The restore course of was a breeze
We acquired an e-mail from Rivian someday forward of the formal announcement. That is after we referred to as to schedule an appointment for a cellular technician to come back out to Edmunds’ headquarters and examine our R1T. Our appointment was scheduled for per week after the telephone name, and we acquired a courtesy name a day earlier than to verify the time and placement. In accordance with an e-mail from Rivian, “the method [would] take a couple of minutes, merely requiring the fastener in query to be tightened to the next torque tolerance.” We’re right here to verify that the method did, the truth is, solely take a couple of minutes.
The Rivian technician arrived promptly in a yellow R1T of his personal. After inspecting the fastener in query, he deemed it essential to torque it to its new secure specification. It took the technician roughly 10 minutes or much less to finish the entire process.
Notably, that new secure specification is fairly totally different from the unique spec. We realized that Rivian engineers determined to vary the torque spec of that singular retention fastener from 80 Nm (Newton-meter) to 120 Nm.
