  1. Brake System Malfunction & Limp Mode - 19MPH

    I did a 100 mile drive in a Model X *from* the Tesla service center after picking up my "fixed" vehicle for the 5th time....at a max speed of 47 MPH. It would not go faster and I had no other way to get home. I thought 47 was bad, but 19 would quadruple the frustration.
  2. ? LIMESTONE R1S Photos

    I bought it "used" since I needed something ASAP to replace my 2023 Model X that was a lemon. (that I waited 1.5 years for after ordering). Now it is time for some PPF, tint, and possibly running boards so my toddlers can get in!

  4. New R1S joins our R1T - great experience so far

    It's spent 3 months in service where it obtains more new defects than get resolved on every visit. It'll be lemoned any day now.
  5. New R1S joins our R1T - great experience so far

    As an MX owner for the past 7 months, I would avoid that car like the plague....and ESPECIALLY because it has the falcon wing doors. I thought those were cool too, until I had to use them daily with two toddlers. Getting them to open all the way is a numbers game (and this is with no...
  6. NEMA 5-20 option?

    BINGO. For another data point, on one of my prior Model S's, I actually set the amps to 7 for nearly 24 hours because of a bad circuit that was causing so much voltage sag at 12 amps that I was concerned about overheating a wire (10 volt drop). Those 7 amps resulted in about 1 mile of charging...
  7. NEMA 5-20 option?

    33% does not take into account the charging overhead that doesn't increase with the additional amperage. It's certainly more than a 33% increase in power actually going into the battery. P.S. 124 volts at my house . 249 across the 240 with no load.
  8. what charger plug to order?

    Emporia makes a great charger that comes with a 14-50 plug AND can be hardwired too so you can switch it later as needed. I've been using one for a year. Their app has tons of usage data and alerts too.
  9. Has anyone received their refund for an amended 2022 federal tax return?

    The refund stemming from my 2021 amended return also had a 16 week ETA. It was actually 40 weeks. You may be waiting for a long, long time.
  10. ?️ [Updated Delivery Estimate Windows Announced!-- 4/28/23] Happy updated delivery estimate window week!

    Jan 2023 order. I got the email...and it has literally no ETA on it. When I placed the order, it said late 2024. Based on some comments above, that seems extremely unlikely now.
  11. When will Rivian admit that avoiding AA/Carplay is not about providing "better" UX?

    Yes. Google maps becomes completely unusable. Can't even open the app. Can't search for anything. Can't set a destination. Only solution is stopping the car and turning it off. It's terrible. Honestly, it is similar to most automakers infotainment systems (besides Rivian and Tesla that I know...
  12. When will Rivian admit that avoiding AA/Carplay is not about providing "better" UX?

    I am not an apple user, but getting into a rental car and plugging in my android phone and seeing it connect to android auto instills rage in me. I don't want my phone locked and unable to be used any time it is plugged in. Having to bring a cigarette lighter charger just to keep the phone from...
  13. Illinois Sell my 2023 R1s

    Cars and Bids' fee is paid by the buyer, so the final sales price is actually the amount paid to the seller.
  14. My Rivian completely dead from ~40% vampire drain after a month long vacation

    I have another data point. My Model X has just sat at the service center (again) since 2/27 and I am picking it up tonight. 87% charge on 2/27 as per a screenshot I took of the app that day, and now it is at 20%. Sentry is turned off. It's literally sat with no activity for 15 days...and lost...
  15. My Rivian completely dead from ~40% vampire drain after a month long vacation

    It has been in service for something like 75 days out of the 110 days I've owned it...hence why I am lemoning the X and ordered a Rivian.
  16. My Rivian completely dead from ~40% vampire drain after a month long vacation

    I doubt it is broken. I have owned three Model S's and one Model X. All lost a few percent a day at minimum. The best was my 2016 Model S before they added all the cameras. That one lost ~3% a day. My 2019 S and 2023 X both will die in under a month from 80%.
  17. My Rivian completely dead from ~40% vampire drain after a month long vacation

    If it makes you feel better, my new Model X sat at the service center for an extended repair and went from ~60% to 0% in 15 days.
  18. New R1S owner (former Model Y owner) in Flagstaff, AZ

    Well, my wife and I just ordered an R1S...for trail running purposes too...after lemoning a Model X that was falling apart on us. It is gonna be a long wait! P.S. Nice YTD vert. LOL!
