  1. Tips for taking car on Amtrak auto train

    Took the car from Florida and back. They drove it right in without folding the mirrors.
  2. Rivian R3 wins Design of the Year in 2024 Top Gear Awards

    Rivian's got a real winner on its hands but I expect Chinese manufacturers to pick up on the design and bring copycats to market early.
  3. Tips for taking car on Amtrak auto train

    Yes. No issues at all. Just make sure you give them the key fob and not the card.
  4. High pitch whine noise from motor - 23 Dual motor/max

    I don't think there's much we can do if the car operates within these noise tolerances by design. Like I said, they decided to go ahead and sell these loud af drive configurations to protect their bottom line probably knowing there will only be a few of us that will end up complaining. Me...
  5. High pitch whine noise from motor - 23 Dual motor/max

    Depends on what's they would replace it with. Maybe the newer drive units are quieter, or the gen 2's have better sound dampening. Ultimately we may have to accept the fact that our vehicles were a briefly sold variant released with engineering compromises to maximize sales.
  6. High pitch whine noise from motor - 23 Dual motor/max

    A tech and master tech rode with me. The master tech told me the noise could potentially get even louder over time which is pretty discouraging. My guess is Rivian did not have time to adequately address the dual motor noise before gen 2 came out and decided to start selling them in order to...
  7. High pitch whine noise from motor - 23 Dual motor/max

    Was at the service center today for my second attempt at having them address the same issue but was told the same thing. They also let me test a gen 2. It was dead silent compared to my gen 1. I don't see how they can say this is normal when they obviously made what would appear to be...
  8. New Dual Motor Performance R1S loud siren type noise from motor

    They did. Still unbelievable to me how they think this should be acceptable for a $90k car.
  9. New Dual Motor Performance R1S loud siren type noise from motor

    Thanks, will do the math and see what the damage will be.
  10. New Dual Motor Performance R1S loud siren type noise from motor

    Not sure if I'm understanding you correctly but you were able to trade out of a lease agreement into another vehicle? The noise is driving me nuts and I no longer look forward to driving the car. Have another service appointment next week. If they refuse to do anything I don't know what my...
  11. Guide: R1S / R1T Wind Noise FIX!

    Wanted to add a data point. Got my car back from service for wind noise. I'm don't know of all the areas they worked on but the gasket was definitely replaced on the front driver side door and window. The car is now whisper quiet (aside from tire noise) on the highway at 70mph.
  12. High pitch whine noise from motor - 23 Dual motor/max

    I'm bringing mine into service tomorrow for this noise. It's obscenely loud compared to my previous quad motor.
  13. New Dual Motor Performance R1S loud siren type noise from motor

    Would you mind recording a video of you car at speeds from 10-40mph for reference? We only have videos from people reporting noise issues here and having a baseline would help.
  14. New Dual Motor Performance R1S loud siren type noise from motor

    I've seen several videos including mine exhibiting the same noise. Are there any DM owners out there that DON'T hear this?
  15. Dual Motor Noise Comparison

    Traded in my quad for the extra range of the dual and instantly regretted it because of the noise. Couldn't return it because it's a lease and now my only hope is that service will agree that the drive is too loud. Been choosing to drive the model y over the r1s so I don't have to hear the...
  16. Dual Motor Noise Comparison

    I updated my initial recording, boosting the offending noise so that it matches closer to what I'm actually hearing in the car. Yours sounds very similar to mine. This will definitely turn off people coming from Teslas. This is my second R1S and I have an R2 ordered but if Rivian thinks this...
  17. Loud drive unit in new dual motor R1S

    I think it might be the road and wind noise that's responsible for most of the sound being picked up by the app. Our ears are probably more attuned to the unusual sounds produced by the motor. My quad motor's noise was far quieter than the dual which concurs with your experience. Also, based...

    Fingers crossed. Thanks for sharing your experience.
