Enjoyed the delivery, the Austin shop tweaked an out of alignment door panel. The steering wheel isn’t centered and the car pulls slighting to the right, and there’s an exterior door that looks wavy, but the head scratcher was this when I put the third row down for the first time.

I think the black armrest actually looks better than the white one when the seats are folded.

If you don't plan to use the third row often, maybe ask them to replace the white one instead of the black one.

This is humorous and fixable but does speak to a lack of attention on the factory floor, QC at the factory and the PDI at the service center!

I’m sure they noticed it but decided to fix it only if the customer complained. They probably didn’t give sufficient consideration to the possibility it would end up on a forum/social media platform though. Just dumb on Rivian’s part.

Hardly any better if they noticed and then thought “what the hell” and left it like that.

Tweet this photo @RJScaringe! This isn't the kind of QC we want at Rivian and they need to do better. This is the kind of garbage you expect at Tesla.
