It's hilarious that people still bring this up. We definitely could use an explainer video to break it down. My wife was also hung up on this for the longest time. Some people can't handle change. It's scares them. One pedal driving is the absolute best. Leave it in max regen mode. Learn to...

Damn Dude. Glad you're okay. Looks minimal, but they will need to inspect everything.

Na SCs wouldn't do that. Too risky, they simply ran out of loaner vehicles and lent yours out. /s

AH yoooo.... sincerely... fuck you But really... I went all day being safe and then fell for this today. 🤣

Love the car wash setup! Good luck w/ the sale!

U-Turns, city driving, and parallel parking are common enough for my use. R1's are their flagship model. Niice! For other gen1 owners to hear:

Ditto to a lot of these. But also, install bigger & better dampened fans for the heat exchangers. So fucking loud and vibrates like a son of bitch. Also, we don't need a Gen 3 for an odometer that's live in the driver's screen. That's purely software. My wishlist for Gen3: 800V Bigger pack...

That's rough. I believe my installer used pure copper for the install. I have not verified, though. Are you going to replace the wiring with copper? Then re-torque to spec to see if that fixes it? Though there is a chance the Rivian Charger could be damaged. If you need to replace the...

My R1T just starting the acceleration "clunking". 13k miles. The loaner I had in December had it really, really bad.

My wife is leasing a '24 Lyriq right meow. We are 12 months in and 12 months to go. It's overall a great car. They definitely had some software issues, but they are rolling out updates and OTA updates (the delivery of) have been smooth out. Going from an R1T to the Lyriq ... it's a...

Could they develop a RAD tuner for G1? Absolutely! Even if it wasn't to the 100% of the ability of G2's; they still could. Will they? Probably not. Sunk cost with no "on paper" gain. Even though it would do wonders for brand loyalty in the long run. (I would consider buying it if they made it...

...by hand, less often, is less wear simply by the lower frequency. Yes. But ALSO: 1. your hand washing, most likely, is less harsh (mechanically speaking) vs an automatic car wash's brushes 2. your hand washing, most likely, has less contamination on your rags vs the car wash's brushes 3...

First thing I did was polish and ceramic coat my Riv. Top tier move. Car washes are rarely needed and are a breeze here in ATX.

This makes me feel a bit better about the fix. I was fortunate enough to make 1 service request and provide sufficient evidence to make this not a battle. The service advisor was really hammering the fact that ~9 kW range is the "norm". I made sure to make a rebuttal about how I paid for a...

I'm back home after picking up my Riv. They replaced the entire charging harness and since they had to dig into the vehicle, they had to do an alignment afterwards (included in the warranty). They did note the temp sensors were reading inaccurately. These were part of the replacement. They...
