Do yourself a favor and research Lucid. In my opinion, they have the best drivetrain. It even looks like they are becoming a Tier 1 supplier for other manufacturers. I am not fond of the looks of the Air, but it is an amazing sedan to drive. My next new vehicle will probably be the Lucid...
I had a squeal last night. After reviewing this forum a bolt on metal made sense. I was able to take mine out the rest of the way with my fingers. Obviously, there is no thread lock on it.
Mine has been making this sound for almost a year. I have 24,884 miles on it. I also brought it to the service center6 months ago. They did not fix it. I will watch this thread and maybe try and fix it myself.
I have a performance Y and a Quad. The Y sits in the garage and does an occasional errand with my wife if I am not home. The gen 1 quad is 1.5 seconds quicker 0 to 60. My thing is I like the physics of a quad. There are no transmissions, transfer cases, and in the case of the quad, not even...
Think of it as buying a flashlight that puts 800 lumins one two AA batteries. That same flashlight has the ability to put out 1000 lumin on the 4v rechargeable cell.
The max battery can put more power to the motors than the large pack.
it does not make sense for Rivian to make a smaller battery...
I have had my April 23 build for 1 year and 20,000 miles. Mine gets warm in the Frunk as well. There is no conditioned air getting in there, and most of the heat generated by the truck is dissipated up there.
I have also noticed the “burning” smell in there as well. I even took the tub out to...
The Rivian is controlling the volume on my phone. When I leave the truck, my volume on my phone stays at the highest level. It scares the crap out of my wife when someone calls me, either when I am in the truck or after I leave.
When I get in my truck, my iPhone always goes to the highest ringtone level. I lower it on the phone, and almost instantly, it goes back to max. I currently have an iPhone 15 Pro Max. It did it with my iPhone 14 Pro Max as well. I think I have had this problem since I purchased the truck in...
By law, Rivian would have to prove the your choice of adapter caused the failure. If the adapters, in reality are pretty much identical, like motor oils that created this law, Rivian would lose and could wind up in a class action. They do not need, or want that kind of negative publicity.
I...
I ad to remove my right passenger seat back. There was a bolt holding the seat back that was cross threaded either from the factory , or service. I sued a tap and fixed the threads. The rattle is gone now,
I have had my R1T for 1 year and 20,000 miles now.
Ironically, my daughter’s Y battery failed last week. Coming back from Rivian service today, I decided to drop in to Tesla and buy two batterie, one for each Y. Since my R1T is a May build, I should have bought one for it too. I am keeping my Wife’s Y battery as a hot spare on a float charge...
I needed a vehicle that would tow 11,000 lb. The R1T is the same wheel base as a suburban and the R1S is the same as a Tahoe. I would have preferred the R1S+ over the R1T as anything that needs to go in the truck bed, in reality goes in one of my trailers.
I want to go directly from a 400VDC solar array to a small (10KWH) 400VDC backup battery, and my 400VDC Rivian battery. Then there is no loss converting or inverting. That all needs to be bidirectional. Then from 400VDC invert to 240VAC for the house. A 20KW inverter would then require 6ga...
I would do it over again. If the refresh has a quad motor that is 1000 hp, I will be doing it over again. I am not a truck person, but have always towed with anything from a Miata to a Model Y. I needed real towing ability. This truck was the answer. I tow between 7000lb and 10,500 lb on a...
My wife’s app is functioning normally. It happened Feb 2nd and March 21st. February, I was in Dallas, and now, I am out of country. The app might not like the IP address my signal is coming from.
I will creat a trouble ticket for it and see what RJ’s crew an do to fix it.
