I should get it back tomorrow. They said they are replacing the coolant pump and the display module. It's been there for over two weeks. Have had a loaner since then. Will report back after I get it.
Alright, Rivian just called me and so far their main findings seem to lead to a full battery replacement. They are confirming with one more tech before they do it, but they will put a remanufactured battery in apparently.

We also started turning off "future charging locations" and just using the phone for driving directions because we were concerned the "preparing the vehicle for charging" would further reduce the cars ability to cool down. I don't know how accurate this is but as we were already having so many...
Thanks everyone. It's helpful to know this isn't common. It's at Rivian now. They have found some battery issues. Basically both of my road trips since owning this in Feb have resulted in problems. I'm definitely less trusting of it and it's a serious danger to have screens go black while...
We infotainment reset at the first turtle mode. Then we hard reset it at the Corte Madera charger when it wouldn't charge at all. Then we infotainment reset it again halfway through San Francisco when we thought it was cool enough that it would drive normal. It didn't. Yeah I'm curious about...
I recently took my Rivian R1S on its very first towing trip with our Taxa TigerMoth from the Bay Area up to Shelter Cove for the 4th of July. I wanted to share my experience because it was a wild ride of incredible highs and some pretty safety-compromising lows.
THE GOOD: Power, Camping, and...
Thanks for checking it out and the feedback. Yeah, i got a little fooled by the sunroof being pretty easy. The hood and bumper took some time!
But...as a newbie, i did the two part sunroof in a couple hours. Given you've done a whole car, you could probably knock it out pretty quick.
Well it seems like you have a nice garage you can pull into do everything. I don't have that luxury and was reliant on a couple nice sunny non windy days to do this. So the hose is sitting right there. Not sure how much water you want to squeegee out of your garage!
Thanks for watching and the...
Hey all I did my sunroof, windshield, hood and front bumper with clear PPF from TWraps.
I've never done anything like this before except adding screen protectors in the front and back of the Rivian interior. Overall I'm pretty impressed with both the product and the process.
I made a video...
I wanted to give an update... Rivian had my vehicle for a little over a week. Luckily they gave me a loaner because at the same time my ioniq 6 also had a battery failure. Anyhow during the repairs they said that the coolant temperature kept spiking and went from 70° c to 80° c and that...
Hey James, i'm in the bay area also (pacifica). was interested in getting a second set of rims and tires to not chew through my AT tires all year. How much are you asking?
Thanks,
Jason
