Our r1s from thanksgiving 2023 has only the hood, front and front side panels with ppf. Nothing on doors. I find it less necessary for road rocks protection. And anyways ppf lasts only 5 y ish. Not a full wrap.
our G1-R1s stayed a little more than 12 days at the airport parking, exposed to the elements (to wash out all the salt from the body with rain ;) :
- 2024 Dec 24 @10am until 2025 jan 5 @~8pm
- gear guard off, all else normal. (i would have set it to service/shipping mode if i had not forgotten...
I installed 2 deer ultrasound whistles under the front bumper of our r1s. Not sure yet if it does something, but havenāt met Bambi yet in our deer dense area of western ny.
I had lower front right side black bumper plastic replaced after hitting or being hit by something rocky. 450$ for bumper + 400 for work time. Nowhere near as high as some expect it to be. That was 3 weeks ago at new rivian center near Rochester ny.
Ps: I placed ultrasound Deer whistles under...
14400mi r1s 1 gen on 21ā here and more than half the initial thread left, they were rotated once at 8k miles. Driving in conserve and all purpose half / half but always in std height, auto mode deactivated to avoid low level on highway which is uncomfortable and chews tires i was toldā¦. Fingers...
My subjective point of view:
We have a blue s and every time I see another color s or t, I feel like we picked the right color. In the sun it has intriguing shades. But I my favorite color is blue anyways. I agree sometimes the riv blue seems a bit grey ish in the winter, but it does not appear...
Used to live near Memphis, tn. One flat rear tire every 6 month in average⦠always big bolts. Both on ev and ice car. But even more frequent on my bike as there is glass and exploded car tires metal bits everywhere in that areaā¦
it just occured to me that following this mid august2024 update, the weird behaviour of the brake pedal has totally disappeared in my r1s. is it the same for you all?
cheers,
At least on yours they tried to fix it. Our r1s front axle vibrates randomly at 65-77 mph on highway when in conserve and motors are warm. Service center can t reproduce it as every time the motors are not warm enough. Big mystery. I had all 4 tires rebalanced and it kept doing it. Solution for...
then remains the service mode activation to try to decrease the vampire drain.... i am wondering if it actually makes the car vulnerable to theft? or does it just deactivate some features, thereby sparing the battery... i ll try that and follow on electrafi when possible...
Did you consider electrafi/ teslafi data logging of rivian api car data? I find it really easier to analyse our r1s charging events during long trips⦠cheers
Anyone also having Amazon music that keeps playing for hours after exiting the car,? I noticed in my garage today as windows were open and door closed.
I also find the new suspension ā enhancementsā to be worse for comfort⦠soft setting is badly bouncy on the bad roads around here, was not...
update: the service team has no fix for my issue with the clicking brake or actuators. 'within specs' ... Well i ll have a look under there when i have time and see if i can put a light spring or something to limit the annoying clicks between the parts in motion.
So annoying that rivian has no...
