2024 Rivian R1T Dual Large
Hi everyone,

Wanted to see what everyone thought. I took delivery of my 2024 Dual Large R1T about 3-4 weeks ago. During delivery I noticed some panel gaps and the guide told me setup a service appointment to get it all fixed up so I did and have the appointment later this week.

Has anyone ever had service done in the Miami Service Center? Any idea how long they usually take? And do they loan you another Rivian (wishful thinking here…) if you have to leave it?

Another thing do you all think these are very bad gaps? I’m concerned they make it worse or cause another gap somewhere else, see pics below.

Last thing, anyone else experiencing a loud humming noise if you remote start climate control? It sounds like the compressor tries to start without enough power, just assuming here, and it hums loudly. I have to manually turn it off and back on for it to go back to normal.

Thanks in advance!

Seat gap is non issue it is just how the seats work gap changes when you change seat positions.
The rest of the gaps do not look bad to me. I have same gap on drivers side after gaps were adjusted (was way worse before adjustment).

Drivers side door panel gap is only one I would bother with. I would say most trucks have the other ones. I guess left back bumper one could be a little more snug.

Yours looks better than a few of mine I need to still have addressed. Drivers door probably the only one I would ask them to refine.

AC noise is a common problem. Lots of forum threads that already discuss this issue , worth a read. But I’m not hopeful of much improvement.
