  1. New Rivian R1T / R1S "Touch-Up" Paint - all factory OEM colors - from EV Sportline

    @EV Sportline, can you make one that matches the black paint on the OEM wheels? Or the yellow calipers?
  2. Why not sell R1s and R1Ts at low interest rate?

    Any time you see a seller is advertising a low interest rate what is actually happening is the seller is just paying the interest. From the seller's perspective offering a below market rate interest rate has an identical impact on their bottom line as lowering the price. But from a buyer's...
  3. NACS Adapters now shipping…s00nish!

    Can you please share what state you live in? You might have just convinced me to move.
  4. R1T repurchase and replacement - what to expect?

    Under the IL law, they can deduct the value of driving the vehicle for a year from the refund. So they would not have to give it a full MSRP value if they don't want to. If they do offer you an even swap, I would very much view this as a win even with higher interest rates.
  5. R1T repurchase and replacement - what to expect?

    No, the IL law requires that the defects occur within then 12mo/12,000 miles but does not require that the claim be made within that period. You have 18 months to file your claim under the IL law.
  6. R1T repurchase and replacement - what to expect?

    To me it sounds like you are more than being "made whole', even with the higher interest rate. Between your Rivian and the loners how many miles did you drive? About 15,000 would be pretty typical for 14 months so I'm going to assume that number for now. They are going to replace it with a...
  7. R1T repurchase and replacement - what to expect?

    WA isn't the only state with a lemon law. If the purchase was in IL then you would fall under Illinois's lemon law. https://www.ilga.gov/legislation/ilcs/ilcs3.asp?ActID=2341&ChapterID=67
  8. For those with no spare or who have changed over…

    No spare here, and no desire for one. I am relying on the air compressor and as a backup my cell phone. In 30 years of driving, I've had plenty of punctures but none were so bad that a quick top off didn't buy me a few hours to get to a tire shop. And if my tire was damaged so badly that I...
  9. Amended return rejected

    Just got my 2022 amendment check in the mail today. The IRS only only took 4 months to process the amendment. I doubt the IRS is approving/denying these at random. People having troubles must be filling out the forms incorrectly.
  10. Not allowed to speak with management? Say what?!!

    I agree with the OP. It is crazy that the customer service rep couldn't just type. "Hi. Manager here. The answer is still no." I mean this is going down via text. How hard is it for them to claim that a "manager" typed the response. The fact that they won't even lie about the response coming...
  11. Level 2 NACS Adapter recommendations?

    It is worth clarifying that the NACS standard covers both AC and DC charging. It is in no way a DC only thing. Do you really think that next year when Rivian/Ford/everyone is selling vehicles with only a NACS port that they will not support AC charging? Tesla removed the specs from their...
  12. 2024.11.2 Software Update Released! => Release Notes: Send Navigation, Mapping, Charging Feedback/Scores + Rear Display Improvements + More

    Well my car learned a new trick today. I have it set to not automatically lock the doors at home. When I went to retrieve something today the handles were extended (normal) but the doors were locked (not normal) and I couldn't get in. Trying again with both phone and FOB did not help. I was...
  13. Touchup paint for 22" bright wheels

    Does anyone know the best touch up paint for the the black portions of 22" Bright Wheels?
  14. Which Windshield Washer Fluid?

    This is a dangerous question around here, at least for your wallet. Hundreds of posts have been dedicated to finding "the" washer fluid. Here's one (of many) of the threads...
  15. Rivian charger or Tesla universal charger?

    No, it isn't something that can be fixed and it isn't something that should be fixed. A bigger vehicle is always going to require more energy to travel any given distance. Just like gas pickup trucks have always and will always burn more gas then a gas powered sedan even if they were both using...
  16. I tried to connect my R1S to my friend's Tesla wall charger, but it's not working

    Tesla sells a CCS to Tesla adapter but it is not free and it is only compatible with newer vehicles unless the owner has taken it back to Tesla and paid for a retrofit.
  17. What's current experience like with windshield replacement?

    $1000 is pretty steep for calibration. I was only charged $350 today. Actually this is what my insurance paid as glass is a $0 deductible item.
  18. Brand new R1S is DEAD

    Have you ever had a HV failure on one of your other EV's? Tesla doesn't seem to be any better than Rivian in how long it can go without HV power to top off the 12v system. When the high voltage battery on my Tesla failed last month, the car totally depleted the 12V battery within about 12 hours.
  19. Brand new R1S is DEAD

    I'm pretty sure the root cause of your problem is the high voltage battery. The 12 volt battery going bad is just the result of the high voltage battery no longer being able to charge it. However, I do think that using such a tiny 12-volt battery was a design mistake. It is also poor design...
  20. Do you agree with the rivian rating at your local dcfc?

    It was definitely the charger. I park in a heated garage. And I drove 10 minutes away to EA without any additional pre-conditioning and immediately got 200kw. I think the problem is that the higher powered stalls at Target are usually broken. And lower powered 80kw stalls only give that power...
