It’s a minor thing in the scheme of this, but my insurer paid for replacing PPF that I’d had installed on panels repaired on my previous car. It only seems fair that your insurer pay for equivalent protection on your replacement, but obviously will end up being a policy language issue. I think...
So glad to hear that you and your son are ok and the Rivian protected you both so well. Hopefully the process of getting a replacement won’t be too painful for you.
Looks like a great update.
I have a service ticket in for some Driver+ and ACC issues that this may address. Hope it rolls out in time to test before service appointment (expect it will).
One change that would be great for Driver+ is if it would automatically resume once centered in a lane...
One thing that occurred to me on my last Rivian roadtrip was why aren’t there windscreen cleaning supplies at the fast chargers, and why no cover from the rain (like on ICE garage forecourts)?
I saw a kids in the hall (i think) skit many years ago. At an accident scene, parents are anxiously asking the police officer whether there child is OK. He says “put it this way,” [turns to back of their car and peels off one of the kid stick figures] “you won’t be needing this any more”.
I would far rather a comparison review of the audio system be performed by a professional audio reviewer such as employed by Stereophile, The Absolute Sound or HiFi+. It might be an entertaining review from one of these car reviewers, but I doubt it would be as competent as one performed by a...
I have a set from another company. One thing I really like is that the mat fully covers the left foot rest area. Weathertech mats in prior vehicle only partially covered, so muck would coat the top portion of the rest and slide down behind the mat. I can’t tell from the images whether these will...
I had a similar experience to @SSteveEV at DTW. I checked ahead of time with QwikPark about charger availability - just L1 to keep up with vampire drain. When I arrived, they were all occupied. We lost 50 miles of range over 9 days in January with Gear Guard on, which wasn’t a problem...
RAN charger in Benton Harbor:
EA charger in Bentonville ,AR. Guy was from Boulder and had received his R1S a week prior after 4.5 year wait. Fun chatting:
Plugged into charger next to a bunch of R1’s when visiting the factory on the way home. Sadly failed to get a photo. Did see a bunch of...
Sorry to see this having happened to you. Must be very frustrating.
I believe people like TWraps sell PPF for just the headlights. You could PPF them temporarily to prevent water intrusion and, with a little care, should be able to reuse the PPF on the new headlight.
I feel the question of whether service requests have been places is more than appropriate.
If you’ve made multiple requests of Rivian to resolve and they have been unresponsive, dismissive or ineffective in resolution of issues where the product is failing to perform to advertised design intent...
It doesn’t seem equivalently efficient, assuming stated range estimated same way as for Rivian:
R1T 134 kWh battery, 350 mile range in conserve. 835HP, 908 ft-lbs torque.
Ram base battery 168 kWh (?), 350 mile range. 654HP, 620 ft-lbs torque. +~25% battery for same range with less power.
Ram...
We just got back from a SE Michigan trip to Bentonville, Arkansas (first road trip). We mostly let the Rivian NAV be the guide with the apps others have mentioned as backups. Other than the stop at Benton Harbor RAN chargers, all were fast EA chargers (350 kW) with 150kW option. All but one EA...
I had the app open earlier in the day and was monitoring charging. When I went to check after lunch, the appearance of the app had changed and it was asking me to log in, but wouldn't let me. Log in to Rivian.com with same credentials worked fine. Then I saw the email. Was it an update to the...
In Arkansas on vacation. Plenty of interactions with locals, many of whom one might assume potentially hostile to EV’s. Most knew what it was and were positive and curious. Wife did get coal rolled first night we were here. She dusted them even though still in conserve from drive down.
