2025 R1S Tri, I've had the vehicle for like 3 months, I've sprayed the washer fluid twice, and already had to refill the washer fluid twice, due to the dash alert that my washer fluid is low.

Is this an issue with Rivian's, or is the 40c+ temps causing it to evaporate or something?

Thanks in advance for any and all input

Maybe not full from the factory?

No reason to schedule a service if you don't even know there is a leak. Refill and see if it leaks before wasting service hours.

Check to see if it's leaking from the front camera washer assembly. I had the same thing happen, and coincidentally had a puddle of fluid in my garage that was more than a little concerning. I discovered that the mechanism wasn't closing properly and the fluid was just leaking out slowly.

@COdogman has been known to syphon washer fluid from new owners, get that good good
I was going to suggest looking at any of your Rivian-owning friends - that OEM washer fluid smells great and owners will do anything to get their hands on it!

Had the same washer issue, and they replaced the tank / fittings. figure that it was installed on a friday or the monday after superbowl.... no issues since. definitely arrange for a service visit
filled mine twice in a month, and had only used sparingly. definitely a leak for service to sort out;
