R1S roof shade and +1 for 3rd row cover

Yep, they figured out a while back that they needed a small lithium battery for Gear Guard and system startup that had more capacity than a small lead acid 12V battery.

Ahh..I see it now. Wide angle lens makes the two R1S much wider looking than the R1T 😂

Is the middle one an R2? 😮 It's smaller than the left/right ones....

Was it configured to charge only to 80%? If it happens again, hit the horn so it saves logs and ask Rivian to look at it.

Was the battery full? It won't do regen braking if so, unless you have brake blending turned on.

I assume you tried a hard reset?

The Rivian SC pucks are bigger than regular jack pucks too 😔

Tesla eventually figured out they needed a smaller LFP battery to replace the 12V battery system...it's useful for their Gear Guard/Sentry feature too. Other EV makers like Hyundai and Kia have also been hit with early 12V battery failures so it's not just Rivian. Hopefully we'll see a small...

Does it have the latest updates? They use Google maps underneath now ..

TIL...it sounded good. Surprised they added extra complexity for insignificant gains...🤔

Not really a surprise... Much more efficient motors...better aero...700lbs lighter... No speed limiter at 130...a few more horsepower. If anything, I was surprised how close the quad was...I thought the Lucid would easily beat it. And the Panemera was a surprise... Didn't think an ICE car...

FWIW, I've read stories about it dying on the way home from initial pickup and also it dying within the first week of ownership. It's sad that this happens but it does happen occasionally even on ICE cars...

Curious if you tested parking mode and simulating a bump by another car?

If the megawatts took the brunt of it, there is probably frame damage... 😞 On the bright side, it did it's duty and no one got hurt...

FWIW, this happens with dashcams too...they sometimes don't record if the impact is sudden enough. That said, I agree Gear Guard should have worked...running a backup dashcam isn't a bad idea though...

No...this is called a min version...
