  1. Clunking noise?

    There are several threads about this. A continuing problem.
  2. Cold tire pressure

    I have three different manual tire pressure gauges. They all read very close to each other. The TPS readings on my present R1T (21” tires) consistently run 3 pounds less than the manual gauges. My prior R1T had 20” AT tires and the readings were similar. I live at 7,000 feet and garage the...
  3. Clunking sound from front end.

    My present DM R1T (4,000 miles) is absolutely quiet. My prior LE QM began to develop a number of significant front drive line noises at 3,000 miles. A big difference between the two vehicles.
  4. Clunking sound from front end.

    I too noticed the cold weather phenomenon with my QM R1T. My theory is the colder the temperature the thicker the lube which reduces the play/gear lash. Of course Spring ultimately returns with higher temperatures and you are right back where you started.
  5. Clunking sound from front end.

    The big differences I noticed between my previous QM and my present DM are that the Rock Climbing and Sport modes were eliminated and the DM has what are in essence differentials front and rear to connect the two motors to the wheels. Major redesigns. A much simpler vehicle which drove my...
  6. How to turn off auto height?

    My Kia Sportage Hybrid does the same thing. Resets to Economy Mode each time you turn it off. Very annoying especially during the winter when you want to leave it in Snow Mode.
  7. Clunking sound from front end.

    My first R1T was a LE QM and at around 3,000 miles started having the same problems. Apparently the vehicle could not withstand the torturous driving on paved roads back and forth to the store. Over the next 8,000 miles went through the bandaid repairs (lube and tighten bolts, new washers...
  8. Vampire Drain increase after 2024.27.01 update?

    Data Analytics is found in the Systems window under Data and Privacy. I did not keep track of my drain previously, just a casual observation. After three days no drain but when I checked this evening it initially showed a 1% drop but quickly changed back to no loss.
  9. Vampire Drain increase after 2024.27.01 update?

    I have been unable to find a way to turn off the LTE cell tower connection. Not sure how often ET calls home.
  10. Vampire Drain increase after 2024.27.01 update?

    Unlocked and FOB location is far enough away to not wake the truck.
  11. Vampire Drain increase after 2024.27.01 update?

    Like others I have been following the VD threads for some time. I generally do not see information about the features owners have activated or deactivated on their Rivian’s just a percentage loss over a given period of time. I wonder if the features activated might be part of the problem. I...
  12. Sirius radio

    Rivian’s Bluetooth is not compatible with SXM’s Bluetooth. At the moment the only installation method is with the FM adapter. When Rivian eliminated the under dash power outlet the installation became much more difficult. Here is a photo of my installation. The SXM antenna is centered on the...
  13. Half Shaft / CV Joint Noise

    To bring some clarity to this discussion it would be helpful if the type of Rivian were mentioned ie Generation, model, quad, tri, dual motor. There seems to be different design issues hence type of attempted repairs.
  14. Clunking sound from front end.

    For those of you with this problem I would suggest the following. Jack the driver’s side front tire off the ground and rotate it to the left and then to the right several times while having someone video it. Most likely it will sound like a traditional driveshaft which has a universal joint that...
  15. 2024.31.01

    Does make you wonder who is actually writing Rivian’s software?
  16. Has anyone else had to lemon law their Rivian?

    My first R1T was a LE QM. Continuing problems with the front drive units and half shafts. Gave Rivian several opportunities to repair under warranty. Told them the third attempt would be the last. Repair failed. Demanded a replacement vehicle. They ghosted me and did not respond for a couple of...
  17. Rivian ring key by CNICK

    Received my R1T ring key yesterday. It took the predicted month to arrive. Seems to be working just fine.
  18. Restocked: BestEvMod Lockable Drawer Tray - Limited Time Discount!

    Received mine a few days ago. Design and color were acceptable. The plastic itself is rather thin and actually a disappointment.
  19. Clunking sound from front end.

    When Rivian says it is “normal” they are really saying it is operating as designed. My LE QM R1T started making the same noises at 3,000 miles and notwithstanding multiple “repairs” only got worse over time. Ultimately, at 12,000 miles, the subframe and front drive unit were replaced all to no...
