You are definitely right about Rivian, this doesn't really fall on them and my collision center has said they are super helpful with parts and supporting them. The overall Rivian support seems to be solid (minus my guide, who doesn't seem to embody the Rivian message the way the rest of the team...

Right! Or spend 40k on a side by side and burn the offroad world.

Update: Man you we're completely right about this process being terrible all around. Its been a month since the accident and I still don't even have an initial damage estimate from the shop. And I chose a top tier shop. They says its going to be another two weeks before I even have an estimate...

Thank you - Honestly, I’m not sure. I’ve absolutely loved the truck but I have a hard time with the increased pricing. I’m sure insurance will make me whole but for me, I’m not sure I want to daily a 100k truck. For some reason my mind sees a difference between an 80k and 100k price point and my...

Thank you for your insights! I'm surprised they can cut the piece since the whole side of the car is one steel piece? That seems like an incredible undertaking. Right now they have me in a gladiator but depending on how the actual estimate comes back I think I will definitely push for the...

Ha, well I may have spoken to soon. While Tish was amazing my actual guide was less helpful. They basically told me to start from scratch, place a new res and hope for the best. They quoted 1-4 months for a new res. The conversation didn't have quite the same love and support, but oh well. So...

Was your son able to get into a new one or was there an issue because of ACV?

I do not have the Rivian policy. I have Statefarm, which has been really good to me however I've never had an accident where my vehicle may be totaled so I've never even thought about the ACV v RCV conversation. I need to clarify with my agent but I believe Statefarm only does ACV, from what I...

I’m so glad you got your new truck so quickly! question for you, I started the thread about the T-Boned R1T a couple days ago and I’m assuming my truck is going to be totaled as well. I should get more info tomorrow. But I’m wondering, how did the insurance convo play out with the at fault...

Yep! That’s exactly where I was headed as well. I’ve learned the hard way that 56th ave should be avoided. Apparently there are crashes at the intersection I got hit in a couple times a week. Thank you! Let’s just hope their insurance company comes through and does the right thing. I miss my truck!

Actually it was 200 times! ? the video kept looping for another 30 seconds past where I recorded ?

I’ve had that thought too. What I think is actually going to be expensive is the side impact. The side is all one piece so depending on how much damage it did under the plastic, that’s going to be the hard one. Here’s a photo of the side piece panel that has me concerned. I don’t know how you’d...

I want to add an update of praise here to the the Rivian support team. They hands down provide the best support of any company I’ve ever dealt with. I decided to call support just to front run my insurance conversation and make sure I knew what Rivian suggests for collision repair and what to do...

Yeah, I would have given them a love tap into the sidewall if things got more aggressive. As a motorcyclist myself I don’t get driving like that. You will always lose to a car. What instigated the interaction? Anything in particular? There are also just a lot of punks so I get that too.

Yes!!!

Thank you for the kind words! What I’m trying to figure out now is how they are going to even replace it like for like (assuming it’s totaled). I had a perfectly working tonneau cover which you can’t even get now. And honestly that was a big deal for me. I babied that thing to keep it working...

Also yeah, I was going 40ish, which was the speed limit on the road. These cars can really take a hit.

Yes, the dashcam automatically recorded this which was great. I hadnt gotten around to setting up drive cam yet so I was so relieved when I saw the automatic incident capture.

the driver stated she was trying to get out in traffic fair enough to see around the jeep (who was blocking the intersection view and really caused this issue. He was parked in the street. He also immediately took off after it happened without saying a word) but with the speed she went into me I...

Surprisingly no airbag deployment. I think that’s a testament to the pure safety and strength of this truck. I really felt almost nothing from the impact. That front crumple zone is no joke. It can really take a beating! the real irony is I had just left the rivian service center. I went by to...
