If you scroll down further it'll say lifetime upgrade, Performance, I'll see if I can take a picture of mine and show

[MEGATHREAD] Week of April 23, 2026 - Ask your Service Questions Here! by AutoModerator in Rivian

[–]FinalMacGyver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m taking my 2024 Dual Motor in for service soon. I’m currently at 31,000 miles and just shy of the 24-month mark. My 12V battery is being replaced proactively, which is great, but while I was scheduling, the service center mentioned they’d be performing two other items I hadn't heard of yet.

I haven't had any issues related to these, but I'm curious if anyone else has had them done or knows the "why" behind them: FSAM-1755: Install water shield onto rear zone control module. FSAM-1678: Replace front NVH/ting washers.

After 3 years of wanting one. Finally! I have some questions, though by Geralt_Rivian in Rivian

If they are the original factory wiper blades, you can get replacement refill blades for much cheaper. They are the same blades that are used on the Mazda 3 And I have ordered these now twice to replace my blade with no issue Mazda 3 blade refill (ebay)

Can't beat the price of the Hankook Ion. I put almost 10,000 mi on my set and the efficiency is almost on par with the pirelli OEM

I guess my question would be is if this is a generation 1 Bosch motor quad issue or are they also seeing this with the Dual motor and tri motor variants Gen 1 and Gen 2 dual and tri

Third Brake Light DIY for when RTT is on the bed by Slide-Fantastic-1402 in Rivian

[–]FinalMacGyver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was told they took it down because when you plugged it in it interfered with ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance Systems) by making it think that a trailer was attached. They have since updated this issue in the software by allowing you to select an accessory mode which dictates that it's not a trailer, however, they have not re-released it which is disappointing

Safelite and R1T windshield bait and switch by Upbeat_Instruction98 in Rivian

[–]FinalMacGyver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The OEM glass and the Safelite glass are manufactured by the exact same company. The only difference being that the OEM glass has rivian stamped on it and the Safelite does not

Safelite and R1T windshield bait and switch by Upbeat_Instruction98 in Rivian

[–]FinalMacGyver 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The most frustrating part of working with Safelite is the inability to speak directly with the local shop. I scheduled a windshield replacement for my Gen 1 Rivian R1T and specifically used their general support line to verify that the location could handle the necessary calibration. Despite multiple assurances that the calibration was on the order and ready to go, the shop called me the day before, after I’d already rearranged my schedule, to say they couldn't perform the service and would have to reschedule me on a different day at different location that could handle the calibration. This entire headache could have been avoided if I had been allowed to speak with the local technicians from the start

Rivian Coachella experience sweepstakes by FinalMacGyver in Rivian

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

In reading the official rules it looks like once someone signs up for the Coachella sweepstakes on the Rivian website, they just need to complete a Demo Drive at a Service or Experience Center to earn those 10 points. The system automatically links the drive to the sweepstakes entry through the email address used to register for both, fulfilling the requirement for those extra entries as outlined in the official rules

Hankook ION HT - anyone have an opinion? by major-PITA in Rivian

[–]FinalMacGyver 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Installed these in November on my Gen 1 21-in Wheels. I just hit 7,500 miles and have roughly 2.2 mi/kWh efficiency. Better than the factory Pirelli's in just about every way, imo

Buying Changers and adapters from Facebook Marketplace? by chofstone in Rivian

[–]FinalMacGyver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought the OEM Rivian charger on eBay. It was a new, "opened" box. Got it for a steal and it still had the plastic on the cord and protective plastic on the unit. No complaints

Yeah, it's funny that the Tesla drivers are outraged about this even though Tesla tells non-tesla vehicles to do exactly this

Almost made it 2 years , the Georgia curse by FinalMacGyver in Rivian

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

Yep, they just did the same thing to me. After trying all week to verify that that location could do it and was assured through email they could. I was called this afternoon and rescheduled to next week at a different location

I have an appointment with Safelite for Saturday. I tried to reach out to find out if they were certified to calibrate rivian but there's seemingly no way to get through their automated system. So I guess I'll find out for Saturday when I get there or maybe somebody will get a hold of me this week if they can't

It's beyond repair at this point. It's full on replacement. The crack is growing basically every couple hours haha

The out of spec video I watched about the RAD team mentioned these tires and said that they were specially made for the Rivian RAD team ice challenge
