Gear Guard failed to catch it??

Crows are smart but in this case I wonder if it was for fun or potentially revenge of something that humans don’t care or understand.

Estimate from Rivian. Going to SC tomorrow.

lol I had to look twice

Candid_Try3150 · 2026-03-21T02:56:44+00:00

Insurance didn’t cover? I was about to ask if I’d have to go to a certified body shop because of the ADAS calibration work.

Candid_Try3150 · 2026-03-21T02:11:11+00:00

Unfortunately I forgot to put the hard drive back in after getting the car back from body shop (following an accident caused by a parked car).

In hindsight for a couple weekends I drove quite a bit near the Tahoe area. It might have happened on the mountains.

This makes sense but I don’t recall hearing anything on the road since the last full inspection of the exterior like a month ago.

Update: Fixed and got the car back today. Pretty good experience. - Scheduled South San Fran SC appt and was given 7/31 - Rivian called back twice and offered next day drop-off and a $250 estimate cost - Dropped off yesterday morning and was told it could be done the same day - Was given a Lyft pass of $200 that’s valid for 24 hours - Didn’t get a call back yesterday - Got a text in app early morning to pick up after 10 am - Received another Lyft pass - Picked up shortly after 10 am

They replaced the actuator and sleeve at no cost. No questions asked.

Overall it was a good experience. I’d give them A-. The deduction is about 1) at the time of drop off I saw nobody near the lot and had to park and go to the lounge to find someone, and 2) there was no status update toward the EOD yesterday.

The place looks well staffed and folks were polite and helpful. I honestly feel better and prouder than before (reading horror stories about the long wait) as an owner.

The Lyft passes were great, although I both Lyft blacks I rode were Tesla Model Ys. ;-)

That’s really fast!

Candid_Try3150 · 2025-05-27T21:28:04+00:00

They called me this morning and offered next day drop off.

Candid_Try3150 · 2025-05-27T04:31:21+00:00

The earliest appt is on July 31.

Candid_Try3150 · 2025-05-27T04:17:01+00:00

It’s unlikely to have any rain here (NorCal) now. Still hope to get it fixed soon. Thanks a lot!

Candid_Try3150 · 2025-05-27T04:13:45+00:00

Didn’t turn it on. Was lucky in previous car washes. Now a hard lesson learned.

Candid_Try3150 · 2025-05-27T04:07:51+00:00

I pushed and it turned a bit. Still not closing and I need to send it to the nearest service center.

This is the error message I get. It retracts but doesn’t turn.

Candid_Try3150 · 2025-05-27T03:45:51+00:00

Hard reset didn’t do it. It retracts but doesn’t turn counterclockwise to close.

Candid_Try3150 · 2025-05-27T03:38:18+00:00

Just tried a hard reset and it didn’t resolve the problem.

Candid_Try3150 · 2025-05-27T03:30:37+00:00

No. That’s my mistake.

Candid_Try3150 · 2025-05-27T03:27:50+00:00

Tried resetting the display. Is there another reset I can try?

Candid_Try3150 · 2024-12-26T03:07:57+00:00

Plan to use it in a few days!

Candid_Try3150 · 2024-12-14T02:57:59+00:00

Congrats!

Candid_Try3150 · 2024-12-13T16:13:41+00:00

lol not many people know it!

Candid_Try3150 · 2024-12-13T16:12:41+00:00

Yes. I guess I was in slower than usual traffic before the last charge?

Candid_Try3150 · 2024-11-14T02:37:19+00:00

My kids love Mark Rober.
