I'm not sure if this is a settled issue, but I'm going to share my thoughts.
In short, Tesla Supercharger cables overheat quickly on hot days with a large load.
I've taken a few road trips this summer, and every time I have used a Tesla charger, I've been restricted to between 160 kW and 130 kW...
I received an email from the admin stating that they had fixed the issue, and I was able to upload the pictures. (see above)
The road trip went well, and I sealed gaps with aluminum tape. At one point, we drove through a rainstorm that was almost a complete whiteout, but no water got into the bed.
I'm a little bummed that Rivian (nicely) told me to pound sand when I asked for an automatic tonneau cover for my 2023 R1T, but our family is going on a road trip, so I needed a cover for the luggage in the truck bed.
I didn't want to pay $1000+ for a manual tonneau cover so....
It's three...
I was shocked that the first response nailed it. I tried to figure out what caused it, but I couldn't come up with anything. When DEET was mentioned, it was like a movie flashback to the week before, when I covered myself with DEET because I was out on an overcast day with no wind and near a...
Wow. I would have never thought about that. I have been trying to figure out what would cause this. I sprayed DEET on me about an hour before I returned to my vehicle.
I got my R1T back this past Friday, and they did a lot of work. Since they seemed stumped, they just replaced the drive units.
Below, you can see they replaced the clutch units first, and when that didn't fix it they installed full new drive units.
The clicking is gone, but I'm not putting it...
I wonder if this might have fixed my issue. I just got my vehicle back and they did a LOT of work. I'm not sure it was needed. I'll follow up with a another message showing all the work that was done.
Thank you for sharing. My primary concern is that the issue occurs when Conserve mode is engaged but disappears when put back into All-Purpose mode and the suspension is raised. If Rivian says something to the effect of "It's all good, but we offer extended coverage on the rear powertrain...
To clarify this issue is related to speed/RPM and is not the air suspension adjusting.
Below is the message I sent to Rivian service this morning. I'll follow up when I have more information.

Thank you for providing me with a loaner R1T. I wanted to inform you that the loaner R1T has the...
I should note. The clicking is not loud and easily ignored. I likely only noticed it because I have a sensitivity to sounds and having owned a Subaru STi I was constantly paranoid about any miscellaneous sound being indication of the engine, transmission, or differential about to nuke itself...
Buckle up. This is going to be a long one.
My R1T Quad 2023 has been in for service for five weeks.
I started hearing clicking from the rear axles after I put the vehicle in conserve mode and lowered it to one of the two lowest heights. At that point, I can hear a clicking sound related to...
