Someone smarter answer this for me but while this "bump step" will help protect your car when it's getting rear ended, an actual car accident will be made worse because all the energy is essentially being transferred through the frame and not the crumple zones?

HA. I thought I was the only one stubbornly not paying for trash service, especially when the county dump is on the way to work for me.

Lol. Stellantis wasn’t taking EVs seriously til last year? Good luck on a 2024 release.

I'm in. Lets do it.

mobile service guy is out of Charleston! None of this makes sense for Charlotte

Yup, I'd be annoyed with how your vehicle was left but moreso concerned with the quality of workmanship. I'd be downright livid with the communication for putting in a refurbished pack without giving me options for a truck that's essentially brand new.

I've been complaining about this since my delivery in April. The horn is too weak, in terms of pitch, to get the attention of a distracted driver. IMO, needs the second lower register. Shouldn't be hard to get an aftermarket horn but it sure is annoying to have to do this to a $100k truck.

Mobile service came out to fix that as well. The dash rattle seems to have been a choice of materials/clips but it's as quiet as can be for me now!

Rear end

I have a similar problem and changed the battery a couple of times to make sure it wasn't the batteries. Had mobile service out today to take a look. They changed the battery but also said the FOB was weirdly dropping voltage causing this. There was a software update like 6 months ago

Agree. In a safe and controlled environment, everyone should push their cars/trucks to see how they react in certain situations. I grew up in Minnesota so every time it first snowed for the year, I'd go out to a parking lot and do donuts and such to remind myself where the limits of my car were.

I have a red canyon R1T on dark wheels with tinted front wheels looks absolutely fantastic FWIW

Wipers every 6 months, cabin filter probably yearly. I just learned from a tech that the ethylene glycol in the quad motor system used for cooling should be flushed every 8 years/120,000 miles.

I'm very curious on how you built your wooden tonneau cover. That looks fantastic!

Tesla J1772 charger here as well but Tesla also looks like they released a universal L2 charger that's to be shipped in October.

Agreed. I think the dual motor is very significant for Rivian to stay viable but the Quad motor was necessary to get them into the market and all the different drive modes are fantastic. I can't rave enough about rally mode for hooning around town.

My problem is rally mode. I may or may not have done a small power slide coming out of the parking lot at the super market. ??

I figured that a manual tonneau would be more robust than a powered option The video makes it seem like a whole different product. I agree that folks should have read the owners guide, called customer service, e.t.c. instead of pushing on random stuff but at the same time...it's some flat...

so I was advised Discount Tire is an official tire partner with Rivian. They might be able to help?

When I was configuring my truck, the choices were the 20" and underbody package or other sized tires. Immediately after configuring my truck, I asked my guide for access to the R1 shop but never got the option. Was matched with a VIN about a week later.
