Wow, so defensive. I'm not bad talking Rivian here but I'm on my 4th set of rear dampers in 3 years of ownership. 40K miles. I'm really happy to hear that most other Rivian owners have never had their dampers replaced. I really hope it doesn't turn into a recall situation. These parts are wear...
I've had the rear dampers replaced twice by 25K miles. Most recent repair, all 4 dampers, hydroaulic lines and the hydraulic pump. Catastrophic failure. I live on an unpaved desert road. Total of 5 miles out and back to my home. This suspension system cannot handle it.
This has not been my experience. I've owned my R1T for 3 years now and I've been to service many times. I've never been given another Rivian as a loaner. I'm assuming because I live almost 100 miles away. In my experience, the service is getting better. At least at Eastvale, CA. My last repair...
I tend to agree... For now. Unless these legacy manufacturers adopt the software approach like Tesla and Rivian, I won't even consider them. The frequent software updates and improvements are vitally important to me. Legacy's approach: Buy the newer model if you want these new features.
How odd that the Joshua Tree charging outpost does not show up on the maps in our vehicle. I saw a Rivian charging at a Tesla station a few miles up the road and thought "why would they be charging here instead of the Rivian one?" Perhaps this was the reason. I live out here and pass it all of...
That's a bummer about the efficiency loss, given how Bridgestone says they lean more HT than AT. Let's hope they stay quiet, at least. Those Pirelli's were annoying towards the end.
Had to replace the 20" Pirelli's today. I got 30k out of them. Could have been worse, I suppose. I was dead set on going another 5k even though they were getting fairly worn down, until a puncture caused a bubble. Super thankful it wasn't a blowout at 70mph.
In any case, the stock AT Pirelli's...
Bad batch at the very least but possibly a bad part recall situation. No way I should need my dampers replaced every year.
You picture looks like you drove through some mud. I'd wash is all off and check in the on the dampers after 1000k miles. All you need to do is raise to its highest to take...
Yeah, it's a shock but Rivian's are super fancy and are interlinked, sharing hydraulic fluid. Not gonna be fun when we have to pay to have them replaced. I think they drained the entirety of the fluid and replaced it. when they worked on mine. I have another appointment to have my rears replaced.
I go the mountains at least 3 times a week. The truck consistently throttles full regen in less than 10 minutes into the descent. It doesn’t matter if it’s summer or winter.
