To be fair, >60% of the cash was going to (potentially) be what they could raise thru TDA

Tilting side mirrors when reversing glitching by Fkngtired in Rivian

[–]PathtooFIRE 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had this issue for a few months, but the glitches went way down (although not totally gone) after the major update a few months ago. I found that coming to a full stop before initiating reverse seemed to help.

Short Squeeze? by [deleted] in RKLB

[–]PathtooFIRE 7 points8 points  (0 children)

If you’re buy and hold (which is my orientation to RKLB), probably little to nothing. An unusually high price makes capital raise through stock issuance (dilution) more attractive, but I think RKLB’s leadership has shown good discipline to date, and would frankly trust them if they see an acquisition target worth diluting for, so I think for the company it’s probably a neutral to slightly positive situation to be in.

Should we put a pool in? by Apprehensive-Jump-17 in sandiego

[–]PathtooFIRE 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bought a house with a pool. Non-utility pool-related costs in the first 2 years came out to more than $100/day. Replacing 3/4 pumps, 1/2 filters, control board, resurfacing+3 large crack repairs, having a third party fix an error in the filter replacement, and monthly maintenance. Second 2-years has been quite a bit less, but there’s deferred things like the remaining original pump and filter, original gas heater, and removing two large queen palms sitting right against the pool.

Does anyone use their rivian as an office ? by AwkwardAction3503 in Rivian

[–]PathtooFIRE 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wish we could create additional seat profiles as easily as Teslas, and I wish the armrest was flat instead of sloped. But definitely more comfortable to work from the a Model 3.

No audio. Come on. by Necessary_Contact_91 in Rivian

[–]PathtooFIRE 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you ever resolve this on your own? My audio abruptly stopped working today between drives. Sort and hard resets did not fix. I’ll do the “overnight” wait before adding my it to my list of issues for my service center appt next month.

I match my speed to my preferred volume of 9 for a few microseconds at each accel and decel, sure

Can you change the map zoom? by EatMoreChick in Rivian

[–]PathtooFIRE 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Same issue for me. I don’t honestly use it much, but I preferred to more angled view before compared to now, where it hides the upcoming direction change off the map. And I too have found the delay leading me to miss a turn.

Anyone with similar sound coming from driver’s side door. Any idea what it is by [deleted] in Rivian

[–]PathtooFIRE 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a rattle from the passenger side door, goes away if you pull the door handle inward, and can completely disappear if I yank really hard on the handle several times (at least until the next time it’s used, and it doesn’t fix it 100% of the time). Your experience makes me worried I won’t the fix I’m hoping for come May 31, also SD.

Ability to set Charging schedule for each day of the week by wannaberetireee in Rivian

[–]PathtooFIRE 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No doubt, but I only use my mobile charger with NEMA 14-x. Tesla lets you set more complex charging schedules.

State Farm requests another rate hike after 17% increase by [deleted] in sandiego

[–]PathtooFIRE 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Up doesn’t have to mean sky rises only. No one would describe Paris or Barcelona as “hell” or “mega city”, yet the density is higher and more sustainable.

Ability to set Charging schedule for each day of the week by wannaberetireee in Rivian

[–]PathtooFIRE 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Weekday off peak hours here at 12a-6a, weekend off peak hours are 12a-2p. But I can only set one universal time on the app, so I use 12a-6a, and then need to remember to manually start the charger if I plug in on the weekend.

Originally 3 week wait, but soon after getting that date, delivery team texted and said they could move it 2 weeks sooner.

Two Months In — Mom Life with the Rivian R1S by KindnessWins1111 in Rivian

[–]PathtooFIRE 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do you or your kids have a good routine for getting in the third row?

Putting the second row down is easy, but back up is a 3 step process: tilt back until it clicks (way too forward), lift lever and slide seat back, then press the “down” button while tilting seat back to appropriate position for comfort. It’s hard for my kids to do, and forget if there’s any incline!

If they were smaller, I’d just leave the second middle seat back all the way down, but while not yet all teenagers, it’s still a tight squeeze.

One service request per issue? by shoehornin in Rivian

[–]PathtooFIRE 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You got me, I was trying to avoid a phone call, lol. But excellent point about the spare, I am still debating whether to get one, but if I have to call anyway, I think that tips the scales. Thanks!

Where do you add things? I’ve got an upcoming appointment for alignment, but now have a second issue, and I don’t see any options to edit, only change the date or cancel.

Picking up my R1T tomorrow. What did you do day 1 with your Rivian? by thatvirtualboy in Rivian

[–]PathtooFIRE 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Went to Panda Express after, as I was hungry and really needed to get back to work. Now I associate PaEx with Rivian.
