I have an R1T that I noticed a brake squeak when I am at drive throgh. It almost sounds like a suspenion squeak but have narrowed it down to brakes as it never happens right after a hard braking situation. I dont know if this has been covered somewhere else but I am about to rotate the tires next week and was going to inspect them for anything obvious, but if someone had a good anwser before hand, that would help.

Find a nice long downhill stretch of road. steeper the better. set regen to low. Get the Rivian up to speed and manually apply the brakes several times to " set the brakes". This is a break in procedure that needs to be done. These Brembo brakes are high quality and once you break them in, you will lose the noise and gain more manual; brake stopping power.

I thought about the half shafts, but it sounds like a more like brake pressing squeak. I know it is hard to describe the different brake squeak vs squeal vs ting... I am driving through a drive through now... I am at a loss for a definitive answer....

Did you ever get a verification on what this was? I am having the same issue at 4400 miles
