I think the challenge is that we pay for road use but who pays for pollution and the impact of gas powered vehicles? By driving an EV we are benefiting everyone else by not polluting, needing gas, spills, etc. no benefit for us though -

Yeh. Ever been in a parking lot with multiple exits and had the Nav tell you to go one way, so you drive to where the nav is telling you to exit the parking lot only to have the nav switch you to a new way out of the parking lot based on your new location? That happens all the time.

*facepalm* how does one even do an emissions check on an EV with no tailpipe???

Indeed. I would have expected California to have something like this - but oddly they don't. We have smog checks every few years (I think on new vehicles you don't have to be smog checked for 5 years or something). To the best of my knowledge neither ICE or EVs have to undergo inspection -...

That was my thinking too. And frankly why I went with Rivian as the insurance company despite it being a bit more expensive…they promise only Rivian original parts.

Drove from the East Bay to SLO on Thursday. As luck would have it a truck launched a rock at me that cracked the windshield. when I first called the Rivian service team they told me that normal service appointments in south San Francisco (inclusive of window replacement) were a bit far out. Mid...

I realized I never finished the story. I did ultimately get the car back after nearly a month. They replaced the instrument wiring harness thatis essentially the spinal cord of the car because apparently there was corrosion causing short outs. since getting the car back it’s run perfectly for...

I’m just about there. With the possible exception that it could take forever to get one as they state they put you in the queue.

Oh. No no no. I STILL don’t have my truck back. Got this vehicle on December 31. It ran fine until February 3 (just under 800 miles). the catastrophic failure I wrote about happened first on Feb 3. I got it back on the 10th. It happened again on the 13th. Towed on the 14th. That was 19 days...

Well, as the OP I guess I should comment. 1. I LOVE the Rivian. Love it. It's an amazing vehicle and a pure pleasure to drive. It's comfortable, streamlined, has some terrificly thought out features. It's one of those vehicles that you get in and without having really looked around your...

And you may be right. After 4 days of trouble free driving, it all started again. Parked in a parking lot, went to pull out and warning lights flashing, break pedal vibrating and VERY hard to depress, suspension needs service light, turtle/limp mode, auto headlights unavailable, system fault...

Ok. After about a week I noticed that my app said the servicing was finished. So I called. It turns out it took them a week to find that a connector that connects some kind of wiring to the rear left suspension was loose and fell apart. That caused everything to go into limp mode and all the...

Haha. That’s on the playlist too. It’s a rather eclectic mix

Yeh. Rivian rented the enterprise rent-a-car. But I didn’t think to demand a Rivian loaner. Not sure they even have them.

Thanks gang. Yes. I thought about the 12v issue but wouldn’t that also affect the screens and sound system? That seemed to work just fine. Vibrating my way to the side of the road at 5 mph listening to Africa by Toto. the vibrating was definitely breaks and only happened when you pushed on the...

So I was on my way to get my son at middle school in my 1 month old R1T. I stopped in the pickup line and went into hold state. I was there for about 5 or 10 minutes (it’s a slow line). I then pressed on the accelerator and all hell broke loose. Warning lights on the panel started flashing at...
