Yeah we were SE of Branson with no destination charging. So my options were either drive longer to go through Bentonville and do a deep charge and then not drive a lot locally, or drive 45-75 minutes to Branson or Springfield to top up at some point. Not worth the stress for a vacation. If I was...

I've had my leased R1T for a year and had to rent a car for a road trip that was not easily doable with the R1T, DFW area to rural area outside of Branson, MO. Spending money to rent a car, the time to go out and rent it, driving something less comfortable than the R1T, left a really bad taste...

Any follow-up here? Looking to sell my leased Rivian too.

Rivian had my new truck in for alignment and QC issues. For them to align the vehicle 4 times (and I was there to pick it up the same day it was declared ready, they screwed it up every time and it still is not aligned), replace 4 tires, 1 wheel (all declared defective by Rivian), and align the...

I'll do some more experimenting with modes and get back to you but I am relatively confident it is tied to regen, or at least regen level. The pull to the right intensifies when regen braking, and the SC itself said that higher regen will create more pull. Re-posting what the SC explained it as...

Will try out some different variables but the talk track from the SC was that higher regen = more pull because of the lack of a LSD on the front motor. North DFW, Plano/Frisco/Propser area

I picked up the vehicle and the issues are still present. The SC was firm that they consider the vehicle in spec and that they will not do any further work, despite the fact that they replaced a wheel, tires, road force balanced it at least twice, aligned it 5 times, etc during the 3+ weeks it...

This is where I'm not sure where the mechanical design ends and the safety fault begins. The adaptive suspension + regen you can't turn off seems like a bad combo.

The regional manager is chalking that up to inexperienced techs that required coaching. I pushed them on that and they said the alignment sweep is being done incorrectly so the initial toe shows off. I have all the alignment records to document the issue persisting. But this is an exhausting...

Yes, I've only driven it in low and it still pulls.

Update: I asked for feedback as to why the vehicle pull to the right is considered in spec, this is what I received. To me, this does not seem like an acceptable answer as a vehicle should not pull while braking: "The secondary concern on drifting, particularly while slowing utilizing...

Update: The regional manager drove it on Monday and said my R1T was one of the smoothest she's driven. This is what each employee has told me, even prior to the vehicle to the service team finding out it needed a wheel and all 4 tires replaced due to them being defective and not able to be...

Thanks for the input. Have a call with the regional lead scheduled so hopefully that info moves the needle...

Thanks for the info, but shouldn't the techs know this?...

Rivian has told me this is normal as, to paraphrase, “if you put a truck back on the rack right after you put it on you’ll get different numbers.” The amount of times I’ve been told the vehicle driving as it has is “in spec” is very frustrating and not confidence inspiring. I’ve been pushing...
