That sounds great — thank you so much for the offer! I’ve been wanting to drive along the coastal roads and Highway 1 for a while now, especially behind the wheel of a Rivian. It would also be really cool to try a bit of off-roading if there’s time. If everything works out schedule-wise, I’d...

Yes, I did a test drive before purchasing the vehicle — drove it through the center of Moscow and took it on the highway to see how it performed at speed. But what I meant earlier was that I’d really love to drive one in the U.S., because my Rivian doesn’t have things like Autopilot — it only...

Thanks so much for the support! I really want to visit the Golden Gate Bridge, and there’s a very good chance I’ll be passing through the area. I also have big plans to explore Silicon Valley and walk around San Francisco a bit. I’d love to try renting a Rivian while I’m there, if the...

Thanks again for the input — you’re absolutely right about wanting to eliminate as many variables as possible. Actually, I might still have a brand-new set of Ohmmu batteries lying around… unless my dad already sold them! I mistakenly thought they were sold individually when I ordered, but they...

Thanks for the info! That actually explains a lot. I was surprised how small and basic the original batteries looked when I took them out. You’re absolutely right — it’s wild how Rivian charges a premium for what essentially seems like a $40 part. For now, I’m not planning to look for...

Wow, that’s incredibly kind of you — thank you. I really appreciate it, especially after everything that’s happened with the Rivian. It means a lot to know there are people out there who genuinely care and support others in this community. I’ll definitely let you know once I’m in the U.S. —...

The 12V batteries are completely dead, so I gave them to a specialist who’s currently working on restoring them. For now, there’s no progress — without the batteries, I can’t do anything. They should be ready by Monday, so I’m just waiting until then.

Since the car is not at a service center but at home — and we had heavy rain all day today — I wasn’t able to do much except disconnect the 12V batteries. For now, we have the following plan: 1. Tomorrow morning, I’ll remove the 12V batteries and put them on charge. 2. We’ll see what happens...

Thank you so much for the info — now all that’s left is the easy part: updating 😊

At this point, the shadow ban on the car doesn’t really matter, since the team from the UAE is updating everything offline without any interaction with Rivian’s servers. The real issue now is that we’ve uncovered some deeper problems with the car itself — it turns out there are quite a few...

From what I see, there doesn’t seem to be any major issue with those batteries aside from their limited lifespan. I went through the threads but didn’t find anything particularly useful. The first-generation Rivian seems to drain these 12V batteries pretty aggressively — probably because they...

Also, I spoke with a technician, and he told me that the car should be able to function fully and receive updates even with replaced modules, as long as everything is programmed and installed correctly.

I also wanted to mention a very strange phenomenon I’ve been experiencing with this vehicle. Before I installed the new Ohmmu 12V batteries, everything was working normally — I drove about 200 km without any issues. After installing them, I started noticing some strange behavior: sometimes the...

I have launch charger. (photo below). I can provide 100A

Honestly, I have no idea who brought the car to Russia, for what reason, or how exactly it ended up here. I bought it in Moscow. There’s a person named Alo who imports Rivians into Europe. This is a Facebook post with my actual vehicle in it, apparently being prepared for shipment to Europe...

The car was connected to a charger the entire time during the update — specifically to a 12V support charger made for situations like this. After the update was completed, we disconnected it, and then all possible errors popped up. The car stopped moving, the hood wouldn’t open, and shortly...

Most likely, the car will drive again soon. I removed the 12V batteries and saw they were almost fully discharged (~11.9V). I’ve actually had a similar situation before, where the car wouldn’t move because of a low 12V battery — so there’s a good chance it’ll come back to life, just probably...

I honestly don’t know how to sell it at this point. Today, the guys from the UAE will most likely try to bring all the modules back to life through reprogramming, and then I’ll do my best to sell it — not for $100,000 of course, but maybe in the $70–80k range. Most likely everything will be...

Thank you very much!

Now I’ve got some really bad news — the car is basically dead. I can’t even shift it into Drive anymore. The update went through, but not all the modules were successfully flashed, and that’s it. The guy from the UAE is completely lost right now and doesn’t understand what’s going on either...
