I'm hoping taking noise measurements is unnecessary. Rivian knows the issue and acknowledges the vehicle is ridiculously loud. I would be happy to start taking readings if they want to employ me as a part-time engineer. :)

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.

Have you reached out to Rivian regarding the issue? I'm curious to know if they have acknowledged it or if they have claimed that nothing is wrong. I've had a similar experience where I took my vehicle to them twice, and both times they told me there was nothing wrong. It wasn't until I began...

I started two other threads on this topic...which was poor etiquette. I acknowledge :) This issue is getting reported all over hot weather states. I'm assuming it will get worse as summer gets hotter.

"bit of an inconvenient noise" is debatable but we all would be happy with a quick resolution. I'll keep everyone posted if I hear anything

Please let us know the response you get from Rivian. I'm curious how they address to people who have not taken delivery.

Weather was cool during my 7-day window, unfortunately.

I typically keep the AC around 65 with medium fan speed and recirculation off. Outside temperature is the main variable that causes the noise issue. It feels like 90+ is when the problem appears.

My mistake...that was pointed out earlier. Apologies to all for incorrect forum etiquette but appreciate all the feedback from the group!

The problem is this is the car my wife drives, and this is what she deals with daily. Lots of truth to the "happy wife" comment

They refuse to make any repairs because the vehicle is operating as designed. She said they are looking into the issue but would not provide specifics. It felt like she was very careful with her words.

I'm done w/ new threads. I posted new today because I felt the call w/ Rivian last night was new news since they finally admit the issue exists. Sorry if that was not the correct protocol. Just frustrated. I'm a fairly new forum poster.

Adding to the frustration, we recently sold my wife's 2023 Range Rover Sport when the Rivian arrived. It's the other vehicle she likes, and we waited 8 months for delivery. The new Sport is selling for a premium and the dealership repurchased above my initial invoice. Only good part of my Rivian...

Rivian executive told me this is a known issue with the R1S without a current fix. They refuse to replace any parts which I've been requesting the entire time.

The weather in Dallas was cool for my first 7 days. Now I'm screwed!

Last night, just before 7:00, I received a call from the Rivian Southwest territory manager. During our conversation, she acknowledged the widespread issue with AC motor noise in the R1S that occurs in hot weather. I expressed my frustration, explaining that our vehicle has become so loud that...

I received a call last night from a Rivian executive who acknowledged this is a known widespread issue with the R1S without a current fix. She kept saying the vehicle is operating as designed so she could not do anything for me. Happens in hot weather. Get ready for a miserable summer. I'll...

Nail on the chalkboard is every time I call my wife and she rants about how much she hates her R1S. I could be the first Rivian divorce!

I completely understand the risks associated with being an early adopter, but it's worth noting that other vehicles in Dallas don't seem to be experiencing the same issue. For instance, my friend owns an R1S that functions perfectly, and even the loaner vehicle they provided me with during my...
