  1. Which one of you was this?

    Billions of years tucked in under ground, finally it's brought out into the sunlight, rock thinks it's got it made, soaking up some UV, minding it's own business...then WHAM, Glacier White R!S takes it out. I think the R1S had some beef with that particular rock, they even pull along side it...
  2. Who HASN'T been invited to order with an early reservation?

    All of Canada. So relax.
  3. LUCID cutting 18 percent of staff

    There was a time where they were finally making progress on supplying some of their tech to other companies which, given the amount of R&D they put into it, would have been a huge boon for them. I believe Hyundai Motor Group was going to use Lucid motors in their Genesis EV line, but that fell...
  4. Early adopters who gave up on Rivian, RJ hopes you give Rivian another try

    Everyone has a different Rivian experience, so I'll preface this by saying in spite of component repairs, Rivian service is hands down the most pain free from a customer standpoint vs traditional dealerships Having an R1T has been a wild ride. - Best vehicle I've ever owned. - Most I've seen...
  5. Half-Shaft issue thread

    That's literally the reason it's so hard to give up. I love the breadth of capability, but I hate that if 1 of 6 interconnected components goes, the whole thing needs to be redone. The simplicity of the R2 suspension will be it's greatest strength, and should lend itself well to the aftermarket...
  6. Strap towed a 4Runner 30 miles out of Mendocino National Forest…

    Nice trip. on your range anxiety comment, I've found especially in mountainous BC, that in spite of the huge efficiency hit heading up and into the mountains, the regen recoupling power on the return trip usually means I'm seeing paved highway efficiencies overall by the end of the trip, which...
  7. I’m a little surprised - no R2 flips yet?

    Move along, nothing to see here....
  8. Poll: How often do you use your frunk?

    Nearly every time I enter and exit the truck. - Work boots, safety gear, and backpack with laptop etc. - Groceries - Camping gear
  9. Critical Battery Issue -Service Vehicle Immediately

    Sounds like the HV battery is protecting itself from something. I know the Gen 2 packs are more serviceable than a Gen 1. But I would say, worst case HV battery replacent
  10. Please help with AC charger port disable!

    He's asking if the wall chargers wiring has any loose screws internally which may be causing the fault on the Rivian side. He's also asking if you've tried charging it using different chargers, not just one AC charger. Such as at home, at work, at a library, or anywhere else that may offer...
  11. Please help with AC charger port disable!

    Not sure the 12v battery is causing the problem, but if it is you might try going into the RiDE menu, and resetting the battery and see if that resolves it? Follow the video for a how to.
  12. Half-Shaft issue thread

    They just replaced all 4 dampers, and half-shafts on mine. I'm greatful these things have been warrantable items, but I just had my rear dampers replaced in November. I think I'm on my 3rd set of front dampers, 4th set of rear. Half shafts, I believe 3rd set on the front, 2nd set on the rear...
  13. Half-Shaft issue thread

    To your last comment about reversing, 100% It was like threading the needle anytime I was trying to reverse slowly against a wall trying to predict the initial partial movement, followed by the brakes seemingly lagging their release of the rotors, and then the rear motors overcoming the slop in...
  14. Half-Shaft issue thread

    From what I've seen here and elsewhere, most have had it addressed prior to any full failure of the of the half shaft. There was one owner that had a half shaft come out as he was coming up his driveway. Sounded like the world was coming to an end. I've reached out to the owner to see what the...
  15. Half-Shaft issue thread

    This is what bad half shafts sound like within the vehicle. I've known something was off with the rear half shafts since November, but it wasn't pronounced enough to be easily replicated beyond the occasional knock between regen/accel. Now it's repeatable under normal driving 95% of the time...
