I installed my two Ohmmu Sodium‑Ion batteries a couple of days ago. If you’ve got an active on‑screen notification like the one below, you’ll likely need Rivian to clear it. Hard resets won’t do it. I had mine reset this morning for $56.75. Rivian will warranty the OEM lead‑acid battery for 2...

Did you check CarMax? They are a retailer of used Rivian's nationwide, with the vast majority directly purchased from Rivian.

I’m going with the Ohmmu Sodium dual‑battery setup. They’re in Prescott, AZ, so basically in my backyard. Plenty of people have done the install with zero issues, including clearing codes. The only gamble for me is if the batteries fail before 24,000 miles / 24 months, which would still fall...

If you’re able, could you redact your address/personal info and share your invoice? I’m replacing my battery set again (out of warranty) and want to make sure I’m getting charged the same rate you paid.

For me, efficiency boils down to one metric: how far I can actually drive at 70–75 mph. That’s my real freeway speed. I’ve tried running 70 in a 75 and I can barely tolerate it. Around town, every EV is “efficient enough,” but highway range at real speeds is what matters to me. Since a few...

Hideous

The floor jack in Austin was too large to fit with a lift pad like this below (4"). Rivian Service Centers already have an adapter for lift posts, so it's not a direct fit.

This is the pertinent question of the day. We'll know soon enough.

Your framing assumes a bias that simply isn't there. As DuoRivian already noted, this has nothing to do with Rivian consulting me or any third-party vendor. It's a straightforward observation, the R2 jack point design appears to lack end-user consideration. That's the point, nothing more. From...

Bingo.

Appreciate the kind words. People never cease to amaze. The R2 jack point design has one notable shortcoming: alignment. Floor jack or post lift, you're either holding the adapter in place or carefully lining everything up for a safe lift. If a major tire shop can screw up the R1 version (far...

LOL. Unfortunately, people like you can't simply say I stand corrected. They always have to walk away defending themselves. Typical troll behavior.... Hopefully, we can stay on track with the new R2 jackpoint design.

I'm the OP and I have never posted about this anywhere other than right here on the Rivian Forums, where I'm a site sponsor. Whatever Reddit thread you're referring to is not mine. Troll somewhere else.

We will have a solid solution and have made two designs already, so I'm not concerned about that. It's like you say, "we gotta make do with what we got..."

The 2"×4" pad is the only load‑bearing surface, and it’s a slick high‑density polymer, so magnets are off the table. The cavity helps with rough location, but the rounded corners make it less than ideal. With no magnetic coupling, every puck has to be hand‑held or placed on a floor jack and...
