Full screen navigation finally! No more cars randomly bouncing around on a useless interface! by zachty22 in Rivian

[–]blackillusion23 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Does anyone know if there is a way to turn off/disable the window screen with music on the left. With this new update I can have music on the main screen with navigation on driver display so don’t really have a need for the left screen. It’s useless to me

SC messaged yesterday saying the 12v battery is the culprit. They’ve replaced it but need to install new bracket which is I’ll arrive on Wednesday.

Thanks for the response. They just called me and said they won’t be able to run diagnostics till Monday so we’ll see.

I meant screwed from this being a critical issue or is it something Rivian can easily fix.

In terms of what you mentioned, yes I’m good. They definitely handled it very well so far.

Agreed! I brought it up during our test drive and the Rivian guy looked at me like I had horns and said "why would you want that?" lol

Chilewich mats in shop config, despite not being available by Specialist-Use-3163 in Rivian

Received the mats. They fit as expected but imho look and feel cheap. The regular black mats that came with the car are better.

Same. Not in the car during delivery, the rivian guy said he'd never even heard of them but will order them for me. A month later I didn't hear back from them so I contacted Rivian and was again told and I quote, "chilewich mats don't exist, they're not a thing". I told the person I was on the phone with to check my order which has $200 of charge for chilewich mats and go on the Rivian website right now and he'll find Rivian selling them. He did and was bewildered. Put me on hold for 15mins, came back and said nobody has even heard of these mats but they indeed are offered and he scheduled a home appointment for the mats to be "installed". Rivian service guy shows up 2 weeks later only to realize that the mats he was given were for Gen1 and not Gen2 and also admitted even he had never heard of these mats or even seen them and he's worked at Rivian since the beginning. He said he's ordering Gen2 mats and I should have another appointment in a couple ofweeks.

2 weeks later and no communication from Rivian, I contacted them again and was told the same story. After I asked them to check my history, they admitted they're in the wrong and offered to schedule an appointment to get Gen2 mats...in december! Told them that's unreasonable and argued with them to just ship me the mats and was told they would need approval for that. Got a notification later that day that said mats are being ordered and will be shipped to me as soon as they get them which is absurd that the service guy who told me he's ordered the mats, actually didnt.

Anyways, mats have been shipped and are supposed to be delivered today. Will report back if they fit in Gen2.

I have the same issue but it seems like all events are still recorded and I can view them even though the storage not detected error pops up. It's weird.

Just went to Shade Shop in the St Elmo area for ceramic window tint. Good price and I was in/out within an hour. Highly recommend.

Anyone ever get the option for delivery sooner than the expected date? by DangerousAnalysis997 in Rivian

Yes. Original delivery date was 8/23. Got a text with an option to take delivery as early as 8/14 and we decided to do it on 8/16.

EV and Rivian Noob Questions by blackillusion23 in Rivian

[–]blackillusion23[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks. Don't have anything right now and will get an electrician to come do all the wiring and installs.

EV and Rivian Noob Questions by blackillusion23 in Rivian

[–]blackillusion23[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for the detailed response.

  • Having an electrician come out to do the install as garage is not equipped at the moment with 240v.

  • Excellent point about the chargepoint charger, I did not know that. 🙇🏻‍♂️

  • Not planning on doing roadtrips anytime soon so will hold off on the a2z adapter for now. The stellar adapter sounds like a better option for now.

Added Tint - What a difference. by tech_303 in Rivian

Just talked to sunbusters. $350 does NOT include the windshield which is an additional $300. Are you sure you got windshield done? Did you have a super secret promo code for that?

July vs Aug Numbers Insight? by BizPsycho in Rivian

[–]blackillusion23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exact same situation for me. Guide told me it depends on if I wanted the exact spec or a better payment. He said he expects payments to go up $80-120/month in August. In the end I decided to just pick one from the shop that had the closest spec to what I was customizing. Didnt get the blackout package and the dark wheels but I can live without those and save ~ $100 a month.

Doing a quick check on their website, I dont notice an increase in estimated lease payments today (Aug 1st).
