When I first bought my R1S 8 months ago, I honestly thought I’d probably sparingly use my frunk. It has actually been one of my favorite features of an EV (not unique to Rivian per se).
I do notice that I still (almost every time) get weird looks when I open the front and start packing in...
Talked to a technician about it and they said they’d not recommend anything except maybe some silicon spray but instead recommended just waiting for the replacement parts which should be coming soon.
Semi-related. I’ve heard they are working on a replacement for the door handles to correct the squeaking a lot of people experience when locking and unlocking.
I had mine in for an alignment a couple of weeks ago and had very similar results as yours. I also had some “bent bolts” that had caused damage to the rear sub-frame…which I have to believe happened pre-delivery. I had less than 4500 miles and none of which were off-road.
Today, I walked up to my vehicle and only the passenger side doors unlocked.
Did a computer reboot and vehicle still wouldn’t unlock driver side doors and lots of warnings appeared…low beams not working, front latch not working, tire pressure monitors not working, etc etc.
Called support...
I have recently noticed (since the .51 update) that every time I get into my vehicle, the audio volume has set itself to 20, no matter where I had it at when I exited the vehicle.
Anybody else noticing something similar?
It may be coincidental, but I’ve noticed a fairly substantial improvement in the reliability of PaaK since the .51 release.
I used to (almost without fail) have to make sure my phone was out of my pocket and unlocked for it to work correctly. This doesn’t appear to be the case as often (still...
If I had to guess it has to do with the quality of the cameras and sensors. They must have some reason to believe that the functionality will be more accurate in Gen 2 than in Gen 1.
The South Carolina law allows manufacturers to perform warranty work without restriction so I wonder if the location is going to be limited to warranty work.
Yeah, I was surprised just how particularly finicky the LFP seems to be. But that info is directly from the Regional Service Ops Director for the east coast
From what I’ve learned that battery pack temp is the limiting factor here. For ideal speeds, the vehicle expects the battery pack to be 35°C (95°F). I’ve been told you’d need to ensure the pre-conditioning is done well in advance of arriving at a DCFC (like 30 minutes) to ensure the battery is...
I haven’t needed to go to a DCFC in a bit, but given those outside temps, I’d be interested to know what your battery pack temp was. To paraphrase others and what I’ve heard directly from Service Operations leaders at Rivian (I’ve had the chance to talk to a couple recently), the LFP packs are...
