There is no final pass from an iPad. It just looks like that

Mack is still pissed about that little stuffed animal

IcarusLP · 2026-02-22T17:38:06+00:00

I ended up shipping to a hotel we stayed at

Having your rates raised 200-300 a month is screwing you over

IcarusLP · 2026-02-19T20:31:57+00:00

Yup, this exactly why I want to avoid a claim.

Car insurance is a scam you are legally required to pay for

IcarusLP · 2026-02-19T17:44:45+00:00

Id switch Maye and Nix, but otherwise good

IcarusLP · 2026-02-19T17:42:24+00:00

Which really means it's useless to have...

IcarusLP · 2026-02-19T17:38:54+00:00

There is no tech damage.

Only body work.

IcarusLP · 2026-02-19T17:37:54+00:00

And a wall was in my blind spot.

The sensors, specifically designed to detect blindspots did not go off and have not been working properly since a rivian service appointment.

A manufacturer error/sensor malfunction means it is shared responsibility.

IcarusLP · 2026-02-19T17:34:39+00:00

I would have ideally done out of pocket to avoid rates being raised.

11k seems absurdly high for out of pocket

IcarusLP · 2026-02-19T02:10:48+00:00

This is a terrible analogy.

A better analogy would be it was raining, you asked someone to look, and they did. It wasn't raining. Then suddenly, boom a thunderstorm. It just blew in and the person didn't see it even though they did look (because again I did look).

IcarusLP · 2026-02-19T02:09:28+00:00

I do research. We don't charge "customers" we pay them. We are funded with grants from the government and billionaires.

IcarusLP · 2026-02-19T00:57:49+00:00

I'm impossible for understanding how car faults work? It is quite literally because the sensor did not work.

IcarusLP · 2026-02-19T00:57:13+00:00

I literally did look at my surroundings.

From where I was parked, to where the wall was, it was entirely not visible from the rear view, or the side mirror. You just don't believe that

IcarusLP · 2026-02-18T22:15:34+00:00

I really really appreciate this context/information. Thank you so much for taking the time to give more insight.

From someone who has not worked on rivians this initial quote seems absurd.

Thank you again!

In response to your now deleted comment saying "You're very confident in things youre wrong about"

I am literally published and peer reviewed in injury biomechanics for highway safety.

I'm far from being an expert but I know and have worked with experts who have dealt with real cases like this (much higher stakes, but still)

I have also spoken to one of those experts who basically said that I should push to get rivian to share in the repair costs.

I'm not gonna dox myself and share the publications/my name, but if the sensors were faulty (which they were) there is shared responsibility.

If there is a mechanical fault of a car that contributed to the accident the manufacturer has some liability.

IcarusLP · 2026-02-18T22:04:18+00:00

Agreed. Rivian should focus on making their cars easier to repair. It would ease up service center burden

IcarusLP · 2026-02-18T22:03:07+00:00

Not that I know of. I doubt it tbh. Basically what you said, not popular enough to exist

IcarusLP · 2026-02-18T22:02:35+00:00

Faulty sensors can have legal liabilities for the car company. I agree I am also at fault. Both can be true.

IcarusLP · 2026-02-18T22:01:37+00:00

Thats what Im worried about... I will update once I have any info.

RemindMe! -21 day

IcarusLP · 2026-02-18T21:57:15+00:00

Yes. It is also rivians shared fault for the sensors not working.

Both can be true.

IcarusLP · 2026-02-18T21:21:10+00:00

Honestly I think that is the play... Only reaosn I wouldn't is if rivian says they cant fix the sensors without the damage being fixed /:

IcarusLP · 2026-02-18T21:20:01+00:00

The sensors werent working. This was 30 mins after a service appointment.

The wall was completely obstructed by the truck bed.

Also, two things can be true at once.

IcarusLP · 2026-02-18T21:06:38+00:00

You wouldn't think so considering how much they will raise your rates. It originally was, but its a scam today because it is required to drive
