  1. Rivian vs deer. Repair cost?

    It is complete and I am happy. The facility provides a life time warranty on the repairs, so I guess if something falls off they put on or the paint fades, I can take it back. I hope it is not $45k, but with the way things run it might be.
  2. Rivian vs deer. Repair cost?

    Sorry, should have been more precise. Don’t take to a non-Rivian approved. I think it made the job of the approved shop harder getting the amount to repair.
  3. Rivian vs deer. Repair cost?

    A end of ordeal post. I dropped the truck off 11/25 initial estimate $3062.88 (local State Farm approved shop). Took to Rivian approved location and the final is Right at $8,000. Lesson learned, don’t take to an approved shop first, I think that caused more probelms than it helped. Crash...
  4. Hit a deer

    I clipped a deer on 11/15, took it for repair on 11/25 and it is still there. I realize there were 3 major holidays in between, so many missed work days. Current estimate is a little over $6,000. I expect it to go up some since there were more items found when the dug in to the damage. Hopefully...
  5. Rivian vs deer. Repair cost?

    Ouch, sorry to hear that. Hope all the humans are ok. Last estimate I got was $6208. The repair shop said there were a couple of extra items to be added, so i assume the price will go up a bit more. On an another note. I took the truck for repair on Nov 25th and the repair is not complete yet...
  6. What happens if update is skipped

    Thanks all. I figured that Rivian had enough time to sort something like this out.
  7. What happens if update is skipped

    My truck is being repaired and the update (43) showed up after it went in. I now see a new update and my truck is not expected back u til after the new year. Am I going to have issues if an update is skipped? Will I get back-to-back updates?
  8. This crash totaled my R1-T watch video!

    I don't think the law is that black/white. I was told in a driving class I took while employed, that if a person turned right on red and you hit them, it was their fault due to not yielding the right of way. I think that would apply in this situation as well. If you are in a lane of travel...
  9. Rivian vs deer. Repair cost?

    Just an update. I dropped off my R1T at Crash Champions near Nashville. My estimator was not available today, hopefully I will get an estimate before Thanksgiving. I wandered around the lot and saw a R1T twin in the back. It looked like it will need a bumper as well. I also got my NACS adapter...
  10. This crash totaled my R1-T watch video!

    I assume all were safe, which is good. I am surprised that the air bags didn’t go off with that kind of accident.
  11. Rivian vs deer. Repair cost?

    The road was 2 lanes. There was an entry lane from I-24, for a small amount of time.
  12. Rivian vs deer. Repair cost?

    Thanks for the information and encouragement. The shop I am dealing with said they will get the money from the insurance. Right now it is estimated at 4 weeks. ??
  13. Rivian vs deer. Repair cost?

    I hope they don’t do that, but since these folks work on Rivians, I bet they will.
  14. Rivian vs deer. Repair cost?

    Thanks for the information. I was just told it would be approximately 4 weeks, so to 100% before it leaves home it is. I think I will turn off Gear Guard Gary.
  15. Rivian vs deer. Repair cost?

    On a related note. The preferred Rivian repair shops said it would probably be several weeks for the repair. What SOC should I have the truck at when I go? Understand approximately 65 miles with some freeway driving. I estimate it will take about 20% to get there.
  16. Rivian vs deer. Repair cost?

    Just a quick update. I have State Farm and they have repair facilities they work with, but none in my area are Rivian certified. I took the truck to one of these facilities to try to move the process. The estimate they gave was $2800. Will see what the repair shop goes to.
  17. Rivian vs deer. Repair cost?

    When I have watched my original video the truck coming at us barely missed the deer. The deer doesn’t look like it went straight across, but at an angle. I think if the other vehicle had hit the deer, we probably would have had it in the windshield. Good job on the avoidance. Your deer was much...
  18. Rivian vs deer. Repair cost?

    it turns out I had it on normal, I bumped it to early. i hope I never have to test it again.
  19. Rivian vs deer. Repair cost?

    My truck has warned of things in front before, I wonder if the deer was just too small to register? I am pretty sure I have all warnings turned on, but it may not be to the highest setting.
