This sounds very much like a drivetrain/power/issue, which should be covered by the 8 year, 175k mile warranty. I wouldn't start sweating the 60k

The hub knuckle TSB seems to have mostly fixed my clunking. It's at least drastically reduced and VERY rare these days.

That looked EXCEPTIONALLY fun! Man, I live in the wrong area of the country... I do think the R1S would've appeared even more impressive if he would've aired down to the recommended 31 psi. The fact that they did that much rock crawling and didn't have a blowout with full inflation is pretty...

It's very likely Rivian is trying to avoid the Osbourne effect by not committing to an exact date for the Gen2 Quad. (Assuming a decent percentage of people grabbing the TriMax would also be cross-shopping the QuadMax but are FOMO-types and would rather have it now). Or they simply haven't...

Which part of Virginia are you in? I work just north of Baltimore, for context. Wondering if you're within a reasonable distance from where I travel.

Indeed. There's currently debate as to how to interpret this. On one hand, all Wassym really committed to was being able to swap OEM tire+wheel sets (if you read into it). IT would be *nice* if those of us who swapped to 275/60R20 (or other nonOEM sizes) could get that last 0.3% compensation...

OK, I'm now about 90% convinced I need to adopt Home Assistant...

I don't think it's been posted to the forums, but NERC has put out an email about a meetup for Club Members that's being hosted: Friday, February 21 from 5:30-7:30 If you're not already a NorthEast Rivian Club member, maybe it's a good time to consider joining. My understanding is there will...

I don't have data on one of those brands versus another, but for everyone's consideration when it comes to *quality* of brake pads and why it IS important: Any/all brake pads will be required to meet DOT regulations and minimum performance specifications for safety and use, obviously. But...

Of course not. He thinks wheelbarrows have brakes!!

MOST OF THE TIME, it pays to pay yourself. What do I mean by this? Take the money you'd put into an extended warranty and invest it into total market, or somewhere with a pretty good rate of return. Don't touch it. <--THIS is the key point. It's a bell curve. 67% of the time, that money...

Higher wear NOTWITHSTANDING, Brakes should ABSOLUTELY NOT wear unevenly. From an engineering perspective, this is a floating caliper. It 'glides' on the pins that OP showed in his post. It should be imparting equal pressure to both sides of the system. Not only for 'even wear' but, as...

The mallet is also a legitimate approach if all else fails. WE've ALL been there, especially as a shadetree mechanic wrenching on my own cars in high school!

In my experience, with past vehicles, that screw isn't holding anything to anything. That's a threaded hole there included in such a way that you can insert another bolt (with the same thread diameter and pitch) and as you 'tighten' the bolt, it 'pushes' the rotor away from the hub. It's...

That's what I was thinking; and similar to the 2-wire 9V hack I used on my Volvo.

I had thought through a similar (or towing mode), but I've both heard and actually experienced my vehicle spontaneously coming out of car wash mode, so this does leave me a tad unsettled... Good to know, but $350 for the privilege of working on brakes like ...twice, is dumb. Should be like...

So, you didn't mention but: 1- I assume you greased those pins before reinserting, yes? They shouldn't go in clean. In fact, most of the (hopeful) hypothesizing around why there's uneven wear (because uneven brake wear is NOT normal on a floating caliper system) is due to the pins not being...

March 2023 and my battery was proactively replaced (I didn't even know they added it to the work order until service mentioned it to me) last month during a service for another issue. Along with 2 other TSBs. I was at 35,7xx miles. ? Now I'm over 36k and really hope I don't get to experience...

I'd totally wear these. However, I do not have (and will not sign up for) Instagram and the like. And custom shoes are DEFINITELY outside of my price range. I don't even need to ask for custom shoe pricing. I'll stick to my no-frills Under Armour TriBase Reign or Reebok Nanos with military...
