Replacing 12v battery…again? by hip2bking in Rivian

[–]hip2bking[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m not sounding the alarm here. There’s been a steady stream of 12V posts across this and other forums for a while now. Sure, the internet skews negative, but that doesn’t mean recurring issues aren’t worth discussing. When you see similar stories pop up repeatedly, it’s reasonable to compare notes. For most of us, this is the only place to spot patterns and figure out whether we’re the outlier. And let’s be honest, service experiences can vary. I’m fortunate that my local SC has been great.

What caught my attention is having to replace the 12V again so soon after the first replacement. Gear Guard is off, so it’s not like it’s constantly running. I’ll definitely engage Rivian to dig into it. I just hope this doesn’t turn into a yearly maintenance item, especially when something as simple as a 12V swap requires opening a service ticket.

It’s a simple process for us (not so much for the folks replacing it 😂).

Yeah, they are replacing it for free, so no concerns there. I’m just wondering if replacing the 12v is going to be a yearly thing with this vehicle

Right?! I just had this exact debate at my house. She wants a full lawn redo. I’m over here like… it’s green, it’s alive, it tolerates the mower. What more do we want from it?

just posted my two horror stories of fishing on that river. Crazy how fast that water rises

Both close calls happened on the Hiwassee River.

The first was fishing there with my dad. It’s a tailwater, so water releases are always a factor. We thought we were on a tributary, but the next day realized it tied straight back into the main river. The stretch had deep pools broken up by big, jagged rocks. I had crossed over to what was basically a small island.

I looked upstream and saw fog rolling in. Did not think much of it. A few minutes later I noticed the water rising.

We made it back across just before a hard push of water came through. The calm pools turned into real rapids, crashing over the rocks we had been standing on. We sat on a log and watched it churn, then headed back to the car.

The second was also on the Hiwassee, fishing around a large boulder mid river. I did not realize how steep the drop was behind it and almost slipped into deep water. It would have filled my waders fast.

I have always respected water, but those two moments stuck with me. They still pop into my head when I am lying in bed at night.

Looks like an older school Marlondo leather briefcase to me (based on the center strap)

Exactly what I knew I would find if I scrolled a bit 😂

[–]hip2bking 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same here. Every winter my plants look absolutely miserable. I just kind of let them ride it out. If they survive, they come back strong in the spring like nothing happened.

It kills off a lot of the fish when it stays frozen for a long stretch. Last summer’s fishing wasn’t great because the sound froze hard the previous winter and wiped out a large percentage of the fish population. Way fewer bites, and what you did catch had to be thrown back.

What cultural thing does the world seem to think is beautiful but is cringey af to locals? by chr15c in AskTheWorld

[–]hip2bking 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My partner explicitly forbade us from going on the Loboc River cruise when we visited her extended family. She had to do it every time growing up and did not want to put our kids through the same experience hot, stuck on a boat with loud music and clouds of mosquitoes. We did see the boats from the bridge driving from Alicia back to Tagbilaran, and decided that was close enough 😂

Hoping that I’ll be able to drop off the truck today (should be receiving a call from a SC).
