  1. If your suspension is loud - get it in for service

    I've already had the majority of my front suspension replaced once, and the clunks and bumps seemed to have gone away temporarily but seem to have returned. Maybe I put in another ticket and request the service folks focus on the driveshaft and wheel bearings as well
  2. The 2025 Rivian R1S Large pack is...uh...not so Large (or efficient)

    What's the adjusted efficiency to account for the stainless steel panels remaining attached to the vehicle for the entire trip?
  3. Phantom / Vampire Drain Solution Works! Using 12v Battery Tender

    lucky you, without the battery tender my vehicle was using on the order of 2.8-3kwh a day
  4. R2S GPT Renders

    Are you asking which source is more reliable; the company making the vehicle's press kit photos, or an LLM that generated a photo of a vehicle with a typo in the name?
  5. Airport Parking Severe Range Loss despite Transport Mode

    Have the service folks inspect your 12V battery. Dying 12V batteries are known to cause a ton of phantom drain. 8% a day is the most I've heard of, even with gear guard on nonstop.
  6. Update rant

    Have you considered that there's something wrong with your windshield, like a chip or crack or the sensor itself is misaligned? I don't think the rest of us are experiencing this issue.
  7. Vehicle Wakes and Makes Suspension Noise While Locked

    It could be, although the creaking is relatively new. It only lasts a few seconds so it's definitely possible. Got a handy guide on how best to access them and lube them?
  8. Vehicle Wakes and Makes Suspension Noise While Locked

    Wondering if anyone else has noticed this. I haven't driven my vehicle in a while (over a week) and it's driveway parked. I noticed a day or two ago that each time I leave the house and walk past the vehicle, it makes a quiet whirring noise near the front left wheel well. The doors don't unlock...
  9. Phantom / Vampire Drain Solution Works! Using 12v Battery Tender

    My car hasn't moved in over a week. Whatever it's doing to burn all that energy is entirely unnecessary and useless. The vehicle should be smart enough to know when the vehicle hasn't been driven and thus has no Driver+ data to upload, if that's even the root cause.
  10. Phantom / Vampire Drain Solution Works! Using 12v Battery Tender

    I'm parked about 10 feet below my router, I'd be surprised if there's a better possible config for a WiFi connection other than duct taping an access point to the windshield. Either way, 2 kWh of _anything_ is a ridiculous amount of power consumption when the vehicle is just sitting still
  11. Phantom / Vampire Drain Solution Works! Using 12v Battery Tender

    I put it on the 2A battery tender on Sunday, and Monday and Tuesday didn't seem to change much; still had multiple wake events for a couple hours each day. Today is the first day I haven't seen a wake event *knocks on wood*. I'll settle for one wake event every couple days if that's where my...
  12. Phantom / Vampire Drain Solution Works! Using 12v Battery Tender

    Well, I was a bit disappointed when the first couple days went by and I was still burning around 1.6-1.9kWh a day after putting it on the 2A battery maintainer, but maybe today is the first day the battery got fully topped off without interruption? Today's graph shows an almost non-stop state of...
  13. First Rivian Police Cruiser (Palo Alto) ?

    They sure seem more proud of being in Palo Alto than Irvine ?
  14. First Rivian Police Cruiser (Palo Alto) ?

    Rivian's got a corporate office in Palo Alto, which in itself is a relatively small and extremely affluent jurisdiction. They're not doing hundred mile high speed chases, and I'm sure Rivian is making a bit of a sweetheart deal here to see their vehicles patrolling their local streets.
  15. Photo: R2 body built w/ production dies! NACS charge port location = driver's side ?

    Pay attention, the world has changed significantly since then
  16. Phantom / Vampire Drain Solution Works! Using 12v Battery Tender

    I've finally caved and put my R1S on a NOCO 2A battery tender through the OBD2 port. I can't go another day with a ridiculous 2.4 kWh of phantom battery drain.
  17. R2 using Large Die Castings / Gigacasting - reveals RJ

    hey this thread seems fun, any room for one more? why hasn't anyone yell-asked me for my engineering credentials??
  18. Rivian iOS app 2.20 is out!

    Is no one else's app showing the trunk cannot be opened for some reason? Hoping this is just a glitch since the app and vehicle versions don't match and they're clearly hiding the charge port door open button until then.
  19. A Tale of Two Windshield Replacements - Service Center vs. Safelite

    This is not unusual for modern cars. Had to replace a 2021 Bronco windshield a few years back and I believe the cost was around $1100.
