Definitely some sort of catastrophic upper ball joint failure. The CV axle joint was destroyed in the process. This looks like a part supplier fault as the way these are assembled is for vehicle weight to seat the ball joint, not to separate. It seems the recent industry-wide auto parts quality...

Yeah I have a R1S deposit Oct. 2021. My last delivery estimate was for “late 2023” So I’m in no rush. But I really have no problem waiting a little longer if Rivian is pushing out full price new orders to shore up the profit margins. Better for the company to stay in business rather than going...
