If the service center is close by, I'd try stopping by. It should only take them 5 minutes to snap it back, unless someone broke the retaining tabs. You might take fresh cookies with you to grease the process. From your description either a tab or two got broken or something is out of place...

Aliens! Watch Close Encounters, you will be beamed up soon.

Discount Tire and reputable, what a laugh! I've had them destroy the dust boots on my steering rack because they were lazy and didn't remove the clamps before adjusting tie rod ends. I had them destroy brake lines hoses by letting the calipers drop when the calipers were removed ftom the...

Last time I checked, my R1T has a brake pedal, and it works! I assume your Rivian has a brake pedal as well???? If my motors were getting into the "red zone" going down a steep hill, I'd consider applying the brakes and slowing down or stopping using the brakes (made for this sort of thing)...

So a couple of things to consider that might help you find the issue. First, have you tried streaming with Bluetooth from your phone and driving around the areas where you seem to have the skipping reversing issues? If it is specific to the cell coverage, I would guess your phone is going to...

I guess a tornado around San Francisco, or the other weather oddities we've seen lately aren't yet enough of a wakeup call for a larger percentage of our population. Oil is a finite resource, one way or the other, we will end up with an electrified world; let's just hope that the oil runs out...

My understanding is a lot of the companies making inverters buy the hardware and add their own so In talking with SolArk's tech support, since we don't know what Rivian is going to deliver, it is a little difficult to talk about how to interface a Rivian to any system out there. The engineer...

One of the closest products I've seen that will handle what you are looking to do is made by SolArk https://www.sol-ark.com I have micro-inverters on my solar array so I'd need a way to feed AC to whatever inverter I invest in. SolArk has a couple of inputs for AC coupling, they can interface...

And what year vehicles are you talking about? I may be older than you. I remember when people would hang a canvas bag filled with water in front of the radiator to keep the engine from overheating, if that gives you an idea of my vintage. I had a pickup from the 80's that had some of the...

You need to get a multimeter/voltmeter and check that you have 12 volts at the relay. Then make sure you've got 12 volts going to the horn. Did you plug the Y connector for the original horn and the relay in correctly? You need to trigger the relay with the power from the original wiring...

Did you check the fuse?

I ordered the Real Wheels horn upgrade kit and added it to my 2022 R1T. I ran into an issue with the high voltage cables in the driver's wheel well area. My HV cables run in the area where the horn was supposed to go. Without major modifications there was no way the horn was going to fit the...

ICE vehicles not all that long ago couldn't go more than a couple hundred miles because they got 8 to 10 mpg. I remember a lot more gas stations and more frequent stops for fuel. This only changed as engine technology got a lot better. It only took 100 years. Given modern batteries and all...

Well if you don't want the ability to shut down devices that you don't really want draining the batteries needlessly when the power goes out, you can probably do without the smart panel, and use a priority panel that works in conjunction with the transfer switch. Think about this.....your...

Very true, but you forgot one thing...... When the rat eats the 400 volt insulation and fries and starts a big fire, the house burns down, along with the rat's nest and all of the little baby rats die in the fire so natural selection does take place. No rats were harmed in making this post........

The service manager at my local SC told me about a couple who had a rat infested R1S and spent similar money as the rat ate most of the insulation off the 12 volt wires. He said the critters really like EVs and suggested we put in a couple of traps to make sure we don't end up with a huge bill...

I think you are seeing the true cost of V2H and V2G. I've looked into this fairly deeply and there are a number of issues that make this much more complicated than slapping another box on the wall and calling it good. Depending on your infrastructure this can get VERY complex. Systems I've...

With Emporia's Vue installed in your electrical panel you can monitor up to 16 circuits plus if you have the EV charger from Emporia, it will talk to the Vue. With their app I can graph any of the 16 circuits, the whole house consumption (with and without the solar generation) or the EV's...

Unless Rivian has told you something different, 2000 contacts is not a lot of data in today's world; unless you have some other data attached to each contact that is bloating the dataset. Most likely you have something else going on as it should take just a few seconds to transfer your contact...

I purchased TWraps front end protection, including 1/2 the hood, the full flat front including the LED light bars and headlights, the door handles, door sills, and mirrors. I had never done PPF before. The headlights were a dream, went on without any issues. I had some trouble with areas...
