Rivian R1T
I just had this done, subframe retrofit, 2 more dampers, arms and halfshaft. Got the car back, passenger side...all is well but then the passenger door makes a nasty popping sound when it opens. Service claims they have no idea why!?!.....acts like they are doing me a favor for f'ing up my front panel to fix the rub.....now i have ugly gaps and messed up PPF.

I gotta be real, i LOVE my R1T Q/LE and I've visited the service center TOO many times but ive been pretty patient and grateful to have all these things corrected. That being said, for the first time since I've had my truck im scared to what happens when my warranty ends in December. SO many things have been fixed on this <500 VIN R1T and if its out of warranty and the trend continues, this is going to be a nightmare.

Debating on upgrading to Gen2 R1T eventhough the loaners ive used just dont feel as good as mine...or maybe throwing in the towel and getting a R2. Anyone else going though this and wondering how to move forward?
Yep, no way I keep an R1 out of warranty. Great vehicle, but just waay too complicated so I'm trading for a much simpler R2.

This is also my current plan next year, but want to see how R2 insurance/aftermarket part market evolves before ruling out an extended warranty on my truck
