Maybe I'm too Midwestern, but I've spent the majority of my life working at major silicon valley companies and I can't get over how absolutely "condescending, 20-something, LA/San Fran cashier who hates their job and hates you worse for making them DO their job" the Rivian Assistant sounds to...
Does anyone who might have purchased the console organizer from Rivian have the time to take a few measurements of it?
Mostly I am looking for the "height" like how tall it is, or really how deeply it goes down into the console. Actually, more specifically, is how much space there is below it...
Put this together today after finally getting my supercharger adapter from Rivian.
I don't really stuff the center console with anything aside from a few spare charging cables and some basic paperwork so it was pretty much always just a gaping cavern.
I figured this was a better use for it and...
Well, not a great day yesterday, had to commute downtown and ended up in one of the tightest/narrowest garages I have been inside in the city. When I parked, I was thinking if one person is not fully pulled forward near the corners there's going to be a problem.
When I left in the evening...
Well, it took almost exactly one year to get it done (and it's still not done yet - there's one more piece that needs to be wrapped gloss black up front, but that'll be handled in a few weeks. All the same, it's finally done so I wanted to share!
Question for those who have done it - My R1S is actively getting a stealth/matte wrap and the installer had raised the question of wrapping or not wrapping the door handles. My assumption was that like - you wrap everything, always. But I can understand that with the usage and wear and tear...
Does anyone else think that the Charging History section of the mobile app needs a rework? Not in the sense of UI or anything, but the fact that a "session" seems to be dictated by physical insertion and removal of the charging cable, and not... you know... ACTUAL charging sessions?
For example...
While this is a relatively minor thing to deal with now, WHERE it happened is the real issue. It's going to be an absolute nightmare to try and get this serviced.
The garage at my place is entirely unreachable for any flatbed to tow. The garage it's in it barely squeaks into and the drink area...
Enjoying my R1S a great deal but I can't deny that it makes a LOT of noise. Rattles, clunks, squeaks, but especially... rattles. Did I mention it rattles a LOT, like on the smallest 1/4" deep road imperfection... rattles all over :D
So I thought it might be nice to start a thread for community...
First let me clarify - by aggressive I don't mean slamming on the brakes, I just mean noticeably more "aggressive" or perhaps "eager" than normal for WHEN they are applied.
After the update that added extra braking assist for when regen is limited, I have noticed at least 2-3 times where my R1S...
So... living in Chicago we just went through some brutal weather - it's all been discussed here - I was one of the people who had power go out early that first day and used my R1S to power a few critical items during the outage.
Because my typical usage is very short trips, and only 1-2 times a...
Don't know if anyone else has gotten theirs yet but it is a pretty easy mod, and despite not fitting quite perfectly and requiring some slight modification, it went together well and is very solid.
So... had my first service appt. Mostly everything went well. All complaints seem to have been addressed however the service techs left me a few unexpected gifts... namely greasy/dirty fingerprints along the interior A-pillar headliner material, the drivers side armrest and console armrests, and...
This was done in the worst possible way, without any proper setup, and is my first scan ever, but still came out decent. Likely usable for what I want to do with it. But more to come...
I'm going to be making some cargo net quick-release hooks as most nets don't have clips that will...
While I am not terribly bothered by this (as it's somewhat a worst case scenario) I can't say it still wasn't a little surprising to see it...
Cold battery, heat on 70, seat warmers (2) on 2nd pip, steering wheel heater on, stop and go Chicago traffic for a short trip and...
And to be fair...
I bought a 2nd set of the cargo tie downs and I'd like to have a rear cargo net in the R1S - most of the time it would be flat, but sometimes I might need/want to mount it vertically - but I'll consider that a bonus, mostly I just want it horizontal over the rearmost section. Measured out this...
So I've finally been hit by the gremlins...
My charge port door is acting up and sorta "slams" itself shut but doesn't always close or fit properly. But I also noticed last night going over some bumps that sounded like something was loose under the floor.
It's pouring something awful here...
