structural integrity of the vehicle during a crash. A cracked windshield doesn't do it's role properly. And here in the US, a cracked windshield is a violation that can get you a fine. And, yes...

Both of these have been rock strikes that immediately cracked to the edges of the windshield, so no repair was possible. They had to be replaced. Oddly, both occurred near the bottom of the windshield in the 8 inches of glass that is not visible from inside the cab.

I assume that it is just bad luck, But I only drove it for 10 months! So that's pretty bad luck.

Has anyone else had problems with the windshield on their R1T? I've had my truck for a little more than a year, and I'm on my third windshield. I've never had to replace a windshield this much on any other vehicle I've owned.

I assume that I won't get mine until after camping season is done here in Minnesota. You know, when it won't do me any good.

Update: the service center disconnected the 12 volt battery and discharged the system. Then restarted and it all worked. They said that there were no messages of failure in the log. So it seems mine was just a blip of some sort.

Thanks a lot. I really appreciate your help. This is really the first thing that has come up with my truck in the year that I've owned it. But it's still a bit of a bummer. Still, my buddy bought the Ford Maverick at about the same time, and he says he's lost count of the number of recalls that...

Wow! OK. I happened to be driving near the service center anyway, so I stopped. Luckily, there was a tech available and he came out to give it a quick look. He said it was a more serious TCM problem. I didn't know what that meant, but I had them add that info to the ticket. I'm guessing that...

This exact same thing just happened to me. I can't restart the vehicle and it won't connect to WIFI or the mobile network. I have an appointment with Rivian service on Wednesday. How did yours get fixed? Did it start working on it's own or did you need to have a part replaced?

If commercial activity is forbidden at rest stops, how come all our rest stops have vending machines selling lots of overpriced stuff? That is certainly commercial activity, part of my family literally made a fortune in vending machines. Why can't we just call a charger and electric vending...
