Sounds like bad CV’s

As they say on Tesla forums—the charger is in the truck, the wall CONNECTOR is what provides power to the charger. True of all EV’s. So if wall CONNECTOR provides 40A, and your truck is set to 48A, it will only charge at 40A. If truck is set to 32A and the CONNECTOR is providing 40A, you will...

Third the don’t worry about it.

The battery has a warranty that will outlive your ownership of the truck. Going to zero on a several occasions won’t do anything that you would be able to calculate to perceive. It’s all internet non-sense. Don’t leave it at 0 for months on end but 0 for a few days won’t harm it long term...

Huge overreaction to complain about SOC. If they kill the battery and return it to you with less than you need to get to a L3 charger, that’s one thing. Letting it drain sitting there is no biggie as another user indicated. Small potatoes. That’s like saying the Ford detailed needs to add gas...

I’m half way considering the EX90 Volvo. Smaller than R1S but potential to be better equipped and more comfortable for on the road travels. Unfortunately, most of the EV’s are 6 figures. R1S is too if you don’t have pre-March pricing. Hoping Volvo can hit their target without dealer mark ups...

As close to V2H as you will ever get.

No one just rolls a truck. No one hides the details like this if they didn’t play a part. Op is dumb fool. Alcohol and speed are top two contributors to vehicle wrecks. I’m betting they were combined. No seatbelt? Are they really that uncomfortable you can’t click it on? I don’t get that. Sounds...

Subtract terminal value of the 21” though which will drop your ROI to 60k more like it. But 20” tires in LT format may last longer than what 21” is giving so ROI is 40k ish miles.

Wow… lmao

Happy to get the 2 motor R1S over the quad. Less to go wrong I’d think. The enhanced mode will still be as quick as most EV on the market and still spank most EV performance oriented vehicles (MYP, MMEGTP)

Lease a Chevy Bolt?

It doesn’t because you’re limited to 200hp from one motor when the other isn’t in traction. 200hp to move 7000 pounds is asking a lot. Now, 400hp going to one wheel is a different story and much more usable power.

At this point I see no advantage to quad motor design. The lack of a diff means off-road is less than worthy if one wheel has traction and the other doesn’t. Seems like more opportunities to fail. Slight power advantage negates ability to apply differential torque to one wheel. Other than party...

Bay Area. The cheapest plan rate has $0.25/kWh but it is $0.60/kWh between 2p and 9p. Current is between $0.36 and $0.49 winter/summer.

Now is the time to sell!!

So…about 600kwh per year of usage. That’s insane. What a waste of energy. In California, that’s $250-300/yr just in idle state. Where we live, equivalent to 1 solar panel needed just for idle state of truck.

First photo I’ve seen with 21” tires.

sounds like all typical Rivian problems from factory. Why it’s still an issue is beyond me. Good luck with service. No answer for your app issues.
