"Sounds to me an alignment problem. Mine just wandered all over the road at highway speed, sort of reminds me of the early American SUVs that never track straight and tends to require lots of steering correction on the freeway to keep it straight. When the Driver+ is activated, the problem goes away. It just gets tiresome driving long distances where Driver+ is not available. It is time like this that I truly missed my Tesla's Autopilot; with literally no restrictions on where I can use it. So I finally took it into the CS and all they did was an alignment and plus my air suspension recalibration,noh, plus they realigned my steering afterwards. I will be going on a 400 mile plus interstate drive later today. I'll report back then."
Update:
-since repair, and driven it over 500 miles, I can say that it tracks better and drift less on the freeways. On a different note, I also noticed the AC works much better after the latest software updates 2023.38.0 ?
On a down note, when it prepares rhe battery for fast charging, the noise level is noticeably louder now. Also notice the same noise now after fast charging. Sometimes last over a minute or so...

3700 miles and a firm pull to the right at highway speeds. Just noticed it. Emailed Rivian 2x and used the chat. NO RESPONSE
Another issue.
At 1100 miles the car bricked. No access. No movement. 2 Days for the tow to arrive. 8 days for it to be returned.
Not happy.

There was another thread like this a few months back. Severe alignment issues should be resolved, but it seems the Rivian has a little better "steering feel/feedback" than some other vehicles in it's class and that can manifest itself as drifting to the right on roads that are crowned (i.e. all of them.)

If you're ever on a road that's going straight but tilted to the left, does it steer left? (Roads don't tend to tilt left, but divided freeways and highways will sometimes in the left lane.)

Our R1S and R1T still pulling to right with tires re balances, alignments from Rivian Service Center.
Rivian service technician test drive both car and confirm the " pulling to the right issue" but offer no solution..... manufacture issue/defect ??????

DM or QM?

what is DM or QM?

thanks

Dual motor or quad motor

DM or QM?

See, that's my thinking...one of the motors is not perfectly in sync. Another possible win for DM. The differential in the DM wouldn't have this as a possible issue.

Bingo.

I wonder if they’ll get to a point where the vehicle notices it’s tracking slightly off and adjusts the motor speed or slight suspension leveling or whatever to dynamically adapt on the fly.

Seems a bit Rube Goldberg, but then the whole QM setup is kind of that way.

I have long been a fan of Rube Goldberg machines, and their fascinating complexity. I have just decided that out in the boonies is not the best place for machines that are more complex than they need to be.
