  1. Rivian will pay $250M to settle lawsuit over R1 price hike

    There is a ton of financial reasons why companies settle lawsuits and include "without admitting fault or wrongdoing" as part of the settlement, e.g., cutting your losses, dismissed without prejudice. If only I had a nickel for each time a defendant, corporation or individual, does not admit...
  2. I hope they reassigned the engineer responsible for the horn

    Yep, horn's is a joke. Hey, Rivian, talk to Tesla to learn how to do horns right. Pressing horn for two seconds to record? Hey, Rivian, talk to Tesla to learn how to implement this correctly, too, [Enter Rivian software implementation]. Hey, Rivian, talk to Tesla about how to do it right.
  3. I hope they reassigned the engineer responsible for the horn

    I myself can think of 87,000 reasons why I should not have to do that.
  4. Charge Point Home Wall Charger Intermittent after 9 Months

    Undertorquing electrical connections=safety hazard. Overtorquing electrical connections= safety hazard. It is never very smart to tell somebody to "Make sure there is sufficient torque on those screws holding the wires in place." Yeah, go right ahead! In other news, never mind the bulletproof...
  5. Why can't they retrofit existing R1's with NACS?

    My Teslas and my Rivian always shall use nothing but Tesla chargers both at home and on the road even though I carry the necessary charging adapters with each EV just in case. It takes a lot more effort to talk about using the NACS adapter on my Rivian than it does to actually use it. Having my...
  6. Gear Guard symbol yea or nay?

    Perhaps were I four years old, I too would have such an orgasmic bliss over what I nicely will call an infantile pet mascot and colossal stupidity. I grew the [expletive] up long, long ago to go gaga in the slightest over this total bull.
  7. Just fix the software

    Respectfully, you are so very kind to the folks behind Rivian software
  8. Just fix the software

    Sorry you have to go through all that. I truly hope that it gets better for you. Forget the many bugs. My Rivian software issues are more "trivial" such as the dumb, half-assed, and plain stupid implementation of some features, e.g., demented Homelink, asinine MFA security, the idiotic...
  9. is this a leaking shock?

    My R1S has a CV boot leaking now. There is grease splattered all over the place around the wheel.
  10. Paint Defect, Rust, What Is Going On!?

    That looks exactly like the same problem my R1S had, same location. I think four cases of this now. This issue is looking more like another Rivian defect, not a one-off. Reach out to your nearest Rivian-certified collision center and have it looked at and the paperwork started. Hope yours...
  11. How To Leave Vehicle On For Passenger?

    Leave your phone inside your Rivian. Problem solved.
  12. PSA for those getting a new phone -- you could be boned if you do this....

    That's a bit unfair to Rivian. Remember, Tesla is the supreme leader in EV software integration, second to none. Rivian is, well, Rivian should really talk to Tesla about how to do so many software things, and learn. Only those for whom their first EV was a Tesla shall understand this.
  13. PSA for those getting a new phone -- you could be boned if you do this....

    There is still no way to do a clone transfer to a new phone. Of course, BT connections will never transfer over to a new phone, and a few other things, also.
  14. First ever DIY pre-cut Color PPF Wrap for R1T - 12hrs install time

    It looks great from the pictures, and you seem to be doing all the right things. For the R1T owner, a bargain to have PPF installed "gratis" a la guinea pig regardless of the outcome. Good to see that you offer the install option also. For those like me, there is no way in hell I would ever...
  15. R1S Gen 1 Mechanical Issues. My Turn Has Come

    Spotless because I already had cleaned up the brake caliper and upper control arm. There was grease caked on the caliper brake line plus quite a bit of grease splatter on the upper control arm.
  16. R1S Gen 1 Mechanical Issues. My Turn Has Come

    Extremely doubtful that this is external damage. It looks like lousy Rivian reliability, but fair enough, I am not 100% certain.
  17. R1S Gen 1 Mechanical Issues. My Turn Has Come

    Thank you. I know. It really does not look like a major deal, at least right now. It just seems odd to me to have something like this happen so early. And of course wonder what might be next. Nearest SC is 300 miles away in Seattle. Fortunately for me, I can make the trip any day. But...
  18. R1S Gen 1 Mechanical Issues. My Turn Has Come

    R1S Gen 1 Quad. First issue with it was corrosion on the rear passenger door at barely 3 months old. Door replaced. 11.5k miles in and not even two years old, a routine inspection of the underside last weekend showed what looks like a leaking CV boot on the front passenger wheel; plenty of...
