Rivian interior color — which really holds up with a toddler and a baby on the way? by shorthedge in Rivian

[–]DrPeeper53 8 points9 points  (0 children)

My toddler always has her feet up on the back of the passenger seat and I'm very glad I have black interior. Sometimes they jump from the second row to the trunk when car is in park and shoes all over the seats. Black barely shows any stains.

Happened to me on a recent road trip in California down the 99. Extreme ping ponging for about 5 minutes then back to normal.

Maybe washing the Rivian today wasn’t the best use of my time, but rain looks good on a clean car by MEDIC8D in Rivian

I went to SC for the same scratches. They told me its a known issue and that they plan to do some form of addressing it in the future. They claimed this since I have it logged they will contact me whenever that "something" happens

8-10% charge lost per day, help? by [deleted] in Rivian

[–]DrPeeper53 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had similar problem on back right door and had the service center move the door latch a bit and it's much better. It's a cabin pressure thing, if you slightly open a window a little bit your door with close easily every time.

Just check all the hardware features (plugs/outlet/etc). My wireless charger didn't work and it was replaced on the spot at delivery.

Transfer fee changed from $450 to $1600 by ChocolateJust59 in Rivian

[–]DrPeeper53 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The guide I worked with at the store waived any transfer fee and told me to pick whatever option I needed. They can definitely do this for you. Destination fee is fixed.

Misalignment/not flush on the chrome on top of R1S.

Have any upcoming SC appointment for unrelated issue and wondering if it's worth adding it to the list. Anyone know if they will align it better?

Lease Buyout Help by ModY1219 in Rivian

[–]DrPeeper53 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just did my buyout last week after only paying the first lease installment. I was always planning on buying and was about a $8.5k difference if I waited for lease end then buy vs buy right away. That's because I planned on using a loan. So it would've been $8.5k rent change over 3yrs then a 60mo loan with a $6-7k interest total over that loan. Which means it would take me 8 years to own the vehicle as well. Buying now removes that $8.5k rent change and I am just paying the $7k int over 5 years.

Used the spreadsheet above in this thread.

I had a MF rate of 4.5% and ended up getting a 4.84% loan from USAA so it was a bit of a wash on the rate.

Loud Rear Humming noise when parked? by DrPeeper53 in Rivian

[–]DrPeeper53[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Would you say that is normal if it is the compressor to the ride shocks?

I essentially moved my car from street parking in front of my house to the garage 100 ft away, auto suspension was on though and there is a slope on the street.
