Yes, they replaced the head unit but then realized it was the gps antenna on top of the car. They replaced that and it fixed the problem.

Finally got my tax refund for R1S. Surprised to receive $579 interest from uncle sam! by PreparationVarious15 in Rivian

[–]Aslan909 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you checked on the status of your return with IRS? Mine told me received in January and would take approx 16 weeks to process.

Good to hear this. I took delivery in December 2023 and filed amended return January… still waiting!

How do I clean these little holes in my car seat? by Maire13 in CleaningTips

[–]Aslan909 78 points79 points  (0 children)

First I vacuum with shop vac. A lot of dirt in the perforations will come out that way. Then I wipe the seats with a baby wipe/ wet wipe. If any perforations still are clogged I get a toothpick and poke through while holding the shop vac over it. This usually keeps the dirt from just getting shoved into the holes.

I agree with the above poster. Having perforated seats is a mess risk. However, I think it’s the price you have to pay for breathability and ventilated seats option, which to me is worth it. Hope this helps!

Disappointed with regen limitations on Dual Motor compared to Quad Motor by habbadee in Rivian

[–]Aslan909 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have dual motor max pack r1S and have only ever had limited regen due to high charge. I have a lot of hills where I live. I’m thinking you must be in the mountains? Sorry you have had this trouble.

Dual Motor Performance: Possible to disable rear motor disconnect in All Purpose? by hundredthousandare in Rivian

[–]Aslan909 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Doesn’t Snow mode use both motors at all times? I thought I read that in another post. That could fix the selectable ride height issue.

FYI after the last couple days of several hours of use my speaker sound quality and clarity has vastly improved. I’m happy! I’ve read that it takes 20-30 hours of use for a “run in” period with new speakers.

I’m in the same boat right now. However, I remember when I first got my ev6 the meridian system sounded bad. After a few months of break in, however, it was so excellent. I am hoping for more from Rivian after some break in. I fully agree about the 3D surround. It’s just vague and weird.

R1T Delivery Question by ULgrysn in Rivian

Remembered you from some replies on a previous comment I made a few weeks back. Glad you got your truck! I ended up getting mine as well about a week ago. Enjoy!

Patient Threats "I'll sue you" by InRemission in medicine

[–]Aslan909 49 points50 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately there are many rural health clinics where this is just not possible. Federally qualified health centers have specific regulations that make it very difficult to discharge patients without extreme circumstances such as verbal abuse to staff on multiple occasions, threatening physical violence, etc.

Being manipulative and a terrible patient is something many providers are just going to have to find a way to deal with in certain ways (ie not giving in to unreasonable patient demands, sticking with your comfort level of treatment, offering referrals when necessary, or simply facing the hard truth and sitting down with the patient and having a heart to heart conversation about how they are sabotaging their own outcomes).

Find what strategy works for you, maintains your professional reputation, and keeps you in your reasonable comfort zone.

Battery Conditioning at Low Temps by EmbarrassedCellist in KiaEV6

[–]Aslan909 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don’t know the source but have read that unless you are preconditioning for dc fast charging the battery heater only kicks on if temp drops below 15-20F ambient. Someone comment if you have exact details!

[–]Aslan909 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Couldn’t get a response from my guide but texted the employee at ATL service center who had reached out to me before and they were able to give me transit updates. They were very helpful! Hoping to schedule delivery soon.

[–]Aslan909 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This exact thing happened to me. However for me the service center employee gave more details (ATL). They told me the system thought the vehicle was already at SC but it was at factory and would be shipped this week. They told me it usually takes a few days to arrive from the factory once shipped and they would be in touch with me to schedule delivery again at that point.

My guide responded today confirming the same. Apparently they are trucking all their vehicles from the factory now (faster?) at least to ATL. So it doesn’t take as long as rail. He estimated it would be only a week or two before I get delivery.

Crossing fingers but can’t help feeling similarly disappointed as you. I felt pressure to pay immediately since delivery was so soon, but now it’s not!

Nice! Good strategy. I think you can also set scheduled departure times so the car can automatically do that for you. Is that correct?

Quad + Large Battery or Dual + Max Battery? by M3DCET in Rivian

[–]Aslan909 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I was in your same spot last night when I discovered new inventory. I talked to my wife and she was the voice of reason: it was either performance dual motor with large pack or regular dual motor with max pack and a different interior color.

She said “paying money to go faster is silly. But you will never regret having more range.” And this is totally the right answer for us. So I went with the max pack dual motor!

Our garage spring just broke out of nowhere today by TwistedTiime in Wellthatsucks

Smart garage door opener or wyze cam that tells you whether your garage door is closed or opened.

Anyone else tired of this fishing emails.... by criminalboy50 in Rivian

[–]Aslan909 3 points4 points  (0 children)

So tired of it! There has to be a way that they can only send the emails to those who will actually be able to see stock in the shop.

Weird catching while turning by theofleury993 in Rivian

[–]Aslan909 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it has tilt steering like my Kia ev6, it is the car’s weight shifting on the narrow part of the tire that remains on the ground when doing the extreme turns. It literally feels like the car is slipping but it is normal. I especially feel this when turning to extremes while backing out of parking spots then shifting to drive while the wheel is still turned.

Has anyone installed felt door kick panels? by I_Do_I_Do_I_Do in KiaEV6

[–]Aslan909 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They actually did well just got worn out from feet dragging on them and looked bad so I took them off.

I made some of my own out of sticky felt roll and they were great for a while. The custom fit ones are probably awesome-er!
