POST Service Update #1:
Tomorrow in the daylight I want to take photos and inspect closer. but (not that anyone cares) I did want to update since the return of the vehicle was fairly quick compared to nightmares I have read online.
It was towed to shop on Friday (holiday weekend). Had...
UPDATE: I had it towed directly to the Service Center, which was a good idea since the Corporate Service had me scheduled on Dec 15th ... the AZ SC looked at it today and should have it fixed by tomorrow they said.
BUT still "discussing" with them that I think it should be warranty work, I was...
Mine were wildly different when airing up with the compressor... Set compressor at 48 and had 46, 47, 50, and 51
I got home used a separate gauge and had them all 48, cold mornings they drop to like 44, but driving home in afternoon heat they all hit 51. I understand temps and pressures, but...
Can hope! So far they sent a $0 diagnosis estimate
Journey so far. called for a tow truck and my daughter to come pick us dumb boys up (about 45 minutes away); while waiting I put in a Rivian ticket with the photo, Called Roadside assistance and explained, they turned request into an...
Yup had the gauge view and 100% from steering box and not wheels... Both were rotating on the graphic, but passenger wheel wasn't making at all in reality
Yeah, didn't really think about that... But I am not about to be completely dishonest, if they (probably) search the forums and tie it back to me, that would be aggressive. But I mean they advertise it as "adventurous" call it RALLY mode... I wasn't jumping it or hitting any speed, so...
I don't think so, that part I was careful, didn't hit anything, took it like supposed to.... Done that trails many times successfully, that tie rod is not getting exposed
Getting the part was my concern, sitting waiting for tow truck I wasn't even sure how to investigate Rivian parts ordering.
Waiting I called Rivian and they said them or their collision service contractors... So I called their recommended collision center near me and they said they send all...
Definitely wasn't just driving on gravel road .. was doing donuts in a gravel parking lot on the way back from some off-roading.
Was attempting to recreate the tank turn video to excite my kids and it was fun for a bit.
Overall it was a good day, that ended with a thud. Slow and steady rock...
Rivian Service appointment scheduled........ Dec 15th 10:45am
They asked if 10:45 am would work ... I said it will be sitting in your parking lot from the moment the tow truck drops it off, so 10:45am should be fine ?
It was mostly my own doing... But definitely didn't expect it. I switched into Rally Mode in a gravel parking lot and was spinning donuts with the kids... Didn't hit anything, probably just tried starting the final turn a bit too quick attempting some extra excitement.
Well, showing off for my teenage sons and ended poorly needing a tow.
Not sure how much this will cost me?
Or how long need to wait for parts/service in AZ?
Updated: Added the repaired photo and sharing link to VIDEO of the incident (truck is back all is good)
At first I was gonna say I would stop by... but they are MADE in AZ ... you aren't located in AZ.... Good luck and hopefully you can find a few takers to help out, it would be a fun weekend morning project, then take them out and enjoy them!
We will see if it was worth the wait; definitely glad I was in before price hikes, not sure I would pull the trigger again at the current price.
Definitely look great, install was easy-ish with all bolt on with factory bolts, no modifications to the truck was plus.
I really was in the same...
Ordered in March arrived Nov 18 ... long wait;
Really super easy install with the instructions; Definitely a workout, but straight forward and great instructions.
ONLY issue was for the 13MM bolt next to Rear tire instructions say:
"Loosen most forward 13mm hex head flange bolt at rear...
I used to always do them on my other vehicles, but since I couldn't on the wife's Tesla without a 2nd floor jack (or the $220 Teslarati jack stands, great solution but ridiculous price) and the fact Discount Tire does it for free and there are several nice eateries within walking distance; I...
With one of the latest software updates, my charge port won't open with the button. So yes it's annoying I can't open it with the app, but not difficult to reach in and open, but I still put in a service ticket because it was an unexpected change.
Details if anyone has similar: I park inside...
