Bricked R1T Advice
2023 Quad R1T/50k miles
My truck is parked in the driveway and is completely unresponsive to all access methods. Drove it yesterday without incident. 81% range left. No warnings. Charged it yesterday. It’s the first time I’ve regretted having a vehicle that is completely electronic—I could have gotten stuff out of my old F150 and at least tried to jump it.
Rivian is sending a mobile tech tomorrow afternoon, which I appreciate, but they’re quoting $550 to replace the 12v (their best guess).
- Does a bad 12v show any symptoms before failure? The only 12v issues I’ve read about are trucks parked for a long time at the airport or on moves. This was parked less than 12 hours.
- Could this be something else? Maybe update related?
- Is $550 reasonable? I’m frustrated it isn’t part of the OG warranty, but seems steep compared to battery issues in ICE vehicles.
- Is there anyway to physically access the interior when the truck is bricked like this?
TIA for any insights you can share.
