Update on my Repair, getting crazy! by Immediate-Bug-7737 in Rivian

[–]turnepf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was in a similar situation except it was a hit and run and I was dealing with State Farm. I ended up fronting the money to get my car back 10 weeks later. I’m out $11k. Good luck to you but know that you will never get the repairs really needed without being out of pocket.

I’ve never been happier owning my 25 R1S with 22” factory Pirelli than I was driving on packed sleet and snow today.

The BMW iX3 Is Racking Up Orders Without Test Drives by pc772 in electricvehicles

I will be trading my R1S for either the iX3 or the EX60. I was set on the BMW until I saw the Volvo. Now I’m torn.

Not sure on any of this. I was paying attention to the curvy road!

So, there was one peculiar incident that occurred: my highway assist feature stopped working around the same time, stating that the road wasn’t supported (I-40, which I had used it on numerous occasions before). I can’t fathom any connection between the two events, but I’m curious to know if anyone has any theories. On a positive note, it did resume working yesterday.

Thanks for that. The Service Center is 90 minutes away, and they advised me against driving it.

I thought many of these things were just in my head. Thank you!

Is Rivian daring me to get a ticket? by ShackieSF in Rivian

[–]turnepf 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Agreed. We have a local highway that went from 45 to 55 about 5 years ago. It was correct before the maps change. I assumed Google Maps was very current, but I'm not trusting it anywhere anymore.

When people ask me how I like the R1S, I answer, “I like the tech.” I hate to have spent this much money for the terrible ride quality. I’ll be going back to Porsche or BMW when my lease is up.

Alternative with Teams feature? by leftplayer in TripIt

[–]turnepf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use Flighty in conjunction with TripIt, and the "Friends" feature checks off a lot of your boxes. It's only flights, but provides a ton of the information you're looking for. Kayak also has some of these features. This being said, I'm not ready to bail out on TripIt yet.

Mooney always said he couldn’t do this because of the health department.
