  1. R1S Deer Hit ? | Need Recs for a Certified Repair Shop

    Dorn's in Mechanicsville. VA. Haven't used them for body work. Been Rivian certified for more than a year. Got my inspection done there. Seemed very professional. FWIW.
  2. Does Rivian have what it takes to survive?

    It's a complete waste of time for individuals lacking substantive knowledge or expertise to engage in speculative discourse on a subject they do not fully understand. This forum is not made more valuable by posts like this. And there have been far too many already.
  3. Gen2 rear headrests - moveable?

    Thanks. Here's something I'll be posting about in a few days. It's a way to have the armrest console organizer lift up and slide back using just one hand. I've been using one in my R1S for almost a year. It's a bit more involved than the headrest tool :)
  4. Gen2 rear headrests - moveable?

    I'm the guy who designed the head restraint removal tool. If you can't print it yourself I print them and sell them. $25 includes shipping. DM me and I can fix you up. :)
  5. Existing EV batteries may last up to 40% longer than expected, says Stanford report

    Like we needed an excuse :). A friend pointed out that while there may be a posted speed limit, there's no acceleration limit.
  6. Center console not opening

    Perfect for sunglasses. Even has a soft lining. I use it all the time.
  7. Center console not opening

    That's great. Can't wait for the post where a guy makes one then puts it in the center console so it would be right where he needs it when the time comes.
  8. Center console not opening

    I'd carefully shoot some dry lube on the hinge points. Those lid halves should fly right open.
  9. Center console not opening

    One side of mine stopped working. Fortunately the other side continued to work. The buttons on the armrest are just switches that trigger the latches to release. Mobile service replaced the entire lid assembly (meaning both left and right halves). If I had to guess I'd say the switch was failing...
  10. Shout out to Rivian SC in San Antonio

    Outstanding. Very nice to hear about the times when it works the way we all wish it would.
  11. The Truth About Reliability

    I've read all 65 posts in this thread, the key word in the title of which is 'Reliability.' In many of these posts the word 'reliability' often seems to be conflated with build quality, fit and finish, infotainment/connectivity issues, service wait times, and even poor communication with Rivian...
  12. The Truth About Reliability

    Please would you share with us the 'raw data' you mention.
  13. The Truth About Reliability

    It will be interesting to know what the failure was and if that failure was such that there was no point in trying to jump the 12v system. And, if that's the case, how did Rivian Tech know that 'remotely.'
  14. The Truth About Reliability

    Can you tell us what the failure was that you experienced? Were you able to unlock the vehicle? Was the vehicle dragged onto the flat bed with the wheels not rolling (in neutral)?
  15. The Truth About Reliability

    To me, reliability means being able to count on the vehicle getting me to my destination and back—never having doubts. I would love to see data showing the number of major Rivian failures (e.g. 12v battery failure, anything that prevented the vehicle for being driven, anything that required a...
  16. Navigation is like MapQuest

    It's been good for me. Couple trips to South Carolina. One to Florida with multiple stops. Tons of local-ish stuff. No issues.
  17. 21” Pirelli burst - Defect?

    Perhaps it's unrelated but looking at the photos (nice photos, BTW), there is some yellowish discoloration starting just before the damage, more around the split area, then decreasing after the split. Also some damage to the trailing edge of the lug in front of the split. I would be interested...
  18. 2nd row headrest removal difficult?

    Glad you like it. I had a mobile service last week and showed the tool to the tech. He was amazed. He must of done it a half dozen times, shaking his head and grinning.
