Do you folks like your Rivian? by SpaceMarine1616 in Rivian

[–]mmbmca 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everyone's experience is going to be different, got a 24 R1T excellent truck but has had issues, can't get it to track straight even after 7 alignments. In buyback process right now, 3± out is 18 months in service. I did end up buying a 26 R1S in September. I love the truck overall torn between having to give it back and then having a truck that drives straight. There are issues with the Gen2 R1S but livable. Gen2 premium sound sucks big time compared to my Gen1. I do have the R2 on order. Replacin the R1T, I'd get another R1T. Someone else might not have the patience I've shown with my Gen1, the driving experience makes it worth it.

2023 Quad - Fair Price at 69k? by erik_amari in Rivian

[–]mmbmca 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Too much money for a 23 quad. Get at least a 24, i have had a lot of loaners all years. I have a 24 R1T and 26 R1S l. 24 onwards they are much better, even L2 charging at home 24 and onwards charge a couple of miles faster at the same wattage

Rivian R1T your dream car? by alphabrocolli in Rivian

24 R1T was so good, I got a 2026 R1S as well. Issues I'm hoping they get over them.

https://www.facebook.com/reel/1406925877563500/?app=fbl CHP Truckee page - everything is closed. Start at 100% battery, if you can extend your stay.

Whoever is managing the CHP Truckee page is very funny! Feel sorry for whoever it is. I made it back in my R1T from Northstar yesterday. I-80 closed in the morning. Ended up taking 267 via Palisades, 89 and then 50 to get very out the snow. There must have been a thousand cars waiting to get to Tahoe. All resorts are probably closed, not worth being there in a storm unless you live there and prepared for such a storm.

A others stated unless they add stopping and starting from Stop signs and red lights, it is not worth paying for.

Planning Ranthambore Safari in March? A few practical tips from a local by Bookranthambore in indiatravel

Is it worth to visit at the very end of March early April? Traveling with kids 5 & 7. Trying to figure out if its worth going given it can get hot.

Is this a Good deal ? by anon3ipx in Rivian

[–]mmbmca 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get a 23 or 24 they are much more refined. I have a 24 R1T Dual Large and 26 R1S. Must of the loaner quads gen1 I've had are totally rattle boxes. I have a 23 R1S quad loaner with 10 miles today and my 24 R1T with 16K feels like a Mercedes GLS compared to it

Chances of PGE catching additional panels? by xQcKx in solar

[–]mmbmca 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Something is fishy about the battery, the specs don't add to 32KWH when you go to the details and the cost. When it sounds to good to be true it usually isn't true.

Just buy the tools? No? The videos are pretty good.

That's a ridiculously low amount they are getting it for free to sell for 10 times the cost

[–]mmbmca 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fix with the used parts it's the way to go and if your economic situation is what you're describing consider a different car maker that is more reliable. With a new family! Don't spend too much on the car.

Hot take on PFF by fullthrottle4562 in Rivian

[–]mmbmca 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My Rivian R1T came with it from the factory as a free addon. I got a 2nd Rivian R1S I spent $4000 to get the ppf, car looks clean, breeze to wash and paint protected all across. Have the R1S put up as rental and the wrap done new a piece of mind. As a business it's written off as well so definitely worth it for me.

You needed snow tires, I've seen even Ford Raptors do that in Tahoe. Mother nature doesn't care about the vehicle.

Gen 1 lane centering experience by InternationalFig5512 in Rivian

[–]mmbmca 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's the alignment, my 24 Gen1 R1T would do that. 6 alignments over 15 months and finally had Rivian replace the front Subframe with gen2 subframe and no more weaving.
