Did you offer to let them keep it for a week after fixing so they can enjoy it a bit? :D
silly me tried cold hard cash but maybe I'll try again with your idea. :)

Hey there Count,

Somewhere along the line you asked me about my R1T efficiency.

I'm averaging 1.99 over the last 4,800 miles. Most of this is around town and 50mph highway mileage.

Same! And we have the same set up.

well... deconstruction revealed more problems... Rivian will need at least two weeks for additional parts.

At least nothing fell off my R1S today :)

Anecdotally my renewal came and American Family jacked my rates 25%. Guess this expensive to repair thing is taking its toll....

After having several fastener screws sheer off, I'm trying to stay positive and am turning this into a game.

I'm guessing something to do with fastening the under body panels.

I love my truck, however I have found several bolts with star shaped heads on the garage floor. They are coming from the underbody rear panel. I put them back in and used a drill with great torque to tighten them. Several months later, they are loose and some are missing. I have an appointment in Houston next week about it. Otherwise, no other significant issues. Alignment is off, going to have that looked at as well. Still the coolest vehicle I have ever owned. Really fun to drive and took it camping and it did great.
