Did Rivian supply you with a loaner during that whole 6 weeks the process took for the door/paint repair?

I wonder how much of it is people have seeping dampers but the issue does not present itself in driving or noise so they are none the wiser.

I just stumbled across your post in my doom scrolling as I await my R1S later this month. I watched your video and from what it looked like from the inside/under car view was that your CV axle has slack so when you rotate the wheel the CV axle boot ever so slightly lags behind the tire rotation...

Out of curiosity is this a 3rd party dashcam recording? If I understand correctly the built-in Rivian recordings don't have audio, correct? If that's the case I guess I'm hooking up a dashcam when my R1S comes in.

You guys with your Dune edition issues are making me nervous. Here I was reading anecdotes on reddit that the Dunes were generally in better shape being a "Limited Edition" but sounds like that's not the case and my R1S Dune arrives in 3 weeks. Given I keep hearing stuff like this, I feel like...

I think you convinced me to reject delivery if there are any paint issues or really any meaningful issues not potentially addressable by a mobile tech on my R1S when it arrives in 3 weeks. That is, unless all of these horror stories don't change my mind completely. Is there a pickup checklist...

Why Dual Motor specifically instead of say a Tri motor? For range?

My wife already said she isn't driving my R1S so I guess I don't have to worry but we'll see how long that lasts:D. Since the Defenders are slightly smaller vs the Pirellis does the new Rivian update where you now have the option to select your tires update both your range and the adjust the...

That was the first hurdle that delayed me and I spent an afternoon driving across town just to go see colors in person at the local Rivian Space. Turns out they only had a few colors there but they had paint swatches. At least the Dune site claims they come with "275 / 65 / R20 Pirelli Scorpion...

The wife says taking the All-Terrain Package off is not an option because of the added peace of mind with the Reinforced Underbody Protection and the road debris issues we've had in the past around here. As far as road noise, my R1S demo drive was on 20" Pirelli ATs and the noise didn't bother...

I think the only thing I'm set on getting at this point is the Max battery for our long trips across Texas a couple of times per year. The Rivian trip planner estimator on their site claims all R1S configurations can make with a single charging stop but stopping for 15min with Max vs 30-40min...

Essentially I was comparing the following: Dual Max Non-Performance, Limestone, Ocean Coast Interior, Sights & Sounds Package, and All-Terrain Package VS California Dune (Tri Motor of course) It came down to a $3.3k difference and so I jumped. Sounds like maybe AT package is overkill and...

Thanks for this, it's reassuring to hear especially about the rear clutch situation. Regardless, a Rivian is a huge upgrade over my current vehicle so any amount of passing acceleration will be better than what I'm used to on my daily drive. The wife has always had the "nice car" that I get to...

I've seen similar questions asked around but threads were old and delivery times, large+ batteries, unproven tri motor, etc were different factors so I'm asking for myself. I've been researching for over the past month and had decided on a custom order R1S Dual Max with options including...

What’s the handling difference with Performance? Is this just implicit from the unlocked lowered ride height or does Performance unlock also provide tighter steering in Sport mode?

FWIW, I saw the following on a demo unit this weekend where one of the metal trim pieces on the 2nd row seats was missing and revealed the not so stellar looking stitching underneath. I realize it’s not normally supposed to be seen but your post reminded of it since it’s peeking out from under...
