  1. ⚠️ Final 48 Hours: F7NA is almost gone!

    Unfortunately, I haven't yet had time to write up my review (THIS WEEKEND!) but the bottom line is that I'm very impressed so far and even took advantage of your sale to buy my wife your F77 for her 2021 Porsche Cayenne which was delivered today, so this weekend it shall be installed and I'll...
  2. 12V Battery Replacement Megathread

    My 2022 R1 that I bought from you in March literally got the 12V notification a day after 2026.15.01 was installed. SMH I asked if for a mobile service appointment but they said it could just be a firmware update and I had to bring it in to the SC where they could run the firmware check...
  3. Any Audi drivers out here?

    I can only speak for the Gen 1 quad R1S/R1T for which there's no comparison with any other stock vehicle other than a handful of top of the line sportscars on the market that are in the 0-60 in 3s range and even fewer in the Gen 2 quad 0-60s in 2.5s range. Sure, there's a software based...
  4. Any Audi drivers out here?

    Well, they already replaced the Q7 engine mounts when they replaced the water pump back in December, so that $4K is already gone but my daughter hasn't had to add in oil since, so hopefully that was the source of the added oil between oil changes; however, thanks for the Berrymans B12 tip! I'll...
  5. Any Audi drivers out here?

    LOVE Audi interior and exterior styling FAR better than Rivians from the the REAL leather instead of pleather (aka vegan leather), to a REAL *premium* sound system, and controls (love the knob controls) as well as Apple Car Play/Android Auto support (Waze is a MUST HAVE for long daily...
  6. Service 12V battery system immediately error. - Replaced faulty 12V sensor.

    I hope that was the root cause after all and not a case of *whack-a-mole*. Time will tell. After two 12V replacements in less than 2 years and then three more 12V service calls less than a year later for my previously owned 2023 R1S, they finally replaced the control module but I totaled it a...
  7. Compared to the R2, what makes the Scout a compelling alternative?

    Not really an apples-to-apples comparison since the Scout BEV models are in the R1S/R1T class and certainly not even close to the EREV models. As far as the Gen 1 2023 R1S that I used to own (much happier w/ my preowned 2022 R1T now!), the following list of reasons why I put a $100 deposit down...
  8. [OFFICIAL] Redtiger F7NA Dashcam Free Review Unit Program —1 Spot Open, Honest Feedback Only

    I appreciate being selected to review the @Redtiger F7NA 4K dashcam! I received it Monday afternoon but I've been busier than a one-armed wallpaper hanger, so I just got around to unboxing it and putting it up temporarily this Sunday evening. First impression was that it's a pretty easy...
  9. 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...
  10. [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...
  11. 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...
  12. 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...
  13. 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...
  14. 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...
  15. 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...
