  1. Lack of updates lead me to use drone to see status of truck in body shop lot

    Those are valid questions. I work in retail and I have some customers who will constantly call to check the status on something and despite me telling them the second I know anything I will let you know, still they call. So, I try not to be that guy. I'm going to let them do their thing and...
  2. Lack of updates lead me to use drone to see status of truck in body shop lot

    Yes! I fully agree! My silly brain however….. yes I take medication and it helps immensely, but not totally. Yes I go to therapy, it helps, but it’s a process and personally think everyone needs a bit. šŸ˜‚šŸ¤£
  3. Lack of updates lead me to use drone to see status of truck in body shop lot

    So, this post was about my truck, but alas anytime a drone is involved that's where the conversation goes. 5-6 years ago I discovered and got into drones, bought a DJI Mavic. Like many hobbies it morphed into a possible business opportunity. I studied for part 107 but never took the test...
  4. Lack of updates lead me to use drone to see status of truck in body shop lot

    So the pictures are why I took my truck in for service in the first place. The gap shown in 1st pic was present at delivery but didn’t bother me enough to address, then while washing truck back in May I noticed the factory Xpel PPF was starting to pull up from being pinched(2nd pic)So made an...
  5. State of charge updates during long term service

    Hello all, I have crossed over the 3 week mark of my truck being in service for a mis-aligned/warped drivers side front fender. When I dropped it off back on the 8th for what was supposed to be same day, possibly overnight service. It had 51% SOC, truck went to a (non certified because backups...
  6. Having Someone Lease "For You"

    I cannot speak to out of state nor not the same residence. I am basically a live in care giver for my mother she is still mentally with it and fairly independent but can't live on her own since my dads sudden passing a few years back. She has high credit while I have not as high credit. Her name...
  7. Upgrade from Gen 1 R1T to Gen 2 R1S complicated by damage done during ongoing service issue

    #TLDR Was thinking about a trade in of Gen 1 24' R1T Quad(14 months into 36 month lease, and losing a month at least while in service) for Gen 2 R1S(most likely a 2025 Dual Perf Large, stretch a 26' dual perf Max), had a service appt to fix misaligned/warped drivers side front fender to take...
  8. 2nd trip to Portland Service center, so far horrible experience

    Ok, just got back from my trip into PDX for a loaner. I have to say, the not knowing what happened and vague details of what happens next, plus terrible rental from Enterprise really was driving my dissatisfaction. Now with a loaner, and some answers I’m feeling much better about things. I even...
  9. 2nd trip to Portland Service center, so far horrible experience

    Well I’m taking a half day off work to run down to PDX, drop off crappy rental, then over to Rivian for an R1T. I’m hoping to get a more detailed explanation of what happened and the next steps. As of yesterday I was told a ā€œvendorā€ was going to take a look and assess what is needed. When I...
  10. 2nd trip to Portland Service center, so far horrible experience

    An update from the Service Center just came in and it has eased some of my frustrations. With every message I have thanked them for all they have and are doing. They are doing what they can to make it right. I will continue to update my post and experience. At the end of this it may be an...
  11. 2nd trip to Portland Service center, so far horrible experience

    I did my research I knew my location vs service center. So yeah the risk of having a problem and being far from a service center is not an unknown for me, and it’s is just one part of my frustration with this particular situation. Several folks have commented that they have had nothing but great...
  12. 2nd trip to Portland Service center, so far horrible experience

    Well popped into the app this morning looks like there was an update last night. Now button to access messages with service center is now gone. What was I saying about communication? šŸ™ƒ Really this my 2nd experience, the 1st was good so I’m 50/50. There are folks who have had it way worse than...
  13. 2nd trip to Portland Service center, so far horrible experience

    Thanks for all the replies. My first experience was mostly great, this one sucks. Life will go on eventually all will be tight, and all this will be forgotten in the same amount of time as the current average attention span of we humans. This was mostly a venting into the voids of the internet...
  14. 2nd trip to Portland Service center, so far horrible experience

    ***I have posted an update below, while it may be awhile before I get my truck back, I know know more of what happened and what is going on. I was given an R1S as a loner today until my truck is done. Not out of the woods, but my experience has been made much better*** Prefacing this rant with...

    A drive in the Mt. Hood National Forest. Here is Herbert parked on spur road off Forest Road 48.
  16. Killer range performance, for one brief flash of brilliance.

    About 20 miles from my house is the MT. Hood National Forest. My house sits at 320ft above sea level, got out into the woods at 3400ft. Got this driving back home and off the mountain. I think I actually hit 8, but didn’t get a pic.
  17. Heating just keeps going

    I have noticed that when I added defrost to my everyday morning scheduled pre-condition before work that it will show temps up to 104 degrees, but by the time I leave for work it is not that hot. I then turned defrost off to test and it heated to my setting of ā€œ68ā€ and it stayed there. So maybe...
  18. Advice from NW Rivian Owners

    I can’t speak to any repair shops sadly. I will say that TAPS saved me(more accurate my insurance company thousands). I live out in The Dalles. My insurance asked that I get one of their approved shop for an estimate. Luckily they sent me to our local body shop(they have worked in past vehicles...
