  1. Title, license plate (transfer or new) and registration

    And just when they thought they’d thread the needle and get my docs to me day before temp expiry… If I wasn’t staring at a soon-to-be 7000lb paper weight, this would be comical. Would love to know what was REALLY going on with this process during the rest of the 90 days since delivery.
  2. Title, license plate (transfer or new) and registration

    What arrived today was not my docs. It was the tax and fee refund check that guide originally conveyed would take 4-6+ weeks. So I guess I'm happy that happened faster than first communicated. Guide provided 2 UPS tracking numbers and second one was, I guess, for the docs but it indicated that...
  3. Title, license plate (transfer or new) and registration

    As part of my ask for escalation, CS called me 2x Friday afternoon. Once to say she couldn't get any better status from T&R team than my guide. Second time left VM that T&R said I'd get my self-service package Wed of this week but she was trying to get it overnighted. Yesterday and again this...
  4. Rivian R1T Door Construction Analysis: Sandy Munro Live

    While I’m not anywhere near to being an automotive engineer, two things come out of these videos to me. 1 - As we’d expect, early Rivians are an amalgam of engineering philosophies from the various backgrounds their engineers came from in the not too distant past. One area comes from Ford, one...
  5. Title, license plate (transfer or new) and registration

    The saga continues... When guide told me about SNAFU last week, he said I'd have papers by mid this week. I inquired yesterday if I could find out how they were sent and from where to gauge when I could expect them, if I'd need to sign for them, etc. The response was that all the T&I team said...
  6. Title, license plate (transfer or new) and registration

    This just in... My guide just called to tell me that they're just now determining that the virtual notary stuff we did day of delivery is N/A in NC. So, essentially, the process hasn't even started now 79 days in, 13 days until temps expire. He offered a couple of courses. The most expeditious...
  7. A/C Performance

    Haven't had in over 90 heat yet. The fans do buzz pretty loudly at high speed. Does everyone experience that? As an aside, best AC I ever had - 1977 Triumph TR7. I had to re/upgrade wire the controls (I know. Unimaginable for a car of such electrical reliability) but after that, it must have...
  8. Elon Musk says that Lucid and Rivian are tracking toward bankruptcy

    Well, his prognostications are almost 100% accurate. So I guess we're toast. Let's see. What did Bitcoin do today?
  9. So far pretty disappointed in service

    I've opened a few tickets over the time since 3/30 delivery. They called me end of last week to see when they could pickup and bring to ATL SC to look at all as at least one issue would need to be looked at in an SC (probably leak but they didn't say). While on that call, I actually had...
  10. Title, license plate (transfer or new) and registration

    Has anyone had Rivian offer any real status on their title, tag, reg? If I recall correctly, people have said this is how Tesla operated at one point. Is this still Tesla's MO for this process (maybe SOP for direct, remote sale model) or have they matured out of it?
  11. Who is this tool? "Just smoked a rivian that dared the Tesla Plaid"

    He says the Rivian "dared" the Plaid. Could be mutual d-baggery at play. Both drivers know what theirs and, probably, the other driver's vehicles can/can't do so I'm not sure what either's point was. Now, if it was known that the pavement would end during the "race"...
  12. Worst fears came true. My R1T died at a light. Update today(8/18)

    Would this not be covered under 8/175k drivetrain warranty? To your point, there are a bunch of things like suspension that would probably require towing to an SC for repairs and only covered until 60k.
  13. Title, license plate (transfer or new) and registration

    I'm at 68 days in and yesterday asked my guide for visibility into where my title and reg were a la when was paperwork submitted and to whom. Response I got was that he got an update from the T&R team and they assured him that my plates would arrive (requested transfer of old plates, though)...
  14. WiFi and TPMS Oddities

    After a quick search it appears that TCW is what is often referred to as "band steering". Not sure what it has to do with multiple APs, per se. Simply put, band steering will discourage a device from connecting to 2.4GHz if a good 5GHz connection can be made. I've seen where its more often...
  15. Bed mounted vs hitch mounted bike rack?

    1Up flush mount works great on the Rivian crossbars. As for 1Up bike fitting in general, you can slide the 1Up tray rearward enough to get longer bikes over the bed. Tray and bike may be cantilevered out beyond the tailgate a bit but less obtrusive beyond back of truck than even a bike on...
  16. 2022.19.03 Software Update Released! -- Preconditioning, 12v Battery Drain Fix, Soft Sand Mode + More

    Just got update this morning. Seems to have positively changed a Gear Guard "behavior" for me even though I didn't see it fixing my issue in the release notes. Gear Guard is one of those things I just chalked up to "I guess I don't understand how its supposed to work." Figured maybe it only...
  17. Water under dash, around rearview mirror

    If you've got the room and means, can't hurt to keep a "plan B" around anywho, especially if its ICE and your other primary is EV too like your sig indicates. I think you'll get pretty confident with the R1T quickly, though. The Rubicon may be the most redundant ride in your R1T equipped stable...
  18. Slow rolling windows

    +1 for this worked! One pet peeve knocked out. This is going to be a great day, just like my dog predicted (and always predicts).
  19. Slow rolling windows

    Awesome! I’ve got this issue and will try this fix today.
  20. Water under dash, around rearview mirror

    Ooo. This is pro tip. I may TP my own truck today.? Thank you!
