RDU: read drive unit -> not related to the HV battery It is a 2023 R1T

Seems to be a pattern with some R1S from the last few weeks deliveries. Maybe Rivian got a bad batch of HV batteries or a bad runs of cells that got installed at about the same week in the factory? Just guessing wildly...

It sounds like a HV battery issue. Such a major zero-mile issue should have never left the factory. Let's hope Rivian gets this sorted out internally with some preventive actions. (which might take time given they are focusing on getting the manufacturing lines retrofitted/updated first)...

That is a very valid point. In my post I did indeed showed too much trust to A2ZEV with my wording, I realize that now. In this very specific case if the latch locking mechanism (pull test?) is not tested then of course testing all manufactured unit will not help to catch this specific issue.

Poka-yoke in manufacturing lingo. And I agree this "method" is long established for automotive suppliers.

If I understood correctly this issue is for a certain number of adapters, not all of them. Probably what happened that in the rush some latches got installed reverse. And maybe Lectron does not test each individual adapters made but some randomly (normal QA). What is interesting that if I...

Before turning to your local Shaman I know it sounds a lame question but have you tried a hard reset on your R1? That supposed to restart all ECUs. Such random issues sounds a but like a calibration issue after an OTA (on one of the ECUs the new SW version has a new NvM layout but some old...

Make sure they check the wire gauge inside that conduit as well. Helps to sleep better to know you have 6AWG :) That conduit on your pic looks a bit skinny but who knows, looks like you might have a 2/1 for that outlet. Some "electricians" just plop breakers in without considering that pulling...

My misunderstanding, I thought you have 30A wires between the breaker box and the outlet (on the picture). I should have read more carefully. If you have 50A wires (6AWG) between the box and the outlet then I was mistaken and you are right you can charge with 30A if the charger says it supports...

For your future reference: as @Zoidz said, you should limit your charging to 24A on a 30A line. Code allows 80% of the rating for continuous load. This should have been in the instructions of your charger (mine had it). FWIW: I am also using a 30A wires with a 30A breaker and I limit both my...

It sounds the experience suxed, no question about that. But some training in imagination might elevate the experience/memories. (Or in other words sounds like way overreacting in the title)

In the video (at around 23:30) you can see the average efficiency being 3.12 mpkW. Not sure how hard these demo cars are driven, plus I would expect further efficiency improvement as the development nears mass production but even at this level I think it is a fairly good value for a Tesla MY...

You might be in a tricky situation because it looks you have exhausted all conditions so logically the last remaining possibility is the adapter itself. But you cannot test the adapter anywhere else than at Tesla SCs. And even if the adapter would be the culprit here you cannot really prove as...

Yes, I was not clear on that part. I was not expecting Rivian service to refurbish a complex unit like that. They are working on the clock so swapping is what is the most efficient. I was wondering if the clutch is supplied to them (most probably) and in that case would/could they ask for...

The rear drive unit's clutch is a major failure point in DMs. I had the exactly same failure on my R1T last year and as I researched at that time there were multiple reports of the same failure since DMs started to roll out. Good thing is that they fail fairly quickly (within the first 100...

It finally came 4 minutes ago :) And after clicking the link it quite blend:

You can disguise DT color as 'launch green' edition :devil:

Do not get me wrong, the price you find is excellent. I am just hooked on his DT color stuff. I got the keyfob sorround in that color and was trying to hint:angel:that he should offer the same for this part as well.
