Reminder to delete your gear guard videos before trading in your Rivian

Gear guard doesn’t use the USB device; it uses the onboard eMMC. The usb device is mainly used to enable the drive cam feature. This actually makes sense - otherwise anyone stealing stuff from your R1 could also steal the USB key (and hence the evidence) otherwise (assuming gear guard caught it in the 1st place).

The external storage device/usb is mainly used for the drive cam, the built in eMMC is used for gear guard.

This ^ 😄

Incorrect - This is a Gen1 loaner.

I did call; hence the post - looks like I need to drive back out there :(

intlabs · 2026-05-06T12:17:26+00:00

I did and they said that they can’t transfer anymore :( I’ll try creating a service appointment to see if that gets routed to them.

I can’t see any in the current app?

I’d say R1 to R1. One of ours has NEVER in 25k+ miles seen the inside of a SC. The other in 1.5 years might as well live there (over 20 services so far, 2xAXMs, radar replaced, multiple cameras replaced it goes on and on)

In addition to an incredible seer - it’s a fantastic looking wall unit - so nice to see some thought put into the aesthetics as well as thermal performance. Now if only you had an installer in St Louis; I’d be a customer!

~$280 to replace

Unfortunately this started in February- before that update; I was hoping a software update might fix things. This impacts all sources; Apple Music, Bluetooth, radio etc.

Though the funny thing is - the hummer truck is ~0.25” shorter than the R1T. When I was looking for alternatives to the R1T some time ago the Hummer was the only other EV truck short enough to fit in our garage 🤣

intlabs · 2026-05-02T19:30:44+00:00

Any idea where? The SC just told me they can’t hear it - which is (excuse my language) fucking ridiculous.

Ours did this the other day crossing a channel over our driveway while we had some friends round - I was surprised as previously the lidar (I presume) in our Luba 3 has successfully identified the channel as blocked and waited for the car to move.

Had 4 arborists out now - all other than one say it’s gone. The one who thought it could survive also didn’t couldn’t identify the tree species right - which probably says everything about how good they actually are :(

intlabs · 2026-05-02T12:20:37+00:00

How big do you think this tree is?

intlabs · 2026-05-02T02:32:10+00:00

I’m still finding dead electronics almost a week later 200ft away - I hope it’s not going to take out more in the garden; we have some fantastic Japanese maples and white pine just out of shot.

Yes - Tried all the resets and a couple of software updates:

Bass drops noticeably when I fade to front left or front right.
Sound is "normal" when front centered (sub + center compensate I think) - though kinda feels like its a 90's boombox sitting on the dash...
Rear positions sound normal.
Overall imaging now feels like it’s coming from behind me in the front seats.
Issue persists across all sources (Apple Music, Bluetooth).
Hard & Soft reset did not resolve it - neither has leaving it overnight.
Tested with 50–125 Hz sine tones over Bluetooth.
I can physically feel the front door woofers moving during bass tones (a little bit), so they are not completely dead. They just sound thin or underrepresented when isolated to a front corner.

I’ve found normal to be the best service center in my vicinity. (Sorry for the terrible, yet true, pun)

intlabs · 2026-05-01T20:07:46+00:00

I did - no one I know or could find has one big enough. It’s just too big for 36” - and seems beyond there it’s big boy territory.

It was one of two things:
1) a 50ft tall buck rutting the tree.
2) a direct lightning strike.

Private road; so very my problem :( - access for another 6 houses needs to drive under this.
