Why do you hate the Northeast, Rivian!?!

I got my corner repaired at Rivian service center today, with their local PDR guy doing the work. Was told he does this repair all the time so you know it will save a lot of time and trouble. Afterwards their "detailer" (probably whatever kid washes the cars) touched up the paint. Amazingly...

Funny enough, Rich's video this week covers exactly this topic:

I can read the data from the motors.

Just a quote or did they actually repair it for that price? Seems way too sharp a fold to repair cheaply

150 is plenty! The problem is they won't let you sustain it for much longer than a minute, and it will keep falling and hold to around 30kW. Which is still enough for a gentle slope but not for anyone who lives on a steep hill. I don't think it's inverter heat at all, but I will specifically...

This is sadly normal. Of course it's much worse if your charge is in the top 20% or pack is cold, but even at room temp and 70% SOC I will only get about 1/3 down my hill till regen drops to about 30kW. It very much depends on how steep and sustained your hill is, in my case very steep for the...

Talk to your Rivian Service Center and ask if they have a PDR person. I have a scratch and dent in the same spot, thanks to my valet, and I pointed it out to service and they said they have a local PDR guy that takes them out in that spot all the time, then touch it up. A few hours and a few...

Rivian did say they recently switched to one 12v battery. SURE WOULD BE NICE TO HAVE SOME WIRING DIAGRAMS, RIVIAN!

Definitely poor tire balancing. But also check for mud caked inside the wheel. That's also done the same for me. When I got my 20s, I had pretty much the same issue, large shaking above 75mph. Brought it back to service and they did a much better job balancing the second time (I wouldn't say...

I took that horrible Reddit video and yelled ENHANCE! First of all, this really reminds me of the angled flamethrower in Contra. I think I agree with comments that might be from brake lines or refrigerant lines going off. Second, that guy in shorts totally got a better video. If anyone has any...

The charge cables are fine, as shown in the other pictures. That white plastic handle would be totally melted and it's not even charred. So I kind of suspect it wasn't even plugged in, and gasoline was involved here. Also note: lights are still working!

This is freaking brilliant! Of course, Rivian already kind of does this with camp mode auto-leveling. For safety though it would have to be SURE that it is supported by a good jack stand, and that's probably the gotcha. Thought it kind of already does that too because it senses and errors if it...

Following this as I also want to make a good spare tire kit, and frustrated that Rivian didn't include it and refuses to sell it. I cancelled the spare tire from my truck config only because I realized I would be buying a full second set of wheels for winter/summer. I didn't realize I then would...

Something is probably in front of your sensor. Mine started doing this and I assumed it was a new software glitch for months...then I realized a crack had spread across the rain sensor and eventually into my view. Give the windshield a good cleaning and inspection. Edit to add: when I got a new...

If all the weight is moving to your front wheels in conserve mode, you have an extremely serious problem!

Just to add my 2 cents here... EVERY tire shop I have ever used does a poor job at balancing, the first time. And often the second. Few have the high end road force balancing machines needed to truly do it right, and even fewer have the CARE needed to get it perfect, especially as the job falls...

The real question is there is a difference in depth from the interior to exterior tread of a tire. I think it's obvious running front wheel only will evenly wear the fronts a bit more, but the concern others have is more about increased camber running in lowest, and if it is wearing the inside...

The BMW cables work, including the cheap one from amazon. But you can't do much without rivian authentication.

Mine have always had trouble latching, one nearly impossible. Folks have said they are easy to adjust but I couldn't find specifics. I finally spent some time today futzing with them. You need to pull the rubber boot off the bottom to access the adjustment screws. A large flathead screwdriver...
