Most likely something wrong with your Rivian, because if the design or software were bad then this would be happening to everyone. A common problem is the caliper pins weren't lubricated, so the inner caliper doesn't properly retract fully leading to wear on the inner pads. Greasing the pins fixes this. If you have some corrosion and haven't greased the pins, then that could be the issue on your vehicle.

My pads were recently measured at 9mm inner and outer all around after 32k miles of driving.
Is there a guide to greasing the pins somewhere? Any recommended grease?
