2024 R1S more Oomph to close final door

[ccharie]

@Jyeh74, I can confirm that all four of our R1S' doors require a harder push to close when all other doors are closed.

As others have said, that could change as the seals become more worn. Ours is still fairly new (#025***, built November 2023, delivered February 2024, currently 3993 miles).

We also have no troublesome wind noise at speeds up to 72 mph (we haven't yet driven it faster). Lucky us!

When Rivian can consistently deliver its best products, I believe they will more than justify the current prices. Consistent execution is key, though, and probably much harder than most of us know. People who pay $75-105K for a vehicle are a pretty tough crowd....

Best wishes!

My 24 R1S delivered 3/26 (VIN 38,8xx)had the wind noise from the passenger door but as soon as it rained water dripped in. They accepted the car to the SC pretty quickly and I expect they will fix it. In the interim I’ve purchased a new horn and found a car stereo store to install not far from home. I’m contemplating changing the rear sub speaker to JL Audio 10” and a small amp.

These vehicles have tight seals, I think some vehicles will auto crack the window to accommodate for this.

Teslas automatically lower and raise the window when opening and closing the door due to the frameless design, to prevent wearing out the seal, and perhaps to avoid this air pressure issue.

The only problem with this is in the winter when your window might be frozen in place. You can still open and close the door, it just wears the seal out faster because the window can’t go up and down. Better to defrost the vehicle before getting in.

Easiest way to solve this is to be the last one to close a door! That's what i have to do when the wife is with me so i don't get the stare down of disgust when she has to open the door again and slam it shut!
