Preach on, brother. I also have a 6spd FJ Cruiser and a 6Spd B5 Audi S4. Center Torsen in both, rear locker in the 'yota. My R1T Quad does well in the limited trail driving I've done in the past year and a half, but I feel the FJ has a bit more in its toolbox when things get serious. Getting...
I'm in Delaware, we're conservative folks so, a kindly wave is the norm with the one or two R1's that are local. I also have an FJ Cruiser and we do the same. When I'm on a two-wheeler, the low-wave is always a thing, for practical purposes.
Indeed. You can't get anywhere near the travel or tuck of a centrally pivoting axle that's required on those obstacles with independent suspension. Beyond that you can't reengineer an R1 to work that way without engineering an almost wholly different vehicle, it'd probably involve deleting two...
Aaand, it went back. They had it on the flatbed, halfway to my house and they called it back. Supposedly the engineering department was reviewing logs and decided that they wanted to look at a component inside the battery pack. I'm surmising it was a contactor that powers the 12v system that...
Update:
My R1T is coming back tomorrow. I had absolutely zero input in the service experience... Nobody called me to see what else I'd like looked at. They called me to tell me they were "finished" while I happened to be in the dentist's chair. That being said, looking at the service list, I...
Rivian called me and *really* wanted to have my R1T in for service. It's a 5hr round trip from my home in DE to Gaithersburg MD so they sent a flatbed to pick it up. Delivered to the service center Monday around noon and crickets. I tried through the main Rivian line thrice and they were...
My AT&T cell service is exceptionally weak where I live, so it seems I got a bunch of updates at once... one of them got rid of the [...] and turned it to a swipe up! I'm good! I really have to get into the habit of reading the update notes.
Since the last couple of updates I noticed my automatic wipers no longer are functional, even if I engage them manually. When I do, 5 seconds later the green wiper "A" icon, goes to a grey slash wiper icon. It's truly not a function anymore, and it's annoying!
Same thing here... glad to say it's the only real irk I have with the R1T thus-far. If my FJ cruiser and 11k lb MB RV are perfectly straight on the same roads...
Strange times. I was going away and decided to park the R1T close to my garage door (I never park it indoors). It's a side-entrance garage, so it was parked perpendicular to the door, the rear right quarter was about a meter away from my wall-mount Chamberlain opener. Anyhow, in this...
Good deal, I'm definitely one of the few DE Rivian owners. I've never seen one with a DE tag here. My service center was in NYC, but I managed to get my ride delivered after they initially said I had to pick it up in Brooklyn.
