Only had it a month, second day of ownership great trip in major storm to Seattle, was amazing, but got massive rock chip on drive home and combo cold cracked windshield, took 1 week to get service to replace it, looked very hard to find any issues with panels, etc but can’t find anything no matter how hard I look, amazing vehicle. Love driving it every day, just wish all the other city drivers would get out of my way so I can go faster!

May 2022 delivery LE R1T was amazing no service tickets needed. Since then, 42,000 miles including towing, launching boats, off-roading, tailgating, road tripping, camping etc... and the R1T is even better thanks to OTA updates. Only services it has needed were the early suspension bolt torque recall, the service campaign adding spacers to the drive axle to prevent tocking (Which I never experienced) and replacement of window trim that came loose and driver side mirror that got water in the light housing. The latter three items were done in a single service visit all were cost and hassle free.
Only real issue now is wife wants an R1S and I have to plan my finances around only buying Rivians from here on out.

Yeah, like most, I have my problems, luckily my Rivian isn't one of them!

I am the happy owner of a 2022 R1T with just over 20,000 miles on it. Yes, I have read about everybody's issues, but I have been trouble free with my Rivian VIN xxx004911!

Seems like most threads are about some issue. Let's also hear from those who've had no or little issues so far. I am one of them.

There is something to be said about controlling 835 hp with my right foot!

Love my Rivian!

S/N 99xx checking in. Love ? my Rivian as well!

Purchase R1T in Aug, now 7500 miles. Had service come to me to fix wiper set too high. (I guess he didn’t calibrate). But it came back, have appt on 22 Dec to fix small things. But great truck so far. I wish I could tow my RV further on a charge, other wise I am very happy with my truck!

I don't have mechanical or electrical problems (so far) but my R1S has some annoying interior rattling and suspension squeaking. Scheduled service appointment and see if that could be fixed.

A few minor things which they’re fixing now. My biggest complaint is I ended up with a minivan for a temporary vehicle. I needed lots of space and this was the best option on the lot. Almost comical. But in the grand picture of things trivial. Love the vehicle, love to drive it. Proud to show it to my friends. I look forward to getting an R2s someday.

R1S purchased from shop June ‘23. Flawless, zero problems. Best, most capable vehicle made today. I don’t think that’s going to change anytime soon. And congrats to Rivian for having the foresight to target the commercial market. AT&T deal is tip of the iceberg. ✌

R1T picked up at the Bellevue SC Nov 8, 2023, and about 1,500 miles so far... only 2 software 'cliches..' one went away on its own, the other disappeared with a full vehicle reboot...

This thing is amazing!

I don't want to jinx myself and I'm only 3 weeks into my R1S but so far I absolutely love it. My first EV. Just getting over range anxiety.

32k on our T without any major problems that we didn't cause ourselves. I compare the same time period with our Escalade; new motor, new shocks, new brakes, new O2 sensors, the list goes on. Rivian wins hands down!
