  1. Your Rivian Guide Experience- Meet Expectations or Less Than Stellar? (Knowledge, Helpful, Responsiveness?)

    Mine was terrible. Seemed like a soccer mommy who had no knowledge of automobiles and no training in customer service. Nice enough, though. Just not very effective.
  2. Need Advice - My R1S with 29 miles is a lemon

    I opted to receive my deposit back from Rivian and I have been waiting since March. The only response I get it that "our teams are working on it".
  3. R1S Delivery issues/build quality. Adding to the information on panel gabs and paint chips.

    I'd say you got lucky. Looks like relatively minor problems. And I emphasize "relatively".
  4. Rivian R1T Frustration

    Yu have to pay for the vehicle prior to seeing it but you don't have to accept it. In which case, you either wait for another truck or wait for a refund
  5. Rivian R1T Frustration

    They would not let me even look at the vehicle prior to paying for it, even though it was sitting on the lot. That sounded fishy to me so I walked away. It is really too bad because I was so excited for this truck after 3 years waiting.
  6. Not allowed to drive R1S before purchase

    It will take months to receive a refund if you decide to return it in the 7 day period.
  7. Service Center Says 4x Bent 22" Wheels at ~800 miles. Updated: incorrect diagnosis

    They are clearly having problems with the wheels. They can't provide spares for vehicles is an indication. I assume the manufacturer in China is putting out junk.
  8. Recent Rivian factory tour observations on production, shifts, configurations

    In your tour of the factory, were you able to identify any particular factor that is resulting in such poor quality control? I have been to several vehicle manufacturing plants and it would be good to be able to compare the processes.
  9. In what world are these types of paint issues acceptable on new R1S?

    These are not economy cars. At this price point the QC should be on par with other $100k vehicles. Slow down production and get it right.
  10. Paid for Truck today

    It's a flawed process and one of the things that need to change.
  11. Alignment, hitting bumps, and off center steering wheel

    It's easy and very accurate to check the toe settings yourself if you are willing to take the time and be meticulous. You have to build a "string box". We do this for track cars. It is more accurate than a Hunter rack.
  12. Buy new or used? Pros and cons?

    The best part of buying used is that you get to see it and drive it before you pay for it. Just like a normal vehicle.
