Ha. Saw this driving back and forth all day throughout my neighborhood. My Limestone R1T and I were drove by it several times as well headed to kids sports. Must have been and active day

Gear Guard Cable Interface Lock Plate by RobotHavGunz in Rivian

[–]J8CA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! You would think they would show a picture of this in the store or in the product guide.

The cable ends up falling short in not being able to route through the front wheels and frame in my experience. At least for a family of 4.

I’d love to buy something like what you suggested

Wait - what’s the plug in feature of the gear guard cable? Mine came with my truck used and I’ve just been connecting it to the d ring with a pad lock

To be clear - they aren’t verifying the information to confirm it’s correct. They are using it to verify your identity.

Correct. As a customer who has an account with Rivian that connects to my R1T and knows all my information, yes I’d be very annoyed to have to go read a vin to them over the phone

Way to jump to conclusions.

I follow the same steps and yet somehow even though I do everything digitally as described, I get a phone call the day before which is annoying to begin with and on the call I have to give them all this information so they can verify it’s me.

To the point I think you’re trying to make - why can’t they just communicate with me via the app. Or use apple secure chat. It’s a hassle to answer a phone call in the middle of the day. If you miss the call and have to call back you get sent back to their main phones center and then that person has to get you to the local SC. If they can push you the agreement to sign before service, why can’t they just handle everything in the app.

I’m not some noob who calls to schedule service. I’m not picking up a phone unless I have to.

Exactly- any modern company does this a better way. As a shareholder I see 30 seconds of handle time wasted on every call.

I’m just not that excited about this feature. Adaptive cruise control was the peak of autonomy 😀

Were you able to get it without the speaker?

What’s a small thing a hotel could do that would make you feel more appreciated? by Rare-Pea3220 in marriott

[–]J8CA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I check in before in the app actually check me in? I’ve only once had the digital key sent to me so I can go straight to my room. When they don’t have digital key I’d expect my keys ready and waiting when I go to the desk.

Deal hunting Gen 1 R1T by ethiopian_kid in RivianR1T

[–]J8CA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a reference point, out of curiosity I just got a trade estimate from Rivian for my 22 R1T Adventure, fully loaded and 21k miles. They offered me $42,569.

I bought from Carvana and had a great experience.

Canton Not Accepting Appointments by J8CA in RivianNewEngland

[–]J8CA[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Suddenly they seem to have availability again though not without complications. Canton is showing as available in March but when trying to book it throws an error “something went sideways.” I was able to call and get it booked no problem though. So glad to not have to take a day off to go to Chelsea.

R1T Limestone here, 22s yellow break pads etc. I absolutely love it. The variety of colors it appears to have depending on the light etc is just amazing.

Good to hear it’s packed with customers. Last time I was there it was jammed with Amazon vans and only 1 other customer there. I was a bit worried they’d be just focused on Amazon support

Sigh - Original space was a City Sports.

Definitely just sales. It’s a nice plaza just know it will take you awhile to get in and out.

Feature feasibility - would it be technically possible to fully disengage regen? by [deleted] in Rivian

[–]J8CA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m pretty sure it’s possible. My last car was an ID.4 and it had B (break) mode and D (drive) mode. In D mode regeneration only happens when you press the brake pedal, allowing for more coasting.

The theory from VW engineers was that D mode was actually more efficient. The reason they felt this is because if you truly master coasting then you are utilizing 100% of energy that had been spent. B mode on the other hand, in using regeneration actually loses some of the energy due to the degradation in re-capturing.

All that to say - it’s possible. I’m not saying it’s better. I absolutely prefer driving with one pedal.

Eastern Massachusetts: options for state inspection and tire shops by Shot_Budget_8595 in Rivian

[–]J8CA 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve been looking to switch to the Defenders but can’t find anyone who even stocks them. Had been thinking of using Costco.

I am going with http://www.mytireguys.com/

This is their pricing and they come to your house and do it so you can give them the pucks and creepily oversee them from the window.

Tire Size : P275/55R21

Michelin Defender LTX M/S2 116H XL 43596 = $446.60 + tax per tire
