  1. R2 Horn - WTF?

    If they were able to enter it before you, then they had the right of way I believe. Regardless, this reason for using a horn can start to get subjective, and people start using it to voice their opinion of how they think someone should personally drive, not to notify them of any traffic...
  2. “100k milestone” Yes and we are not looking back!!

    I was told this mid-April. I've never had to replace my half shafts at 90k miles, but I've always had some ting washer clicks to a certain amount. Assuming what the technician said is true, I am going to be less sad when/if my [half shafts] time comes and that expensive repair is needed.
  3. “100k milestone” Yes and we are not looking back!!

    I was told by a technician a few months ago that there is an improved half shaft design that gets done now that removes the possibility for those clicks. You should have a 2 year warranty on your half shafts if you paid out of pocket. I don't think you can get it covered again just because they...
  4. Cost for 12v battery replacement nowadays

    As a separate note, it may be best practice to turn on "Stay on" in the camping tab, so that your 12V is continuously topped off by the HV battery and you don't come to a completely dead and unaccessible/unusable car, if you may need it. Leaving the vehicle plugged in to a 120V outlet will also...
  5. Cost for 12v battery replacement nowadays

    Not sure what the discount on mine meant. I didn't ask for anything. Maybe I'm just a nice person that was easy to deal with. Mobile service done at friend's home in MN while on a road trip / vacation. December 2022 build so @kyunam you should be similar if you have two batteries as well.
  6. R2 Horn - WTF?

    This both enables the opportunity for "software-defined" horn sounds, and disables the opportunity for third party / aftermarket horn replacement. I rarely use my horn in my R1S--and I have the good one (technically speaking, two) that they made first year. Much better use of limited time in...
  7. Cracked rear subframe

    $240 last time I did it at 57k miles. Well worth it if they find any issues. I'm sure you can just schedule it in the Rivian app. https://rivian.com/support/article/what-is-the-maintenance-schedule-for-r1-vehicles
  8. Cracked rear subframe

    @Davis This isn't something you can just insist Rivian fixes prior to end of bumper-to-bumper warranty. There has to be a crack in the subframe. I would recommend getting the comprehensive inspection before end of warranty and asking them to check for that specifically, though. You unfortunately...
  9. Garage appreciation thread - show yours

    I swap out the walkway colors once or twice a year. When I put in the checkered start/finish line, the double yellow line between the cars sort of made it feel more like a roadway. I agree the blue and orange with that tapestry was *chef's kiss*. I may change it back sometime. I have done every...
  10. Garage appreciation thread - show yours

    My basement is a disaster, but it doesn't contain my Rivian and I am absolutely not proud enough to share.
  11. Garage appreciation thread - show yours

    I am feeling proud of my garage, so I collected a few of my most recent pictures to share. Maybe this can be a thread for others to post their garage that they are proud of--from the cars, the decorations, or maybe before/after remodel photos. Mine is actually a detached garage, with no HVAC...
  12. R2 Charge port door

    Likely programmable and will probably be added to software in 1-4 years, depending on reddit anecdotes or upvotes.
  13. Telo EV Pickup Truck first look: 5 seats, 5 foot bed, 350 miles range, 0-60 in 4 seconds, size of Mini Cooper ?

    No one would admit to buying this as their personal daily in the city--everyone who is driving it will say it's their business vehicle, which will also technically be true. Looks dorky and less cool than Slate but has clear functional purpose and probably a greater value proposition if you are...
  14. XPEL PPF Waranty

    Warranty Registration I would register the warranty on XPELs website. They ask for VIN. Site says warranty is transferrable but it doesn't outline any process for transfer so I assume they just have the VIN and verify.
  15. Early adopters who gave up on Rivian, RJ hopes you give Rivian another try

    There's a lot of people who didn't purchase with early adopter mindset. They purchased because they are rich and wanted to appear cool (and rich). I think that is a lot of the luxury car segment. There will be different issues with the mass market, but undeserving levels of entitlement won't be...
  16. Unplugging for Thunderstorms & Lightning?

    I have a whole home surge protector which probably covers this. A year or two ago I watched a fireworks show of several electrical pole transformers explode in consecutive fashion within some view from my house in South East Michigan. My Rivian was plugged in and my power went off. I unplugged...
  17. Will an Original Rivian Key Band Work with a Gen 2 R1 Vehicle?

    Although I can't answer this question, I will chime in to say even my Gen 1 Launch edition wristband did not always work with my Gen 1 Launch edition R1S. After a couple years of my wristband sitting in a drawer, I took it out again to try it, and it didn't work at all. I had the service center...
