So, this may have been mentioned earlier (not going to scroll through 11 pages), but I asked the service rep this morning about my battery. He said the most recent update was better tuned to detect "possible 12v issues", which is why so many of us are suddenly being flagged. Another great...

I’m having mine replaced tomorrow. ‘24 Gen 1 (so single battery). This my first replacement. For the record, I’ve never received a warning via the system. I just got a text from Rivian saying I might experience problems, and to schedule a replacement. Got my work order as well. $0.

What year? 2024/2025 had a huge issue with preferences. If you changed the gauges from large to small, turned off the car, then came back a few minutes later, they went back to large. Other settings didn’t save either. Worked fine in earlier versions, though. I just drove my mother’s Q5 PHEV...

Fuck my county?!?! No, fuck your county!! Sorry…couldn’t resist. It’s like the Old Bust Head t-shirts say: - Eat here - Drink here - Fauquier

Yeah, I also got the notification last week (while on vacation in Seattle…and my truck was charging in the Dulles parking garage…). Rivian service offered the mobile option, but I don’t have an L2 charger at home, so I had to make an appointment at the SC. Got 2 weeks out (next Wednesday).

Congrats. On a side note…If you have R1 crossbars that you want to sell…

“Objects in the mirror may be older than they appear”

Meh…why would you do that? You’d get like…Breaking the Law and You’ve Got Another Thing Coming, and miss out on Beyond the Realms of Death or Diamonds and Rust (live), which, I only recently learned is a cover. The original is a folk song…

I’ve actually considered asking an AI Chatbot every morning “what will be the closing stock price of (pick a company)?” and tracking its guesses for a few months. But, that would require I interact with a Chatbot, which I have zero interest in doing…

Yeah, I was just listening to the Vergecast podcast, and they were talking about what Google is doing to Search. Time to find a new search engine. Duck Duck Go, anyone?

Why do people keep asking AI stupid questions like this? It’s not “smart” for these kinds of things. It’s simply regurgitating information it scraped off the web. Until AI searches start providing references to where it pulled that information, it’s useless. It could be referencing a thread...

WTF?!?! Did they hit, back up, hit again, then run? How do you crumple the rear corner AND the gear tunnel, but somehow avoid the wheel?

I’ll change my AI voices to have a British accent. They always sound so smart…
