interestimg. I had an appt for recall that i understood would be while you wait. Got call today that they are so overwhelmed that they would need R1S overnite. The one night not convenient. canceled for time bring. PS Sunnyvale CA
Woke up today with warning on fone, My R1S is still in 12V warranty period(33mos/31Kmi). cant get mobile, so Monday 9AM at San Jose service, Oh well. At least I got warning instead of TURTLE;)
disagree. when the 12V is failing the vehicle could switch to HV12v, Yes this is new hardware element but not rocket sci. Warning to repair 12v would be displayed.
My vent. Ability to proactively determine 12V health and self replace. Not even asking for a 12V from the HV battery emulating an ICE alternator as they should have designed to begin with!
i totally concur. ICE much, much more benign. They didn't have to do it this way. The big battery could furnish an "alternator" output but always on/ The 12v battery would be backup for emergency lights. Fed law, i think. I dream on. People just don't entiendo!
My 2yr old R1S 12/14/22 with 27K, very similar experience. No problems but had the recall for BU lites. My 22 pirellis were pretty bare at 22k. Put Mich defenders(115) then. Love em.
My R1S was rear ended similarly. Driveable no sensor faults. Other insurance Co took full responsibility, Two weeks for faultless repair. 13K. I pestered them on diminished value, Got 7K, doubt my pestering was needed but who knows?
For all you apologist for the pisspoor 12V design(mobile service fixed it) it will be 800$ after 36K. I love my R1S but RJ is tone deaf or something, My rant over., bring on yours,
If an ICE 12V dies you jump it then the alternator lets you drive to parts store for easy install of fresh battery. No tow/turtle. No Comparison. My primary RIV complaint. It doesn't have to be this way.
As a side note. My R1S was rear ended a few months back. State Farm sent me to a Riv certified repair shop(Chilton Autobody) who did impeccable work/ The bill to the other insurance co was north of 13K. Additionally, I got half that amount for diminished value(checks in the mail:):( .) San Jose...
