  1. When the law says they can't raise your insurance rates due to a glass claim, but free markets exist anyway

    We've had a few insurance discussions here before, particularly with the expensive glass we have. Lately I've talked to a few people in a few states about their insurance changes/challenges. Hopefully this is some useful knowledge to understand both the practical matter of what to claim with...
  2. Software update seems to have fixed my totally insane air conditioning issue

    This whole thing reminds me of the time that a friend got two new turbos in her BMW because the LED in the rear door handle had failed. Problem: AC acted like it was super low on refrigerant, taking a very long time to start cooling. Also when remote starting it, the AC controls would appear...
  3. 20" Inch What a tire separation looks and feels like, and also causes pulling to one side

    Looking back now, this started as a vibration at 75-80 MPH. Then I had a wobble around 35-45. I figured it was a balance issue, as it was pretty light, or potentially that TSB on the steering wheel wobble. I was planning to go for a rotation and re-balance at Discount, where I got the tires...
  4. Off-road trip with some Rivian engineers

    The head of the off-road engineering and some others put on a short trip and some lessons. Nothing like learning from the people who made your truck! I'll edit and post some video later, there are conversations I need to be careful with as I don't know what things they would want repeated...
  5. It seems like there is no way to look out of the door/window while moving? (Self parks)

    I was trying to hang my head out of the window to be able to put my tires on a specific spot accurately. As soon as I lifted my butt out of the seat, the truck self parked. There was no way to do what I needed. I tried opening the door and that also put it in park. This is pretty stupid...
  6. Can we fix this with PDR, or is it worse than that?

    Tucson, Mount Lemmon: Witnesses reported he was driving like an asshole and blew through a guard rail at high speed.
  7. CarPlay/Android Auto unit and phone charger installed with solid 3D printed mounts

    We all know why we need CarPlay, that's been hashed out repeatedly. I got this unit a few months ago and ran it with the included suction cup mount to make sure it would be useful and that I liked the utility. It was great, but the mount sucked. I then went without CP for a month, to be sure...
  8. Rivian brand EVSE not compatible with Rivan (error message)

    Um, what? This has happened three times now, and I'm on my second wall mount EVSE. This is the new generation model. Just glad it's never happened when I *needed* charging for major driving the next day. Since the Rivian is missing a feature we had on the Tesla; if you park at home and it's...
  9. Ten years ago, if anyone had told me that I’d own a pickup that could smoke any motorcycle off the line...

    ...I would have told them to find a different crack dealer. At the previous light, I had done a half-throttle take-off and the guy on the sportbike had given a thumbs up. He didn't realize it was only half throttle. Good time, and this is how fun should be had, not the assholes who give me...
  10. Arizona Sold: 20" Scorpion A/T tire brand new

    Got this with a new, unused spare wheel but I'm running a different tire on the truck. Never been rolled. Date code 2622. They seem to be $462 everywhere, how about $300? I'm in NW Phoenix, and can get the tire to zip code 91745 in early September for someone out there. Otherwise can...
  11. Made a four-tire air-down/air-up kit for the Rivian

    This isn't Rivian specific of course, I've made these for my Jeeps before. It lets you inflate all four tires after off-roading, and make them all equal pressure, while you sit in the air conditioned cabin and watch YouTube or something. I am in AZ and it's just no fun to babysit tires when...
  12. The "courtesy inspection" on the invoice could be total fiction

    Looking through past service for another reason, I discovered a mobile visit listed a courtesy inspection as a completed item. It included torquing lug nuts, tire pressure check, and other typical items. Not a single one of those things was done. I stood there with the tech the entire time...
  13. Airbags and light passengers

    Before I file an NHTSA complaint, I'm wondering if anyone else has experienced airbags turning off for passengers in the 100-110 pound range. My wife is 106-108 and the airbag often turns off. The SC checked this and said it was normal. No other car we've been in has done this, ever. NHTSA...
  14. Arizona Sold: Yet another A2Z adapter, $150 shipped

    Original version, used a few times, works great and doesn't stick or give me any issues. Already packed to ship in an OEM Rivian box! Paypal, Venmo, Zelle, Apple Pay.
  15. Why is the Rivian planner preferring Tesla SC over RAN chargers?

    Going from Phoenix to Vegas, it tells me to charge at the SC in Kingman. There's a RAN there too. WTF??
  16. Apple Watch As A Key works great on Gen 1 with WAAK app

    I've edited this to reflect a few things learned later in the thread. Same concepts with more details. It's beta, works perfectly for me. I used it yesterday when I let my phone battery die. Great backup. If you can't get it to let you drive, or to do passive lock/unlock, then reboot the...
  17. GOAT Fab rock rails installed

    These look great, and are super solid. Installation was not a big deal, with the most annoying part being the mods to the plastic panels to fit around them. And one of the panel bolts was made of garbage Chinesium so the head snapped off. Not sure what my solution will be here. These are a...
  18. Question for anyone with the Proclip center dash mount

    It's really not "center" in their photos. My question is whether it could be clipped into the actual center, over the screen, instead of the angled part of the dash.
