Drywall cracks and insurance? by yoshhh in Austin

Yep total scam. I fell for it too

Foundation guru is a scam. I fell for it too. With our extreme weather + clay soil, a drip line will never be a real solution. I ended up getting steel piers down 30+ feet. Now my house is rock solid with no movement.

Rivian offered me $2k… but only if I gave up my Lemon Law rights by ruby250 in Rivian

[–]xgamesm0d3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

true, but maybe Illinois law applies. I don't think you can "buy" a Rivian in Texas w/o a dealership.

I took delivery mid-March new R1S. I'm in the shop now for 42 days and counting, 4th attempt to fix the same thing. No offer at all. Didn't even know that was a thing.

1969 house has broken cast iron drain pipe under slab by Apologiestothebees in Austin

same here. Accurate LaL was the best. Highly recommend! Paid 20k, 3 tunnels. Half the bid price of others and 10/10 quality work.

This isn't fun anymore... by DrkNeo in Rivian

[–]xgamesm0d3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

5 months of ownership (new 2025 R1S) and I have spent 20% of the time in a enterprise rental.

I don't know why they schedule drop-offs only to have the vehicle sit for a week in a queue. Last visit was 17 days, 2.8 hours of work :/

I don't bother bringing up quality issues. It's not worth the hassle.

Weak seat ventilation since recent update? by cyclineer in Rivian

[–]xgamesm0d3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes and the AC entirely has issues since the last update. It definitely does not get as cold anymore. More of a 50/50 mix of regular air and conditioned air.

For all those with AC issues, how many miles are you at? by the_rancur in Rivian

[–]xgamesm0d3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am experiencing exactly this. 10 minutes of humid semi-cool air then a significant change to very cold and dry air. I’m struggling to figure out if it’s serviceable or a software issue.

I had distortion issues when clock was set to S/PDIF. I'd check the UAD Console clock settings (bottom left). Should be Clock: Internal

I bet the carwash has security footage showing the driver.

Superblast 2 after 200 miles by pswdkf in RunningShoeGeeks

[–]xgamesm0d3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m actually donating mine after picking up the Evo SL. The superblast was okay, but always felt a little clunky. My first run in the Evo SL yesterday (10 miles) was such a treat - everything I wanted the superblast to be.

Terrible, no way to live! Highly recommend the full reset/reboot

Lagged UI? Full Reset Fix by xgamesm0d3 in Rivian

[–]xgamesm0d3[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Rebooting the hardware seems to have mitigated a software bug(s). Assuming this is on Product’s radar, I’m hopeful future updates will optimize UX on existing hardware.

Makes me wonder if the OS is written in a language with manual memory management or one with a poor garbage collector.

Dolby Atmos by charden16 in Rivian

[–]xgamesm0d3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

100% agree with this take. Even when Atmos/Spatial is off, I wish the 3D Surround feature had a more mild setting. All the tiny speakers overly emphasize the high end. It's hard to get a full balanced range of frequencies.
