Cv shafts keep popping out

[jbronkoR1T]

Man. I had blocked out of my mind that one reason I was ok to wait for Max pack is some of these issues. And then was seduced by so many people loving their trucks (and looking deeper into EA app, which does seem to show a ton of good chargers). So, I pick up my 14xxx VIN on Friday morning. I hope I'm one of the ones posting how great everything is.
I will let y'all know how it goes.

Going to revive this thread. Picked up my R1T from the delivery center brand new at 0900 this morning (21k VIN), left around 0930 and as I was approaching my home at 1000 had something unusual happen.

Was slowing as I was approaching a stop sign and the motors were in standard regen, no physical brakes being used. Something popped pretty loud and felt it in the wheel/pedals. The vehicle popped up with the turtle and said performance limited. Pulled into a lot by my house and did some testing and when going in park then drive the turtle goes away but I can feel the front left motor is odd. Maybe not working at all as the wheel immediately turns to the left which seems like the right motor pulling.

No other errors come up. I did not even do a single launch brining it home as it was raining pretty bad. Very mild driving compared to how I drove my MYP.

I called service and they had me restart the vehicle and allow it to go to a deep sleep in which neither one resolved the issue. Service was able to get the vehicle in to look at it by 1300 and unfortunately didn’t have any loaners but did pay for an Uber to take me to enterprise and pay for a vehicle there. By 1700 was told it was a problem with the axel shaft and the tech was talking to the engineers trying to figure out why it happened and where to go from here.

Will hear from them Monday but definitely don’t feel comfortable that my brand new Rivian is going to be tore down one way or another to get fixed. Have a few days to consider the 7 day/1k mile return but really wanted to love the Rivian. Definitely not how I planned for my first day with the R1T to go

Here’s a video, truck only had 42 miles on it here… Has 80 sitting at the shop now.
