Sorry to see and read. Hope there was a note left behind from whomever did this. It looks like there were two hard edges that got both sides of the rear wheel. Its Rivian, so the repair will most likely be $30K~$40k so it probably will exceed 50% of the current value - totaled....

Axial flux motor on its own does not need to be in the wheel. The wheel motor is one potential application. Its the power density that makes axial flux unique. My two seater has an axial flux motor in the transmission of V6 motor. Since MB bought YASA, they are the first EV with axial flux...

Have you tried swapping A and B plug between the Rivian and Tesla chargers? If A gets warm still with the Tesla charger, then you know for sure that it's the charger, and not the splitter B problem. Conversely, if the Rivian charger gets hot plugged into B, then you know its the splitter B issue.

There are two source points for potential cause. As already mentioned, NEMA 14-50 plug itself. I had a similar problem where the plug had melted inside the housing - not visible from the plug itself. It was Hubbell plug installed by an electrician when we originally ran a dedicated line from...

Don't know if this has been discussed already but here is the patent application for manual torque vectoring using the steering wheel dials. You'll be able to control drifting and tank turn. https://carbuzz.com/rivian-manual-torque-vector-patent/

Never have experienced what you are describing with out 2023 R1S. Would definitely take it in for service and while waiting, first thing I would try is to turn off blended braking and see if that's the cause. Good luck.

As EV owner since 2018, Tesla and Rivian, when you take into account the total ownership costs (purchase price, insurance, operational and depreciation), its not clear that EV is cheaper over 5 years, especially if there is an accident involved. Yes it costs less to run the vehicle than gas and...

One of the best low cost AWD vehicle (since your location is Chicago), is the Subaru Crosstrek. It costs about the same as Civic and Corolla, and has high safety ratings.

Why not just keep the Honda Accord and use it for commuting. Don't trade it in - just add R2 to your household. We have never leased any vehicle because our commute were always closer to 20k miles/yr. Also having kids in club sports doubled the amount of milage on all of our vehicles. I...

Many SCs are TOU-based pricing for Tesla (and members since its Tesla pricing). It has been that for several years. I am surprised that you have not come crossed that. The non-Tesla flat rate is always higher than the peak TOU rate so that's why it probably doesn't change. Whenever I've used...

Conceptual design - yes, production planning - most likely not. Not a question of being able to develop multiple vehicles at the same time. Rather its a question of resource allocation. R ivian is still spending more than they make and all the new funds coming in from outside are all at the...

I think you might be pleasantly surprised that your R2 number will come up much sooner than you mght be thinking. Only small fraction of preorders are actually converted to purchases. Given how crowded this price point and SUV space is today, there is every likelihood that you might be asked...

Gen 2 R1 was necessitated by cost control more than anything else. While components were upgraded (Moore's Law and evolving tech), it was done for cost cutting purposes. Naturally, quality of subsequent builds increased. Now, things are bit different. Rivian is no longer R1 platform consumer...

When on the road trip, I usually drive down to ~10% SOC between charging stops. In our ICE vehicles, I stretch till the tank is around 1/8th remaining. In town, I usually plug the vehicle in if it was driven that day regardless of the SOC so I never really see anything below 45%. Always...

If someone owns a heavy trailer, capability to tow the weight is a must, regardless of convenience. If looking for a lightweight sports car, two seater with high power to weight ratio and balance are must have capabilities but not convenient to carry more than a single passenger or cargo. It...

Sounds like Kelshi bet....

Must be a function of new models. If you look at Tesla, the new Model Y probably is the reason why older Teslas are traded in for new. The data for Ford, I assume is dominated by F150 replacement cycle and Lucid is due to Gravity being introduced. The Rivian numbers will go up once R2 is...

Yes they developed PowerPC RISC chip with IBM, which almost tanked the company and was not successful at most of the chips they made. The original iPod processor was designed and PortalPlayer, which apple funded the development. After Jobs came back and decided to use Intel x86 processors for...

Did not miss the point about the vertical integration of Rivian technology use. My point is that they are not in good position to do so currently. This is where I think RJ the engineer comes out over RJ the business man. As for Rivian being profitable in 2028, that's not fast enough when R2...

Not a fan of the white wheels in general. It will look dingy after period of time and will show dirt easily. Given the green color, have you thought about bronx color wheels?
