I just received my truck back from the SC this week. Here is the official SC response to my concerns regarding high vampire battery drain; ”Technician performed test based on the time stamp you provided the vehicle is operating as designed. A vehicle loses around 3.2% SOC, about 9 mI (14 km)...

I picked up vehicle this week. I had numerous tickets in for body panel alignment and to investigate high vampire battery drain. As expected Rivian stated that my amount of vampire battery drain was normal. Here is what was typed up on my service invoice; ”Technician performed test based on...

I believe all eleven R1T body panels are installed by assembly line workers, not robots; -(4) doors -(2) fenders -(2) Gear Tunnel hatches -hood -tailgate -charging door

Order placed for the 17mm version. I plan on pairing it with this magnetic phone holder. I will report back if it works. https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B09PQH4NJB?ref=ppx_pt2_mob_b_prod_image

260+ range for the standard battery pack is fine for most buyers. I am curious if Rivian plans a Quad using the new Enduro electric motors. I’m sure they have a purchase agreement with Bosch.

It’s just another marketing effort to help hire talent. It looks like $20 an hour for non-union assembly line workers or $41,600 per year.

Friday or Monday build date?

I originally dropped off my truck on Friday morning and picked it up on a Wednesday. There were 8 body alignment service tickets that needed to be resolved. The advisor hands me the FOB on Wednesday afternoon and wishes me a great day. I inspect the workmanship and the drivers door is now worse...

Over speed bumps? Clunky What can you expect from a trophy truck inspired adjustable air suspension.

The FG one gets an OK by me. The RB one needs a service ticket.

I feel that the small number of SC's are overwhelmed. My local SC has their technicians working 2 shifts because of the heavy workload. When picking up my truck from the SC I decided to look over over some of the vehicles that were ready for delivery. I noticed a LOT of glaring panel alignment...

Take delivery and flip vehicle for a profit on BAT auctions.

I fully agree. Rivian should redesign the R1T tailgate emblem to incorporate Dual or Quad lettering on the bottom. No more emblems are needed.

I fully agree. The average car buyer would not have noticed these slight body panel misalignment issues. Yes, all of the food cans in our kitchen cabinet must be facing label side out, the spice drawer is in alphabetical order, my rolling tool chest in the garage has all of the drawers labeled...

2021, February build date. The body panel alignment and gaps are 99% perfect.

???

Yes, I am very pleased with the tech’s workmanship. The end result is that every body panel is now aligned near perfection. Funny, it wasn’t assembled on a Monday or Friday. Door sticker shows it was assembled on a Saturday. No rattles, squeaks or wind noise either.

Exactly what type of issues have you experienced?

Yes, I am a bit anal retentive. The first thing I notice on a new vehicle is body panel alignment. Are the panel gaps tight and even? Are body panels flush with each other? Are body panels aligned, etc. I consider Porsche and Audi the top two companies to have near perfect body panel fitment...

Hello all. Out of curiosity I decided to swing by my local CarFax store today for an appraisal. I caught them at a slow time of day and was in and out in 30 minutes. The offer was actually higher than I expected. For reference my 2022 R1T has 570 miles on the odometer, 20” dark wheels and no...
