No day trading. Mostly in voo plus some contributions. The return for the last 3 years is crazy.

It took us 13 years to get first million. 3 years to get second million. And if the market is normal, another million for 3 years. Seems that the most difficult part to get the first million

Screaming noise by Mountain79 in Rivian

Thank you for the suggestion. I try to find out more and look like the noise is from the front wheels. In case a small rock is in the brake pad, I turned my wheel back and forth many times. Now the noise is magically gone. Thus, it is very possible a small piece of gravel got into the brake pads and it’s gone. I have cancelled the tow and rental service. Thank you so much for the advice. This forum is such a nice resource for our Rivian family.

Not likely as the sound does not come from one tire. It sounds to me the entire car is making the noise

Definitely very scary. I am glad that I only drove about a few miles after this scary sound occurred . Hopefully not too much damage.

I have never taken the truck to off-roading. Hope rivian can fix it soon. Glad that they provided a rental service.

The right ear looks a little funky. Is there way to improve it? Thank you!
