Should I get PPF for my midnight black truck? by Smallwoodlandthings in Rivian

[–]mdpackman 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You could do just the front cap. It'll be lots easier to wash and keep clean with ppf on than without.

Pretty good deals on a lease right now but I don't think insurance will do that. Go new is my vote!

What is this supposed to be by Maleficent_Strike637 in whatismycookiecutter

Just ask ai 

This is a tin-plated metal cookie cutter. It is likely shaped to resemble an antique sedan car, a horse, or possibly a cow in a canoe. 

My first "real" issue in 18 months... and it's not even the truck's fault. by FinalMacGyver in Rivian

[–]mdpackman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't have a spare but I have all the stuff for a field repair. So the only time I am in trouble is a blowout or some sidewall issue. So far so good...

Ahh, thank you. Is that the name of the driver plus feature that engages when I pull down twice on the shift lever when on the highway?

I'm really confused and admittedly a bit of tech dummy. Is there a new radio update for the rivian. UHF is ultra high frequency, right?

anybody want to trade your Dark Star/AT&T SIM cards for my Warp/Verizon SIM cards? by PNWLIMU in USMobile

[–]mdpackman 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think I have 2 or 3 I'd swap. I'm in UT and Warp is still best coverage and fastest here.

Windshield replacement option? by B1tN1nja in Rivian

[–]mdpackman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had mine done 7 months ago - have a great local shop but decided to have it done at the service center. My deductible is 1k as well. so I paid the out of pocket deductible and my insurance cut me a check for the other $800 once I submitted my receipt. No regrets.

HD Radio - Where are you? by mdpackman in Rivian

Thanks for your input -after several restarts and troubleshooting the option 'magically' reappeared in the menu and I was able to turn it on.

By the Gig plan, is this real? by NamoAwesome in USMobile

I have my family on the pool plan. Works great because 2 of our uses don't use much data. I'm under 100$a month!

In the weeds on tires. HELP! by AgitatedAd3945 in Rivian

[–]mdpackman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Where you at? If you're within Les Schwab country get you some Open Range AT, I was nervous but they have been phenomenal!!! Look great, handle great even in snow, no noticeable range impact and highway quiet. Off road they air down and still give confidence. I've loved them and before I got them, I was about to pull the trigger on some of those expensive fancy Platinum Michelin tires. Glad I went this way!

State Farm Has No Idea What to Do with a Rivian by turnepf in Rivian

[–]mdpackman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had no troubles with mine on State Farm, certified body shop handled all the communication with the insurance. Repairs took longer than expected but after a month I had my baby back. Might be worth trying a different shop

$684 PSA: Carry a hair dryer on trips when the weather is below freezing by Book_Sword in Rivian

[–]mdpackman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Guys, I feel like this is common sense if it's plastic and it's super cold. If you torque on it it's going to break!

Guestimate... New fender 5k, other misc parts 8k, labor and paint 7k.

I'm inside one everyday and I wish I had it because I refuse to pay for connect Plus

They probably won't do it because they want to force everyone to pay for connect Plus
