As someone who has yet to take delivery, I'm hopeful, and confident at present, that Rivian will do things such as to mitigate risk:Wait until Rivian starts a 2nd shift with new assembly technicians that start around $17 per hour.
Vehicles built from August to November 2021???I believe this is relevant:

Driving on the highway and heard a loud bang. Had no idea what it was because the road was clear. But honestly thought nothing of it because this car makes a lot of random noises.
Next day I'm driving and I hear a lot of wind noise coming from under the truck. I pull over and take a look at the bottom of the vehicle and half of the underbody shield is ripped off. I called Rivian and they're going to call me back to tell me if it is safe to continue driving. I'm super bummed about this. I'm currently driving on the highway trying to find the cover on the side of the road. Few minor issues that I reported which haven't been resolved yet but, everything else has been great, nothing this severe.
I did see a post about somebody saying the screws were all loose and it completely slipped my mind. I didn't even check before I started driving to vehicle.
I'm assuming some wind may have gotten under the shield and just ripped it off.
Nope, I have the RUB and had loose screws on delivery.I know the OP didn't have the re-enforced underbody. Did everyone else having issues with missing or loose fasteners also have the standard underbody panels?
BOHICAThe new position to assume when taking delivery.

I'm getting the muffled audio issue, did you resolve it?Pulled over today on a road trip from Portland Or to Sun Valley, to reset the infotainment system in our R1S (was getting muffled audio - reset didnāt work) and my wife noticed a panel hanging from under the vehicle, it was a small shield plate, screw completely missing. So glad it didnāt come off and hit the car behind us or that we lost it. Totally unacceptable.
Yes, let the car go into sleep mode for 15 minutes or so, then come back to it, should be resolved.I'm getting the muffled audio issue, did you resolve it?
That worked!Yes, let the car go into sleep mode for 15 minutes or so, then come back to it, should be resolved.
