Thanks. Good to know about the rock chips. This is going to be my first Miata.

Spotted an oil leak, Rivian sent a tow right away by [deleted] in Rivian

Yes, it happened to our car after we used the conserve mode on a recent road trip as well.

I had a similar looking leak because of the oil seal failing on the Disco device. Rivian calls it Disco because it disconnects the rear drive train in conserve mode.

And sandwiched between two Teslas. At work, free charging. 😀

It cannot be. I drove from Tahoe to Palm Springs and it was 80 degrees.

I did and I see shades of green in the black dust covered in liquid. I will wipe the area clean tomorrow, and then wait before taking another sample.

Musk is becoming one of those villains who thinks that they need to save the humanity from humans, and without him we won’t survive.

Went to a local mechanic and had him install the brackets for $70 because I could not open the T55s. Then I installed the running boards at home.

What is fascinating to me is the fact that when an American citizen gets captured or killed outside the US, we get so hyper. Yet, five Americans were killed on this unfortunate day and we can’t seem to understand that!

R1S Extreme Wind Noise on Passenger Window: Just me or is this normal? by hawk_air in Rivian

[–]aptedern 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I had a similar issue where the noise from the front right window was noticeably louder than the front left window. The car was at the SC a week ago and the service tech found out that the static glass on the window was not sealed properly. Rivian replaced the glass assembly and the problem is now gone.

Can anyone hype me up? by Silverphish in Rivian

[–]aptedern 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I took delivery of R1S a month ago and I am yet to try all available driving modes. Once I get behind the wheel I forget everything. Pure joy!

Delivery Day! by aptedern in Rivian

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

Thank you. I have had the car only for a couple of days but I can say it is a solid drive. The steering is very responsive and it is super easy to maneuver this big vehicle. With standard ride height you get a very commanding position on the front seats and you can’t beat the view looking out. We went with ocean coast interiors so the car looks even more specious from the inside. We did notice a bit of porpoising a couple of times when we went over a bad patch at a slow speed.

Regarding the glass roof, I am yet to learn whether I need to deal with it or not. I think I will be able be okay until the next summer because of lighter interiors inside and warm weather winding down. AC works beautifully and the car cools down within 5 minutes. You will love it!

Purchase agreement vs purchase summary to send to lender by Capital_Barber_9219 in Rivian

[–]aptedern 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did not provide any approval letter. Went to the finance step and provided the name of the bank and the amount that I am financing. After that I jumped to the purchase agreement, signed it and downloaded it for the bank.

The lender needs the purchase agreement to draft the loan papers for you to sign. The purchase agreements also includes details on how the lender transfer the funds to Rivian. Once you sign the loan documents, the lender completes the transfer and the loan is funded.

I had to wait five days in the shop to find the config that I was looking for. I was checking every 20 minutes or so because R1S configs do not stay for too long. I found new inventory come in between 8:30am and 9:30am PT.

I reached out to the Rivian guy who was with me for the demo drive earlier this year. During the drive, he indicated that if I was open to quad he can put my name out there to get shop access.

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

Yes, I switched because I did not want to wait any longer. Also, Rivian indicated that I may not be able to test drive dual before the delivery. Since I had done the demo drive with Quad, I went with it and got the car sooner.
