And your thoughts? Would you do it again?

 

[dleepnw]

What was the wear on the drivers seat, what work did you have done and how much did it cost?

 

[Greg Chick]

No 12 vdc batteries? My tailgate cap failed as well.

I’m in arbitration with them for refusing to honor their warranty. My seats and consoles are all bubbling and peeling, parts falling off, etc. I’d love to chat, [email protected] or instagram @rentourrivian

Check out my videos with millions of views, thousands and comments and shares but Rivian seems oblivious. When companies don’t respect your early adopters and focus instead on building your next piece of trash, they go out of business. It’s that simple.

You rent it out on Turo? Does that change the warranty coverage at all?

No. In fact, because it very rarely is rented, the condition is documented and the car is detailed and maintained in pristine condition, proving no negligence on our side. If you turned it into a dog grooming truck, for example, or did after market changes, that would void the warranty.

If it was maintained in pristine condition, then why the litigation over interior degradation?

Because the problem is that Rivian used materials that are not fit for purpose. Are you really this stupid?

Wow. I bet you’re fun at parties.
If it was a wide spread issue we’d all be bitching about it. I’m only at 30k but everything still looks good as new.
I hopefully they get you sorted out at least.

Well, I do understand the definition of 'pristine', so it appears I've got one up on you.

It is a widespread issue in my car on every single surface at this point. You can see on my instagram if you’re interested. I think the issue is that most people aren’t actually looking as closely as I do because we maintain ours so well. I bet if you go look you will see peeling and bubbling, especially with Ocean Coast. Even the dark trim I have friends with the same issue it’s just much less noticeable.

No way this is caused by an acute act of negligence on any driver’s part. It’s literally every single surface of the vinyl interior.

And, I’m a blast at parties. You’re the Debbie Downer, man.

It appears you don’t understand what “pristine” means…

Just a few of MANY customers complaining about the same thing

Also check out the comments on my instagram where hundreds of Amazon delivery drivers state that they have piles of pieces that have fallen off the delivery vans. They’re just falling apart. But, yeah, I’m the only one…

I haven’t seen any complaints about peeling seats. Perhaps the product you’re using to clean them is causing the problem.
