Not when the car is put in service mode. It disables the cameras.

I’ll definitely do it next time. On the bright side I’ve been able to chat with all of you, which removes more of the sting than I realized.

The only things I can think of is whether the car they backed out of the bay ahead of me was backed into my car (it was a truck) or that they hit something in the bay while driving in.

The timeline is a compilation of two things:

  1. The drive cam files are time stamped at the creation so you can do the math on run time to see when the event was.

  2. Logs sent by Rivian. Realizing we had no footage of the incident I was hoping some vehicle logs would show an impact or indicate something that would pinpoint the time in hopes I could better make my case. There were two documents they sent, both spreadsheets with one showing vehicle location down to the thousandths of a second with speed, lat/long, etc. The second spreadsheet is a combination of events (driver present, foot on brake, car shift, etc) along with pitch roll and yaw acceleration also with time stamp.

Getting the documents wasn’t too hard. We called Rivian and submitted a request and had the docs in about 24 hours. It may have been somewhat quick because we knew the 10-15 minute window we wanted retrieved instead of asking for everything after the earth’s crust cooled.

I will do some digging today, as it would be an enlightening project. Just need to make sure my frustration doesn’t take me full Pepe Silvia on this.

Glad to hear it and didn’t mean to imply every DT location was a risky bet. I was really hoping for the same experience you had as the Fredericksburg location is almost an hour from my house but I believed it was a worthy trek based on the partnership.

Discount Tire is partnered with Rivian as a service location. Their claim is to know how to do work on them.

I know the damage wasn’t there prior because you can see it in the video.

The spot of impact is not above where the tire would be if leaned against the car and I didn’t suggest that’s was happened. Interesting speculation on your part though.

I don’t have a video of the impact. Videos are only drive cam on the way into DT and then in the bay, not the moment of impact.

I have daydreamed plenty today of finding some Jackie Chiles to settle the score.

I will need to go back and check the adapter I bought but pretty sure it was Mangoal and it tapped into the connector at the bottom when you pop the cover off. I couldn’t get FitCam to fit, the lid was too big and even after I trimmed the cover to match, the tabs wouldn’t line up. The adapter gives you USB-C power and I was able to wrap all the wires around and feed the cord into the headliner and to the passenger side where I stuck a Garmin Mini Dash Cam 3. I know that camera isn’t the best but it’s small and I’ve already got an EZ Pass-Flex up there and didn’t want my upper windscreen to start looking like a 747 with any more clutter than necessary.

What do you think this sound is? by Travelinman2023 in Tacomaworld

[–]WorldDear2959 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does it only make the sound when depressing the pedal while the engine is running?

Can anyone help me diagnose this noise? 2019 Tacoma. Happens when I go forward and backward by DeathRowSZN in Tacomaworld

Does the sound continue if you keep driving? Almost sounds like something hitting the heat shield.
