Following up on this.

In 15 hours, my suspensions sagged this much.

Front Right: 2.0 cm
Front Left: 2.75 cm
Rear Right: 0.0 cm
Rear Left: 0.7 cm

Will Rivian say this is normal or within the spec?

Sounds like my wife over the years...

Just like my wife, and likely according to Rivian, this will be "in spec."

I can't comment if they'll call it in-spec, but when I was experiencing 'bag sag' I made an appt with the local SC. The night before my appointment I got a software update and excitedly pushed it. Unfortunately this apparently resets all historical data for suspension sag... They looked at it and weren't able to do anything because they had no data for it.

They set me an appointment for a week later and when I brought it back they were able to see the historical sag and they replaced a couple of the suspension bags for me.

So, don't reset or upgrade right before your appt!

I'm not even feeling patriotic enough to make a freedom units joke.

I think this is likely worse than mine. Rivian will have stored codes in the truck's diagnostics with yours being this bad. Just not sure how to pull the codes without their software.

The wake up noises are not always numatic adjustments. I thought it was a sagging issue but when they said it took 2 weeks in shop to diagnose or fix, I said skip it. I then used tape at home over night, I got a few MM on 2 wheels, so little I say, within spec.
