Been busy and away for a while and came back to this thread. A lot to unpack here.
Rivian owes you nothing. If I were them, I'd go back to the seller or previous owner(s) and get resolution but unlikely.
I worked for 2 major car companies that everyone would know. I initially worked in...
@EV Play - Alex - do you have a link to the puck? I didn't realize there was no GPS functionality. I looked through some of the pages here but didn't see it.
They might have only made 50. Who knows. Took longer to sell out the Dunes than I thought it would. That was a pretty good from a pricing perspective. This LE Quad is an up charge for not a lot of additional perceived value from my perspective.
As much as I like the new quad, I don't think there is a lot of pent-up demand for it. Rivian sales aren't exactly crushing it at the moment and and even more expensive EV might be a hard sell.
It does showcase what Rivian can do. I do hope it does well but I think it might be too late to the...
I've been driving an R1S with 22's instead of my R1T with the Goodyears for a few thousand miles now. I honestly can't tell you how much I miss my T with the 20" Goodyears. The only thing I like better about the S is the slightly tighter turning radius. I can't wait to get my truck back. The...
I am not saying it will break. I will say that you can't be sure that if you do have an issue that Rivian will warranty it. Tesla did until they didn't. Now they don't at all.
Rivian already seems to be harder to deal with regarding warranty claims than before, and at some point, they'll be...
I can give them later, my truck is in Rivian at the moment. Just give Ceramic FX a call. Great people to deal with.
Also welcome to see my truck in person when I get it back. I live not too far from downtown.
Even $0 glass coverage is still a claim. It isn't free and just gets added into the overall claims cost for the insurance and just drives up the costs over time.
Prevention was the name of the game for me.
I've been on the fence about tinting my sunroof. Downside is there could be a risk of cracking the glass and then warranty not covering it. There have been instances of this on the Tesla forums.
I decided against it and went tinted PPF on my sunroof instead. It was done by a local shop who did...
Add me to the I still want launch mode for my Gen 1. It has to be doing more than just lowering the truck. I timed Gen2 Trimax runs with and without it and it is faster in launch mode than just sport. My truck in sport is as quick, as a Tri in sport. So something else is going on.
I think it...
I wish you had done something like this more. I have a lot of your stuff and buy it when I can.
I have this and it has worked very well so far. Maybe you could make an improved version of this?

Just more of Gen 1 is yesterday's news. I don't see why a lot of these can be ported over to Gen 1. The more I see of these, the less likely my next truck will be a Rivian.
I've been driving a R1S quad loaner. It has the 22's on it. Honestly, I can't wait to get my truck back. It rides so horribly compared to my truck with the GY's on it. It is like the ride quality is off by 1 setting compared to my truck.
For example, on the S, sport lowest is pretty much...
Yes, they can help. I haven't tried them on my Rivian as I want it to be as good as it comes from the factory first.
My first career was as an aeronautical engineer so I am pretty familiar with them and also why I am also fixated on it being right. I didn't buy a supposedly aerodynamic vehicle...
For me the best update for my Gen 1 is to show the range as a percentage. I don't care that much about google maps as I'll be using EV Plays carplay adaptor as I like Waze the best anyway.
I"ll provide more of an update now that I have more time. I recently had to take my truck in for service. One of the things on that list was the wind noise. They didn't fix it last time and this thread covered everything I've done to chase it since then.
I went to a Rivian Club meeting a few...
