Got in my 2022 R1T and pulled out of garage with 100% battery to go on an hour each way trip. Driving felt jerky, like it was losing power but regaining it. I drove out of the neighborhood thinking it'll probably clear up. Right before I got on a major highway, I stepped on it and it lurched around and would not go over 45 mph. No turtle icon or any dashboard warning icons at all.

I checked the 4x4 page and it showed the right front wheel with power (yellow shading) and the other 3 wheels going blank or briefly showing yellow and then back to blank again. I pulled over on the side of the road and did a hard reset with left steering wheel + hazard buttons. After reboot, everything was fine and I continued on my trip hesitantly. Took a while to get the maps to redownload into satellite view but other than that, all was fixed with the hard reset.

My name is Mike, and I have a (car) problem
I would absolutely note the time you did the reset and put in a ticket to service so they can investigate. Great that it cleared up, not great that you had no other indicators.

FYI I never had that on my quad and nothing like on my dual.

Never had that happen myself, but glad the reset cleared it up for you.

I had almost same issue couple weeks ago. It was lightly raining, I got on freeway and I felt the car does not react to speed pedal . It was inconsistent. Sometimes I would push the pedal. It would react with increase the speed by few miles then it would feel not responsive. It felt like the traction control was kicking in so I went to the 4x4 screen and I noticed the same issue. Some wheels were getting more power than others. It was not very slippery and I was not even driving that fast and the road was pretty clear. Then I noticed that the traction control was lighting when I press the pedal.
I got off the freeway. Pulled over to a safe spot , did full reset , got fixed, drove home. Did not happen again.
My guess traction control sensors.

So today, I took my Rivian out in the morning with no problem. I decided to leave it outside since we finally have some rain and this is the closest I can get to washing it due to the freezing weather we have had for weeks.
A few hours later, I go to move it inside, and I got that yellow battery icon. After letting it charge a little bit, I found your post. I decided to give my Rivian a small trip to see if the icon would stay and it did.
I did NOT notice any change in performance, and the 4x4 page looked normal.
I called Rivian about it, and they first had me do a soft reset (didn't work), then we did a hard reset (appears to have worked). The icon hasn't come back but I only drove about a mile.
I hope I never have to see it again.
