I was hit in the rear end and sustained minor damage, but the vehicle being a Rivian the repair was expensive. I received $25,000 DV as well as $100.00 a day in loss of use. Getting an independent DM value is a good start. Assuming it’s the other persons insurance that’s trying to low ball you.
I have a 2023 QM R1S, coming from Porsche Bose system and MB Burmiester, the stock Rivian non Meridian sounds awful, my solution was a complete rebuild using the original head control unit but adding Alpine speakers, 8 inch sub in its own cabinet and equalizer Alpine PXE-60, Optim 6. Now my...
I’ve now tried twice in the last 2 weeks to use the TS, to no avail. Is anyone else having this issue. The message is “unplug and try again” which I’ve done each time. I’ve gone to several charges when one doesn’t work and I face the same issue. I’m using the Tesla charging application.
I felt the same way, however you need to use a company that researches how to work with EV's and Rivian specifically. While I spent a lot of money, it was worth it as the stock stereo sounds terrible.
I upgraded as follows:
Alpine Optim 8
Alpine Type R2 6 1/2 and 6 x 9
Alpine Sub RSB 10
Sound deaden all dorrs, replaced all wires with 4
Bypassed the factory amp.
Sounds amazing...
I have a 2023 G1 R1S and after listening to the non meridian stereo for 18 months I capitulated and purchased a completely new system that uses the existing head unit and replaces all the speakers, adds a 10" woofer in the back and uses the Alpine PXE-C80-88 amplifier EQ. I replaced all the...
I had a similar thing happen to me, although I was paying a bank loan.
all good questions!
Absolutely ask for diminished value, I’m not sure where the funds go, your leasing company or you, the at fault insurance company will let you know.
The car will definitely be worth less at the end of...
I had a similar experience with my R1, my damage was on the drivers side (which involves more internal parts) make sure to bring your R1 to an authorized Rivian repair shop. Not sure what state you live in, but I would try your best to have the other guys insurance cover the full cost of repair...
Unfortunately I have first hand experience with damaged R1, I would be surprised if this wasn't totaled. My R1 had minor damage to the rear qtr panel and lift gate and the repair was over $ 60,000 and the diminished value was over $ 20,000.00. If you didn't cause the accident you should be...
Final repair cost $60,540 plus a diminished value check for $24,400, plus $100.00/day loss of use payment.
I’m grateful to have the truck back, but terrified I’ll get hit again! I can’t imagine what the resale price is if carfax lists the repair charges.
Received a check for $24,440 for diminished value, although I think they made a mistake and paid me twice what I was due, however since I accepted the offer they honored it.
