Like how long comming up with and deploying a revised powered tonneau takes? That problem was know before Job #1 left the plant. Something like over a year and a half ago. You defend that the way the real word works, too?
I think that's a bit different.. the Tonneau was a design flaw. The AC issues seems to be new.. something started causing an issue when there wasn't one before (either the install process changed or the part is defective). I'm not making excuses... I have just been on the other side where there is a team scrambling to 1) try to get an impacted vehicle to Normal for evaluation and trouble shooting. Then, figuring out what caused it, and how many (VIN range) is impacted, then find a solution (maybe required a vendor to ship a ton of my parts, which need to be tested to confirm the issue is fixed). I guess my point is... if it is a vendor part that has gone bad (which is something Rivian wouldn't know about till more than 1 customer reported it to an SC and that data ended up back in Irvine where they could triage)... what exactly does someone expect Rivian to do at the moment? They acknowledged there seems to be something wrong, they provided guidance that it is not a safety issue (therefore you can drive your R1... you don't need to park it) and they are working on figuring out how to solve the problem. Sounds like the right path.
Rivian says it’s operating normally.
Maybe @kanundrum wants another R1S.
Anything similar on yours?
This thread is one of the many that I have read that have me thinking about canceling my order.
Yeap but AC works so whatever lol
That is a difficult decision. I would have 100% returned the vehicle and kept my RR Sport if I discovered this issue during my 7-day period. Overall, the R1S is a very nice SUV but not perfect by any measure. I was not expecting perfection from a new company but this is ridiculous.
