Is anyone else experiencing issues with the charge port door not opening when using the capacitive release button on the fender? I find this only happens when it’s cold out, and haven’t yet determined if it’s cold hands or cold button. If I go inside and open it from the main screen, it works...
This is a “before” taken yesterday when I dropped it off.
This has a before and after, both taken today. Not sure if they did any adjustments between the two “before” readings or just changed the tires.
As you can see, left front camber is still out of spec, but the service tech indicated...
Took the truck in for Service for the above issues yesterday. They serviced the drivers side door and tightened the bolts on the catch latch which was loose.
Apparently the reason it went into limp mode was because the alignment was all screwed up. They did an alignment and also replaced all 4...
Those were shot simultaneously by my son and I 100 feet from the trailhead. We debated for a long time whether to shoot them because our main focus was finding a herd of elk we’d seen the previous day. But “easiest pack out ever” won the day. Elk tags went unfilled.
Two issues have popped up recently for me. First, about 2 weeks ago I was on a road trip in MT and the driver’s side door would not open. I was inside the truck, and rolled down the window to see if the exterior handle would work. Nope - neither handle would engage to unlatch the door. I...
I switched mine from High to Standard when descending steep snow covered dirt roads with lots of switchbacks. Standard allowed me to better control the amount of regen resistance via feathering the throttle. In High it was over responsive to small changes in throttle pressure and caused some...
Took mine on a hunting trip in MT the past 5 days. General observations:
Performed well from a handling standpoint on snow covered roads - both highways and dirt roads.
Sensor get blocked with crud really easily to where highway assist and even adaptive cruise won’t work.
Range seemed to hold...
I like that they are hearing feedback, but for me I’m generally out of the truck before it lowers itself in kneel mode.
I wish they would add a proximity capability to mimic what I do (and will continue to do manually) - when I approach my house, I first hit drive mode, and then select Sport...
So glad the latest update now remembers Driver+ settings. Follow distance default to max vs. min drove me crazy! Now if they’d only allow min to be just a little closer (I still have issues with people cutting in), and changing max speed to 90mph vs. 85 I’d be even more happy. Supporting...
I don’t really use Sport mode when driving, so I set sport mode to “lowest” ride height and it remembers that. So whenever I’m about to park, I hit the Drive Mode icon and select Sport and it adjust to lowest. Not ideal, but it works. When I remember to do it…
I guess it really depends on what you’re planning to tow and the “level” tongue height for the trailer. I primarily tow a flatbed utility trailer that has a pretty low level tongue height, so not being able to invert the hitch isn’t really an issue for me.
Seems to me most of the issues are torsion/tension related vs. impact. So I guess we need to wait and see if reports start coming in for hail, walnuts, bird droppings, etc. I also wonder whether the rigidity of the truck is somehow transferring unexpected levels of stress and strain to the...
I’m still losing 2-3 rated miles (~1% of battery capacity) per day when the truck is sitting idle in my garage. Rough calculation is that’s about equivalent to having a 60w light on for a day.
At my local DMV, they literally walk out to the parking lot and check the ViN. That wasn’t needed for my Rivian. Everything was just sent to me. Title arrived first, then plates and registration a few days later.
FYI for folks in UT who don’t like the default plate style that Rivian...
I’m probably in the minority on this, but I’d prefer they do away with the tax credit or rebate completely and instead put that money towards building out charging infrastructure. Cost is not the biggest impediment to EV adoption right now IMO. It’s charging infrastructure range anxiety. I...
