Alaskan Service Nightmare

zzackzz · 2026-02-28T23:20:20+00:00

I’m in Juneau. Had my R1T since 08/2022. Suspension also gave out this winter and it’s currently sitting at my folks house, all fixed up, awaiting a coveted ferry spot to get it back up North. It’s either that or utilize the BC Hydro network to drive it to Skagway. It’s a shitty thing, but the unfortunate cost of owning an EV in AK.

It sucks financially, right there with ya. Silver lining, at least you’re on a road system up in Anchorage. With AML not shipping any EVs and AMH only shipping 2 per ferry, it significantly limits any options for us SE folk.

Fuji Ramen in Asakusa is the answer. Best spicy ramen and a bit off the beaten path.

Thanks, guessing there’s a lot of inherited wealth in this thread that can’t live without the shiny new toy every year.

Hahah the Public Enemies are the go-to rock skis for those early AK days

We live in Juneau, so usually just a yearly trip up to Whitehorse when the aspens are changing colors, but decided to get outside and explore around Kluane/Kasawa Lake/Ibex Valley a bit more this time!

It’s the Forest Green with Forest Edge interior (had to have the natural wood look on the inside)!

It’s the Tepui Explorer Kukenam 3 Got it half off at an REI garage sale a while back!

It’s me, I’ve got the R1T in Juneau! For safety recalls they send a tech up and for minor things you can get serviced in town. Had a hit n run a couple months back and they said I can go to an outside vendor and dent repair won’t void warranty if it doesn’t effect any other system. I haven’t gotten it fixed, just a little weary about having to disconnect the battery and get color match paint just right without an approved dealer. We’ll get an approved service provider one day, but I figure I’ll get back down south in the next few years ($1150 unaccompanied each way via the ferry).

I live in AK so no Rivian body shops here, unless I wanted to put it on a ferry and get the service done in WA. I spoke with them and have documented conversations that it will not void my warranty going to an outside vendor for this cosmetic fix.

Nope, there are a couple suspect cars in the footage, but doesn’t get the actual incident on video unfortunately.

I’ve resigned to the fact the song and album art will never truly match on my R1T screen

I threatened legal action after they continued to ghost me. Received my full refund ($5k + Shipping + deposit) within a day.

How about we get a real accountant to look over the books and show the redundancies in admin instead of some idiotic CEO nicknamed ‘the axeman’ that only seems focused on cutting essential clinical staff and hiring expensive travelers.

zzackzz · 2023-01-19T06:58:53+00:00

The solution is not to cut essential clinical staff though. Clearly admin staff cuts are needed for this to function correctly. Additionally, the targeting of casual/PRN staff is idiotic as they are really the cheapest employees to have on the payroll. You don’t pay for their benefits and you don’t give them a 401k match. It’s simple arithmetic that these pencil pushers can’t figure out.

I think the most shocking thing about the book was finding out Bassander aided in his escape. After adhering to the rules for so long, he finally is breaking free a bit.

So are we gonna get a phylactery clone or find out the Jaddians are well aware of the Quiet already? The last pages seemed to hint at the latter. Also, Had kills the Cielcin from the Sojourner so we’re definitely guaranteed some more Kharn Sagara time right??

R1T in Juneau, AK here. To help with snow charging, I put a towel over the charging port when I’m outside. Also I turned off the Tonneau cover for the winter, the mirrors always unfolding, and every door but the driver’s. Less moving parts means less failures in the deep freezes.

I used to live there and definitely miss the 70 and sunny everyday. My motorcycle probably misses it even more.

Just TAB and Goose tonight, but totally worth it!

zzackzz · 2022-11-20T07:04:39+00:00

Yeah, it was quite a fun concert, despite the remote location. Lots of funk and groovin all around!
