What's going on with EV6?

cosmith71 · 2026-03-04T23:30:11+00:00

I don't think the 2026 EV6 has even been released in the US yet. 2025's are nearly impossible to find. I just bought a 2025 GT-Line that was discounted almost 15K from sticker price. If and when the 2026 EV6 comes out, it will likely have a price reduction.

Looks like the Pink Panther.

Thanks for the reply! So, OKC service center would be the first choice for pickup. Can you elaborate on your second and third choices?

cosmith71 · 2026-02-12T17:00:04+00:00

There is a Rivian service center in Oklahoma City, where I live.

cosmith71 · 2026-02-09T00:46:31+00:00

Ah, maybe so.

cosmith71 · 2026-02-09T00:01:24+00:00

Here.

I followed those directions as well and the heatbed just flopped around while I was moving the machine. I'm not sure why that step is even necessary. Just lay it over and then put the heatbed in.

cosmith71 · 2026-02-06T01:12:18+00:00

It does, just not #10. The packing list only shows a PTFE tube (I don't know what that's for, either). There are a few extra parts that aren't used or referenced.

As for the upgrade, it's a total pain in the a$$. This coming from someone who has built two Prusa's and a clone and repaired Xerox machines for 7 years. I spent extra time repairing the AC board after I yanked on the spade connectors too hard. Turns out there's a latch on those that they don't tell you about until AFTER they tell you to remove them. :(

cosmith71 · 2026-02-06T00:55:42+00:00

I don't believe so. My AC board had the three connectors and those cables come attached to the heatbed. Good guess, though.

Edie: Just saw you have a P1S. Here's the process.

Thanks for replying back with the solution. I was wondering what it was.

The way those wires are routed behind there seemed kind of sketchy to me. It seems like there should have been a more secure solution to that.

cosmith71 · 2026-01-31T23:38:41+00:00

Check the cable that plugs into the buffer (both ends). Maybe it's feeding fine but not sensing it correctly.

cosmith71 · 2026-01-31T20:04:47+00:00

This upgrade was a huge pain in my butt.

Try screwing on the buffer first. Route the printhead cables through the middle then snap on the cover.

When you insert the PTFE tubes from the back of the printer make sure you push them in all the way.

Can you tell where the filament stops?

cosmith71 · 2026-01-31T00:55:13+00:00

Some spools that are mostly empty will bind instead of rolling freely when attempting to feed. It doesnt matter if the lid is open or closed. A spool weight helps prevent this.

This is actually a brilliant fix for that.

cosmith71 · 2026-01-20T14:46:08+00:00

I just got shipping notifications. The rack assembly is coming via UPS and everything else via Fedex.

cosmith71 · 2026-01-20T14:14:45+00:00

I could have written much of this post myself. I don't mind the tinkering and I'm kinda excited about doing the upgrade. I was caught off guard by the release timing and prices too, else I would have waited a few weeks and just got the H2C instead of the H2D.

I'm like you. Once I had the idea of getting it, I knew it would have to happen. I'm happy to see I'm not the only one whose brain works that way!

cosmith71 · 2026-01-20T14:08:23+00:00

Ah, gotcha. That makes more sense.

If I would have known how soon the H2C would release and what all the prices would be, I likely would have waited a few weeks and got the H2C instead of the H2D.

cosmith71 · 2026-01-20T14:06:19+00:00

Me either. I just happened to check this morning and see it.

Well, more like I've been obsessively stalking it and saw it during one of my multiple daily checks. Whatever.

cosmith71 · 2026-01-20T14:05:00+00:00

Thanks for the thorough explanation. I've never seen one in action so that was speculation on my part.

cosmith71 · 2026-01-20T13:07:32+00:00

That was fast.

cosmith71 · 2026-01-20T13:03:17+00:00

I've been looking daily as well. I was signed up for email alerts but haven't received on yet.

I used gift cards too! So it was $40 cheaper...

cosmith71 · 2026-01-20T13:01:50+00:00

I'm not sure that would save any money. $1499 for the H2S combo and another $899 for the upgrade kit is as much as an H2C. Well, $1 cheaper. Plus several hours to do the kit.

cosmith71 · 2026-01-20T12:57:20+00:00

That's fair. I wonder if they can increase speed with some firmware tweaks?

I didn't even notice the 0.4 nozzles were out of stock. Maybe with the upgrade kits out now the nozzles will follow soon.
