  1. Service 12V battery system immediately error. - Replaced faulty 12V sensor.

    Did they call it a sensor or control module on your invoice? After the 3rd service call in less than a month due to replace 12V notifications, they finally replaced the Central Gateway Module on my 2023 R1S since they said it was reporting the wrong voltage levels after keeping it for over 2...
  2. [OFFICIAL] Redtiger F7NA Dashcam Free Review Unit Program —1 Spot Open, Honest Feedback Only

    I'm game. 1. None but I've been talking about getting one for my 2022 R1T, since Gen 1 Rivian cameras leave a lot to be desired based upon the 3 major accidents in the 33 months that I previously owned my 2023 R1S and only was useful in 1 out of the 3 accidents with the insurance companies not...
  3. Rivian Assistant Conspiracy

    The Rivian Assistant woman obviously must have conspired w/ my wife to bust my balls. Literally, the very first time I tried it, my wife almost lost her bladder when the RA woman replied, "Sorry but I only understand English." :mad: She basically just validated every time my wife has given me...
  4. Used Rivian Issues

    Oh and check the trim pieces especially on the tailgate and bed to make sure they aren't loose. Get the dealer to fix any of thos before you put any money down. Also, when I got my preowned 2022 R1T I went around w/ a treadwear gauge checking the inside and outside tread on every tire to make...
  5. Used Rivian Issues

    Doubtful that a Rivian accident could go unreported since the work would most like have to be done at a Rivian-cerified body shop. FWW, I recently totalled my Gen 1 quad 2023 R1S w/ 62.5K miles on it so I recenlty purchased a Gen 1 quad 2022 R1T w/ a 6/22 build date and 15k miles on it and even...
  6. Infotainment Issues with R1T

    Interesting. After this last 2026.070 OTA update, 3-4 times I've had both displays lock up and then reboot about 5-10 mins into my morning drive; don't know if it was just a coincidence but each time shortly after I but on ACC and Spotify. After both displays rebooted it was fine. This ONLY...
  7. R1T Tailgate Trim Replacement

    Dude. Once again, you guys are THE BEST! I've already got the mobile appointment set up for Monday 5/11 while I'm at work so couldn't get more convenient than that. I'm giving them the benefit of doubt that they will replace it under warranty since it still only has 18k miles on it and they...
  8. R1T Tailgate Trim Replacement

    Thanks for the info. I'm scheduled for a mobile service appointment in a week but they haven't produced an invoice yet. Fingers-crossed though that they'll cover it. Also, sent picture of the passenger side trim on the bed which is loose too.
  9. R1T Tailgate Trim Replacement

    Anyone have R1T tailgate trim replacement that wasn't covered under warranty even though it was under the warranty miles? If so, what was Rivian's justification for not covering it, and how much did it cost out of pocket? FWIW, I recently purchased a 2022 R1T w/ 15k miles on it and lost the...
  10. Rivian curious life-long cheapskate....what to look for in a USED R1T

    Upper right corner of the driver's door sticker which is another @LindsayVW differentiator because nearly all of their online Rivians include a photo of the door sticker which NO ONE else does.
  11. Rivian curious life-long cheapskate....what to look for in a USED R1T

    I just went through this process last month when I totaled my 2023 R1S, so after several weeks of research for ALL AVAILABLE used R1Ts in the MD/VA/PA/DC/DE area, I can HIGHLY recommend your BEST value deal will most-likely be found at @LindsayVW Dulles, VA. See my recent reply for details...
  12. WTT 21' Rims and Tires for Any Other OEM Wheels

    I actually just bought a pre-owned 2022 R1T 15k miles on it and OEM 21"s on the rear that have ~5-6mm left on the tread where as the OEM 21"s on the front still have 7-8mm; however, I just discovered that one of the rear 21"s has a gash in the sidewall which I don't want to risk. In general...
  13. Lindsay VW - The Nations #1 Source for Pre-Owned Rivians

    BLUF: Based upon my recent experience with Steven and his preowned Rivian sales team at Lindsay VW Dulles, I found everything Steven said above to be 100% accurate which sets them apart from EVERY other preowned Rivian sales option including Rivian itself! The 2022 R1T that I purchased from...
  14. NY - Long Island - Is this totaled or Not?

    Doubtful. Depends upon the year and miles on the vehicle though. FWIW, I had two major accidents in my Gen 1 quad 2023 R1S one of which I was rear-ended and cost $30k to repair (~40k miles) and the other one was a direct hit on the charge port, fender, and wheel which cost $33.5k to repair...
  15. Shopping for a Pre-Owned 2022-2023 R1T

    Unfortunately, I totaled my 2023 R1S last week, so I'm shopping for a 2022-2023 R1T. While researching availability, I was disappointed to see that *The People's Republic of Maryland* is one of the states to which Rivian cannot sell pre-owned trucks even if purchased out of state. WTH is up...
