Hello everyone, Mystery solved. It turns out rodents got into the bottom of my truck and bit through the air hose that feeds the front suspension. The repair estimate is currently at $5000! Apparently it requires about 15 hours of labor at the rate of $250/hour, plus parts. This is not covered...

I'll keep you posted. At this point the truck is in the SC and I I have not yet heard the diagnosis.

Hi Everyone, Thx for all the input. The compressor problem should definitely be covered under my still active comprehensive warranty. The tech tried to tell me the misaligned wheel well liner is not covered, because my adjsutment warranty is no longer active. However, I believe the misalignment...

I love my Gen 1 R1T - 573rd off the production line, BUT I'm starting to have buyers remorse as our truck is currently in El Segundo SC for the 3rd time this past year and my comprehensive warranty coverage is only valid for the remainder of this year, 2026. This time the air suspension in the...

Hey Rivian Fam, How to you get notified of the TSB's when they are issued?

Good to hear - that they lasted that long. We're only at 17k, so hopefully some life left in. I don't believe Rivian is still doing the swap. At least El Segundo isn't for out of warranty (3 yrs, 36k) 12v batteries.

43! Wow! That's closest to the original I've heard of. Your R1T will have a dual battery system under the frunk trim - all the earlier models did. Unfortunately, Rivian's OEM lead/acid 12v batteries are notorious for having a short lifespan. The good news is Ohmmu is offering a lithium ion...

Check it out. Note the range when you park and then again the next day. According to Grok, 2-3 mile loss over 24 hrs is average for the Gen 1's. That's with gear guard and proximity lock turned off at home. It took me a while before I noticed. If you drive it every day, it's not as apparent as...

Equally gorgeous. The white's a little more elegant, like it wouldn't be out of place pullling up to the valet at a black tie event. What do you do regarding vampire drain? If left alone in the driveway, Green Machine loses 2-3 miles over a 24 hr stretch. I think part of that is because the...

Atomic wheels look amazing - especially with the white exterior. Very classy!

What are the last numbers on your VIN after all the zeros? That'll tell you what number your truck was off the assembly line. My Green Machine VIN ends in 573. I think they were still hand tightening bolts at that early phase! There's a couple different things you can learn from that, like the...

Amazing! Almost new.

That's a beauty. How many miles?

Hi Lonye, Thanks for posting this. We had noticed such a HUGE difference in the service offered between August and December of 2025, but did not know if it was our specific service center, or a company-wide issue. After reading your post, now we know their declining service standard is...

Is that what Daisy was driving when Myrtle ran in front of the car?

Hey Brian, ... almost forgot to ask... what happened to Rosie? My Gen1 Launch has gotten me out of a lot of close ones. She seems to be pretty alert of our surroundings, eventhough she doesn't have the full autonomy.

Beautiful truck. Awesome story and congrats on finding a low mileage Gen1 with PTC. I'm with you - I love my '22 Launch and don't care about missing out on driverless. The only thing I'd say is get a good. checkup before some of your warranty coverage expires. Rocker arms on front suspension and...

Yeah, well,... that might help if you buy a Tesla or a Leaf. Maybe an R2 or base model 3 fits under the threshold. We'll see,...

OK, yeah, I think replacing the front dampers and bushings is the most common Gen 1 revision tweak that pops up. I also read threads where some owners were kvetching about the whirring engine sound coming from the electric Bosch quad motors. Personally, I Iike that sound. Sounds like POWER. I...
