I think it can be both. The oldest stations, with the most use, were built in the highest demand areas. So it's not just they are busy, but they are undersized, and built with old unreliable HW. I'm in the northeast, and the chargers close to NYC really suck as do many of the ones in the best...

Crappy quality, but got to post for memorial day

No, the point is whenever the AC runs hard it's loud. A bad humidity sensor will make it run hard, but also hot weather and full sun will make it run hard. Loud is normal. If it's loud, and it's hot, it's normal.

Humidity sensors don't make noise, that just justifies to me that the sound is the right noise. Your humidity sensor probably just made it run harder. I've had my R1S for 6 months, today was the first time I've heard the crazy AC noise (from cooling the car down from a 110 cabin temp after...

Not just possible, they definitely have more changes. The EPA data leaked is ONLY standard pack dual. They haven't published the info for large/max pack. I think a new battery for all is the primary thing in the refresh. Also, the old Standard/Standard+ was a SW locked large, and I think...

The They absolutely are not withholding to keep the preorder holders from buying. That would just result in lost sales which they could have done anyways. Nah, they'd want to push them to the refresh as it being cheaper to build means less of a loss from the coupon. Their email sent to...

No, I saw a bunch of people requesting that. But I think Rivians are pretty damn difficult to steal. The cards are NFC (difficult to extent their range). The phone is easier, but I have unlock at home off so range extending the phone wouldn't work at my house (and my card is in a NFC wallet)...

Way over EPA. I think 2.8-3mi/kWh seems about normal for me in 80 degree weather which would be 375-400mi on my large pack quad. If you had a dual motor max I'd expect 500 honestly. I don't think you'll find enough traffic to sit in stop and go traffic for 20 hours, even in a hurricane...

That view was with the underbody shield removed, you saw the undamaged pack, the shield probably had decent damage and that's how it bent the bolts.

It should be, but I think it's a combination of lack of a right to repair and liability concerns. The manufacturer dictates recommended repair procedures. They are going to say pack damage requires a new pack, due to liability on their end, and less work (they don't need to write a procedure to...

Insurance companies don't want to deal with repairs on EVs, just accepting the repair shop estimate at face value when they say the pack is damaged so it's super expensive. The vehicle he had a bent stud on the pack, so they totaled it because it needs a new pack. But the stud in question was...

Need to check for the presence of all removable accessories. All R1s should have: * Camp Speaker * Flashlight * Mobile Charger * First Aid Kit * Air hose, should include adapters, and tire goo kit * Car seat latch guides * Front license plate holder if required Optional items that may be...

Yea, I was trying to see if that's what I really need to do or is the Rivian mobile service enough. I think I'm going to end up buying pucks and training my local tire shop..

America's / Discount tire doesn't exist on the east Coast. So you have to use a shop that has no training on Rivians... Anyways, I complained, I will see what they do...they didn't send a work authorization in advance

Anyone else had Rivian overcharge for a tire rotation? I had mobile service do some warranty work, and figured I'll throw in a tire rotation at the same time. The ticket said "do a tire rotation", I watched, they did a tire rotation (though didn't really follow the pattern, did front to back...

Read in the blue box on page 10 The doc (PDF)

Depends on how the SW limits it, but I would expect it just limits it based on voltage or whatever so if the pack loses 15% you lose 15% usable (so less real miles lost and an equivalent large pack). And the truth is, battery wear is heavily related to voltage, if the cap functions as just...

Yes cost reduction, but people need to remember cost reduction doesn't mean worse or improvements won't be made. It can often mean that you make a minor change on a part for a big cost cut, and roll in all the irrelevant fixes to that at the same time. It means you eliminate old chips going out...

I really don't think this is about nav. Rivian has gotten a lot better, and they have stated they wanted to try and profit from it. I don't think they want help, definitely not from the company pushing carplay and trying to monetize the same thing Rivian wants to monetize. What I think they are...

I bet it's really about Apple music and TV.. I just got a Rivian survey today for my 6 months of ownership. Had some interesting questions...asked about the charge port location, but also asked about subscriptions. They asked about how many subscriptions I have, what I pay for, and importantly...
