Broken tonneau, cracked roofs, pooling water, keys not working....taking delivery now seems like a joke.

[Gsxr150]

I'm continuing to read an over abundance of messages about Rivians being delivered with broken tonneau, cracked roofs, keys not working, and a laundry list of other issues. Why on gods green earth would you accept that trash product?

I don't mean to be disrespectful, but we look like dummies to outsiders. No person, buying any brand, should accept garbage broken products on day one.

How desperate do you need to be to accept delivery on a truck with a broken power tonneau on day 1? That's ludicrous. Even then, most of you know things are going to break and factor that in your purchase. Beta testing at its finest...cool if you want in on that. "I'm using my tonneau cover as little as possible"...that sounds idiotic.

I'm reviewing with my guide today and may postpone this thing for another 12 month. I have no probelem just keeping my current car. Rivian needs to get their shi* together.

Why are you assuming that people are taking delivery of trucks with all of those issues? I can recall only a couple people here who stated taking delivery of trucks with broken tonneaus, and the service center simply disables it in the open position for them until the new tonneau is available. The other issues all happen weeks or months after they have been driving the truck…. JUST like they would with any other vehicle.

If you are so upset about the anecdotal condition of the trucks being delivered, tell your guide you want to wait or cancel your order. There are at least 90,000 people who will happily take your spot in line.

Who's your guide? I'll let them know you're not ready myself. Give the vehicle to someone who wants it.

I'm just a data point but I don't have a broken tonneau, cracked roof, keys that don't work or a laundry list of broken things on my truck. Have been enjoying it so far.

Based on your other comments in different threads around being drugged - I can tell you that I was on all sorts of drugs when I took my delivery. Ever since, each time I drive my R1T I get a new hit and keep the high. Over 1000 miles in since July and even Hunter Biden can't keep up with my bender.​

Going for another hit now. Take care!​

LOL. You think anonymous posts on the internet is a statistically significant sample? Guess you’ve never bought anything on Amazon where (gasp) every product has at least one bad review.

You might want to consider that there are thousands of people not posting anything and just enjoying their trucks. Go hang out on the Audi Internet forums and you’ll wonder how they’re still in business.

And, sure, telling us that we’re desperate idiots definitely doesn’t feel disrespectful. Well done.

Indeed I suggest you pass and let some other desperate idiot else take on this horrible burden.

Sincerely,
R1T owner with zero problems, having a blast…

Close your eyes, throw a dart and you'll land on a post about garbage quality this or that. This forum is the precise reason I may postpone. Respectfully, I appreciate you beta testers!

One thread. The one where the guy accepted a broken truck. That's not normal. No pun intended.

Mine has a few issues, but wouldn't trade it for anything else. Not desperate. Just reality. Nothing in automotive world is close right now. I cant seem to drive it enough. Just all out fun.

If perfection is what you desire, give the Lexus or Acura dealers a look. I had good luck there with vehicles that were built really well. Not even in same game funwise to the Rivian, but solid built machines.

Or go buy a Lighting ?

That might be the plan, my friend. They can beta test my truck for me so Rivian can provide me with another (much revised) truck in 12 months at my locked pricing.

I'm here for the ratio...

Or just wait 12 more months and pay the exact same for a much more revised truck that works, and is a year newer? Rocket science. ?

The majority of trucks don't have massive issues.


But the real reason people get the truck is the long pedal.

I don’t have my R1T yet. I drive a Tacoma - generally considered one of the most reliable, well built trucks on the road. If you go right now to the Tacoma forums you will find hundreds of threads from people complaining about various things they don’t like or things that broke. It’s all anecdotal. It doesn’t mean anything other than SOME people have opinions and SOME people had issues with their trucks.

It doesn’t really seem like you are ready for this whole early adopter thing - I encourage you to cancel your order, delete your forum account and go buy a vehicle that is perfect and has no issues.
