California R1T turned out to be a lemon - getting rid of the gear I bought

[r1tmd]

Sooo unfortunately I'm lemoning the truck due to it being in the shop for 3 months of the 15 I've had it.

I've got 2 sets of cross bars with keys, Husky all weather floor liners, Abstract Ocean sunroof shade , Heatshield Windshield shade and sunroof shade, floor center console organizer, and a iKamper 2.0 SkyCamp mini w/ Rocky Black Shell and shoe organizer (thinking about keeping it but open to offers)

I'm based in NorCal north of SF for anyone that wants to save on shipping.

Cross bars - $550 + shipping
Husky $80 + shipping
Abstract Ocean $40 + shipping
Heatshield $75 for both + shipping
Floor organizer $15 + shipping
iKamper $3,250 (can't ship)

Sorry to hear, may I ask what issue they could not fix?

Yeah real sorry, I've got 16000 miles with no issues. I wish you the best. Don't give up on Rivian.

Every auto manufacturer on the planet makes a “lemon” now and then. No manufacturer is exempt!!!

Everyone does for sure.

But, some seem to have more than others (as a % of their vehicles on the road).

it would be interesting to see this play out for all vehicles experiencing undrivable wait times past xx days. Whether the vehicle was financed or not.

A financial incentive to improve service backlogs.

Sorry to hear that. Are you looking at getting another Rivian or just walking away all together?. I wouldn't blame you if you did.

My brother-in-law got his R1T last September and hasn't had 1 issue, we got ours and have ad a couple of issues.

I think over time, Rivian will get all the bugs figured out.

We were a week away from it being declared a "lemon" and they would have had to replace it or give us our money back.

As for the service, they went above and beyond. THey gave us a loaner R1T LE while they were working on ours. They had to fly out the engineer from Normal Illinois that was the specialist on our issue (Headlight system), and it took him a week to discover the issue. It has been 2 months and the R1T is running like a champ.

Glad it got sorted. What did it turn out to be? Assuming something in the wiring harness.
