  1. Tesla trade-ins data

    I closed my position @440 in late Dec. Thought about waiting for $420, but decided I wanted the extra $20/share more than the lulz.
  2. Motortrend reviews new 2025 R1T Quad Max. $111,700 est price -- "So, It’s Fast. But There’s Way More Here."

    The 0-60, quarter mile time, and trap speed are almost identical to a Corvette e-ray. Absolutely astonishing. The 60-0 braking distance and skid pad performance are also amazing for a 6900 pound pickup truck. The trap speed of 128.6 mph indicates that it likely has closer to 1150 hp. The best...
  3. Proactive service appointment for tightening something on the wheel hubs?

    I was contacted by Rivian Service today to schedule a mobile appointment to tighten something on the wheel hubs of my 2023 R1S. The advisor said it was a proactive campaign and that the vehicle was safe to drive. I scheduled an appointment for March 28, which was the earliest available. I didn’t...
  4. Rivian contacted me today to proactively schedule a 12V battery replacement by mobile service

    It was 2%/day or a little over 2.5kWh. My wife and I have a three vehicle rotation and two wall connectors, and the Rivian was parked for extended periods of time recently not plugged in. I think the 2%/day is pretty accurate. I just assumed some software update had made it worse. I didn’t...
  5. Rivian contacted me today to proactively schedule a 12V battery replacement by mobile service

    2% a day. In garage, so the vehicle would periodically wake up when my wife or I entered the garage with our phones. Gear Guard off. I think it was more like 1% a day until recently.
  6. Rivian contacted me today to proactively schedule a 12V battery replacement by mobile service

    Update: My 12V battery was replaced yesterday by mobile service. Good service experience. The tech was right on time and very friendly. Texted me when he was 15-20 minutes from my house. Would not confirm or deny that there was a bad batch of batteries. He did say that it had been noted that my...
  7. Rivian contacted me today to proactively schedule a 12V battery replacement by mobile service

    Would leaving Gear Guard on also help, if the vehicle doesn’t go to sleep? Of course, that would use an insane amount of electricity.
  8. Rivian contacted me today to proactively schedule a 12V battery replacement by mobile service

    I thought they switched to the single 12V by mid 2023, but I’m not 100% sure. With my service appointment so close, I think I will wait to find out when the replacement occurs.
  9. Rivian contacted me today to proactively schedule a 12V battery replacement by mobile service

    Just received a phone call this afternoon from Rivian to schedule me for a mobile service appointment to proactively replace my 12 V battery. They said they will be reaching out to people with early/mid 2023 builds to get their 12V batteries replaced. I have a 2023 R1S built 06/23 delivered...
  10. Up to date recommendations for front wind shield replacement.

    I have STEK windshield film on my R1S and my two Teslas. Between the three vehicles, I had about 85,000 miles with no cracked windshields. Several hits, many of which I feel would have caused a crack. However, yesterday had a large rock strike on the windshield of my Model X. If I had gotten it...
  11. Overheat Protection Needed

    I thought cabin overheat was primarily a safety feature in case a child was accidentally left in the car, or a pet was left in the car and the owner forgot to turn on dog/pet comfort mode.
  12. NACS still a BIG differentiator for Tesla - not what I hoped for

    There are still a lot of V2 only stations in the Intermountain west. Many of these are in sparsely populated areas. I have used most of these stations at one time or another, and if you don’t have to share, 150 kW is plenty, particularly if you have a small battery like in the 3/Y. I don’t...
  13. R1S Unreasonably Fragile Roof Glass

    I’m sorry this happened to you. $2500 for glass roof replacement is insane. The roof replacement on my Model Y was $1286. I really like my R1S, but the repair costs are worrisome.
  14. What's with the horrible steering wheel quality?

    I had a small bubble on my steering wheel at 3 o’clock. Mobile service replaced the steering wheel, and the replacement is good.
  15. Even in Matte Black, CT Looks Like Crap // Jalopnik Headline

    There was a great comment on the Inside EV’s thread about wrapping one in green with a “WM” logo on it.
  16. Southern Utah desert is also a charging desert

    Ideally, you would also have fast charging in Escalante, as it is about 155 miles from Bryce Canyon to Hanksville.
