I made my first ever service request some weeks ago—to correct alignment of all doors. Appointment is set for mid next month (Lake Forest, CA). On a whim, I decided to check the mobile app on status of the service request and noticed they had split the request into three, but all on the same...

Not specific to Rivians, but many of the things discussed in the video is relevant. And as owners, we know our 7k+ pound R1s can deliver on joy of driving. Enjoy another excellent video from Camissa and Pobst.
