Anyone else deal with a rear wheel pushed back into wheel well with bag rubbing? I can't specifically see any suspension arms etc that are broken or bent but she's not really drivable. Bummed as 1 month wait on service with holiday crowd coming in hot in a few weeks.

If nothing is bent, you either have a loose bolt or one that fell out entirely.

Wow literally seems like a broken axle or suspension component. Did you jump the vehicle? Call Rivian for a tow and have them get you into a Rivian loaner.

Funny, I can't see any obvious tie rod or etc parts messed up and the bag works as I've cycled it higher and lower. No crazy driving at all really. I'm hoping they'll hook me up with a loaner while I wait a month!

Seems likely. I'll probably spend some time checking between the good side and bad for a missing or loose connection.

If you're an early VIN, you might have had a rear subframe failure. Rivian should be able to get you in right away IMO, talk to service and tell them your vehicle is dangerously undrivable.

Picture is hard to really see with the dirt and shadows but looks to me like the vehicle was hit.

Looks like smudges on the tire from 3:30-8, the wheel trim seems to have cracks and is that a dent in the door. Any chance someone tagged you in a parking lot?

Great eye!! That's actually from a previous run in with a mail box while backing in a boat trailer.
