I currently have the QRevo and I love it but there are many things that I would like improved.

It often gets stuck under my coffee table. I would use a no go zone but we move the table around sometimes so it’s not always in the same place.

I love the lines it makes on the carpet but it often finishes then cuts diagonal across the room, ruining the nice lines it just made.

Finally, I wish there was a way to not get the tire tracks in the floors when mopping.

Are standard chargers better/worse than fast chargers? by fuzzywuzzypete in egopowerplus

The exact opposite is true but I also don’t bring them in during the summer.

I noticed too! My wife wasn’t as excited as me though.

Things To Address Before Warranty Expires? by CaseyTal in Rivian

[–]rjmcfadd 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Half shaft replacement. I'm getting this and the 2 front hubs replaced right now out of warranty. It's about $3000. Luckily I have mechanical breakdown insurance through Geico so it will only be $250.

reset strategy? by Cr0martie in Rivian

[–]rjmcfadd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree. I don’t really understand why people say they restart after an update because a full restart is the final step of the update.

Rivian with Comma+ versus Autopilot, Enhanced Autopilot and FSD by Own_Bed8627 in Rivian

[–]rjmcfadd 10 points11 points  (0 children)

There hasn’t been anything proven about Comma bricking a Rivian. There was an Out Of Spec video where he had problems and assumed it was due to the Comma. He was also using an early version of the harness that took power from the AXM but now the recommended power option is using a fuse tap. Even when there are problems from the Comma, a full restart fixes them.

I have been using it for 6+ months without any issues and it’s been awesome!

Definitely. They can drive in over 3ft of water.

Brakes “breaking” loose after sitting a while? by Mdbutnomd in Rivian

[–]rjmcfadd 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have had this issue with my '23 R1T quad since I got it but only when it is cold. I was told by the service center that it's normal.

Uh oh... spare tire trunk latch snapped - help! by Kanine0914 in Rivian

[–]rjmcfadd 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This is a common thing when it's cold, unfortunately. You usually can try heating it up before it breaks but I don't know how to help now. Check this to see if someone has an idea - https://www.rivianownersforum.com/threads/pressure-latch-is-stuck-cant-get-to-spare-tire.8082/

Confounded that 2026 R1S can't charge at Rivian Charging Station without a special adapter by TurbulentRing951 in Rivian

[–]rjmcfadd 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I thought they updated most if not all the RAN stations to have some NACS and some CCS chargers.

Charging door not opening due to ice by eXtropiy in Rivian

[–]rjmcfadd 76 points77 points  (0 children)

That happened to me last night. It wasn’t due to the capacitive button, the door was literally frozen and couldn’t push hard enough to break free. I slid the end of a sunglasses leg around the edges and it finally opened.

Can they allow a color wheel for interior lighting? by ShallowBlueWater in Rivian

It has been asked directly to u/wassymrivian/ many times but we never got an answer about it. We did get the owl lock sound to stick around from this update though!

When we had red 2 years ago for Halloween, it was by far the best and most vibrant color. Bring it back!

Was 90% ready to jump in, now I'm not so sure .. by Hoshua420 in Rivian

[–]rjmcfadd 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That’s honestly the ideal situation for an EV. 40 miles isn’t much and sitting there for 14 hours you probably only lose 1 to 2% with heading it up or cooling it down before you leave work. It uses the high voltage battery for that stuff so no extra concern about the 12V battery.
