I guess to replace them yourself you would need a way of keeping the system powered while you remove them. There is probably some kind of shunt involved too. Luckily I have other vehicles to drive in the event she bricks before Rivian can get a hold of it, so I'm not worried about that...

Rivian replaced my 12v battery and HV battery at 800 miles, now at 4,200 mi I'm getting this intermittently: A full reset will clear it, but it will return after a day or so. Thoughts? (Service request submitted.)

As easy as it is for my CNC machine to become out of step with itself using a dual motor single track setup for the Y axis, I'd be weary of the dual motor setup unless it was self correcting somehow. I think a mechanically linked solution would probably be best (stiffer rod with less torsion...

I paid $107k ("used" with 200 miles) for mine, and I honestly think the price was fair (configure the same trim now and it comes out close to the same I think. Plus a year or more of waiting potentially.) My Model S Plaid was $135,000 and honestly the Rivian was built to much higher standard...

Tail light scratch can be fixed or at least minimized with a little wet sanding.

JFYI -- To get around this bug I put the truck in camp "stay on" mode -- then enable car wash mode. That seems to work at least 70% of the time for me. Just gotta remember to come back and turn off "stay on" mode once you're done.

Rivian replaced both my high and low voltage batteries at 800 miles (was just dead in my garage one morning.) Took about 11 days. Communication was mostly non-existant, no loaner, but I had another car to drive... Having said that, once I got the truck back, they did a very thorough job and I...

I have been thinking about making a product to cover the "aero" vent on the front fender of the rivian. The "PPF" they put in that spot is essentially useless and i'm wondering how much efficiency it actually accounts for long term. Or at minimum I could create a product that would add a...

I'm about two months in now w/ mine and the level 1 rate honestly has worked out just fine. A nice ~50 mile ride around town/the twisties and it only takes about 3-5 hours in the garage to re-coup the charge and it's ready to rock again at level 1. If I daily-drove a bike it would probably be a...

The main reason I keep a truck around is to haul around my various 2 wheeled obsessions: This particular adventure was to test the DC fast charger on my Livewire without getting stranded. :D The gear tunnel holds my 7 foot foldable 750lbs aluminum ramp like a dream: Sidenote -- having...

Rivian with portal axles specs: Range: Yes. Weight: Yes.

Also, CV joint wear and tear increased. These things have CV joints prone to failure already.

Interesting. I’m guessing the speaker needs a firmware update or something. I’m also guessing there is no way to do that. ?

(Software Version 2022.39.3) Lately after some extended use outside the truck, my camp speaker has been waking up when docked in the truck. It makes the wake up noise and then some other little jingle, then (sometimes) it goes back to sleep after a minute or two. I’ve tried the 30 second reset...

I know this is incredibly frustrating and it definitely shouldn’t happen on a new $~80,000 vehicle but there are a few positives. 1) You found it early. 2) It’s an incredibly easy repair for the service center to perform. Im guessing the bolt backed out and the CV shaft slipped slightly out of...

My pedestrian warning sound came in handy today. As I was getting ready to pull in my driveway I stopped as I noticed a rather young gentleman with a pair of dark sunglasses and a white cane feeling his way down the sidewalk in front of my house. He clearly heard the PWS as I was sitting still...

The Amazon trucks in my neck of the woods are now electrified (for a month or so). Today I managed to sneak a quick shot while the driver was running a package.

Yeah my guess is during reassembly of the battery/truck they must have nicked something or maybe just left something not fully plugged in — or maybe there is just a loose connector that needs dielectric grease somewhere. Either that or a software bug.

Since I got the truck back from the HV & LV battery replacement (39.3) - Once or twice a week when driving down the road or sitting in my garage I will get an alert on the Driver display that says the front camera is "off", or the front sensors are "off" - and some driver assist features are...

So Far just sport mode all the time. Im no stranger to wheelies:
