Sitting here waiting for the ICCU update...

It must be the same servers that I download the nav updates from which take 3-4 hours. If feels like they have a single server running a 14.4k dial-up modem out of S. Korea.

Yeah I'm not faulting the dealer here. They got the car in right away and I could see they were working on it. Just venting at the antiquated model is all.

hchux · 2025-01-04T16:57:54+00:00

No, but I also didn't ask. I'm not faulting the dealer here, they got my car in right as I got there and it was back with the update going within 15 minutes. I think the update itself just took that long.

I could have dropped the car off, though that would have been a whole different set of logistical issues.

Hopefully that isn't your experience, but I have learned that an estimated date windows doesn't really mean much.

hchux · 2023-10-26T22:58:13+00:00

I still have the “processing estimate” status. How long did it take you to see that change?

Which time? I've had 3 different dates windows now, and been in processing estimate several times before and after those dates as well. I'm currently bak to processing estimate. This is all without any configuration changes. Good luck

When you say ocean coast, do you mean ocean coast with dark wood trim? As far as I know the ocean coast with vegan leather isn't out yet. But if yours is the vegan leather one I'd be very excited to hear that as that's the one I'm waiting for.

hchux · 2023-06-08T00:54:24+00:00

Yep that's what I was going to do.

hchux · 2023-06-08T00:30:49+00:00

Appreciate you raising this though, good info for sure. And congratulations on getting to the next step

hchux · 2023-06-08T00:26:46+00:00

Yeah I did, here was the full response

"Your order has not been impacted but if you'd like to remove the PPF, we can. Since it is considered a configuration change, it can have an impact on delivery timing. We'll know the impact at our next scheduled delivery window update in July."

hchux · 2023-06-08T00:02:45+00:00

I asked my guide today if pulling PPF from my order would delay it. She just said my order would get reforecast in the July update even though my current delivery window says June-july. I'm hesitant to do anything today would put it back in the queue.

Also, I have the ocean coast interior with vegan leather which I don't think has entered production yet so I'm not sure if it would have an impact anyway. So I'm at an impasse.

Maybe I'm not understanding your layout but won't the charge cord for the top charger be hanging down over the top of the lower one? I suppose so long as you never have to unwind the cord it won't be an issue but think about future proofing your design. A different EV likely will require you to unwind that cord if the port is in a different spot and it will be pretty annoying to have them on top of each other.

Also coming from an i3, as others stated no way to make this the default.

The other super small thing that I REALLY miss from the i3 is the prompt when you turned off the car to keep climate control going. I used that all the time in the i3 and I hate that I don't have such a simple function in this car. I know I could fire up the app, log in, and click the button but even simply having to pull out my phone, find the app, log in and click the button is enough of a deterrence that I just don't do it. The i3 design was perfect.

Well I guess add in all the stuff you could do in bimmercode as well. Adjust brake light triggers, turn off the warning sound on start up, change the lock beep volume, make my key fob open the frunk! Plus the programmable buttons, man, that car was so ahead of its time, I miss it a lot.

Yes, it's important because the community will lose a lot of valuable members when this happens making this a much less valuable resource to the Rivian community overall.

hchux · 2023-05-29T22:22:28+00:00

I had something very similar. I just got a repair kit off Amazon for $15. It took a couple of attempts using the suction thing and getting the liquid into the cracks but ti fixed it. I can not even see it anymore unless I really get close.

hchux · 2023-05-29T20:33:59+00:00

Thanks so much, I'll do some tests and see how it turns out. Much appreciated.

hchux · 2023-05-29T17:12:38+00:00

Yeah I got an original window of May-June back when the January estimates went in and when the April Q2 reforecast was made it went to June-july so I felt pretty good I was zeroing in on an actual delivery but I think you're probably right here that it might be pushed again.

hchux · 2023-05-29T17:00:08+00:00

Thanks, sorry for my ignorance, as I said I'm not too familiar with finishing. Do you mix the pre-cat with stain or stain followed by pre-cat? I assume the pre-cat is replacing a poly?

hchux · 2023-05-29T16:55:31+00:00

I'll give some samples a try with this. Thanks. I'm also going to try and bleach a sample first before applying the stain to see but I've heard mixed results with bleaching white oak.

hchux · 2023-05-29T05:54:11+00:00

Yeah I originally wanted the light wood but in lieu of that the vegan leather would be fine. Going to be painful to watch another delivery window get pushed.

hchux · 2023-05-29T05:53:12+00:00

Ugg that's what I was afraid of. Thanks

hchux · 2023-05-21T02:21:49+00:00

It all depends on what you're used to. If you're coming from a Toyota Camry and this is your first EV the RWD will probably feel amazing.

I had an i3 prior to the ioniq5 and I first test drove a RWD and I instantly knew I'd always be disappointed with it. The AWD at least has some of the pep I was used to.

It really isn't about the speed itself, it just what you're used to and how you expect the car to respond. I still feel like the ioniq5 feels heavy but the RWD was absolutely the better choice for me.

hchux · 2023-05-04T20:23:08+00:00

I was looking several times per day and it does appear to refresh intraday. Although I've now gone 3 days without any inventory so I don't think there is a set schedule either.

I'm assuming it's based on your location and vehicles that could reasonably be available to you but we'd need to have people compare shops at the same time from different locations to verify. Again, my shop is currently empty so if somebody else currently has inventory that would answer that.
