My issue/s are not prohibitive to the vehicle being operable (extensive under carriage rattling when shutting doors (both sides), door whistling noise that's been attempted to be "fixed" 3 or 4 times). So I get they can triage based on severity - however - if I had just bought a brand new $100k...

Nope - I bought a car that I knew might have issues and would need to be repaired iteratively as their manufacturing process would need to be improved. This is awful and with this trajectory its very unsustainable. I thought the last time it took 3 months to re-address an existing issue, and...

Just submitted a ticket -- earliest available is June 5th in San Diego -- I've had my truck for 18 months, times went from days > weeks > a month > almost 4 months. This is entirely unsustainable. They're only more R1s to service with all their issues, in 6months if I have another issue is it...

Typically residuals are set by banks and independent of cap cost reductions (money down). It can vary based on location/mileage/model. Have not heard of a residual on a lease being affecting by money down because the residual is the banks estimation of the depreciation of the asset and its...

Someone from Rivian should be on these forums ASAP to disseminate some of this useful information.

Final fix was a new hood, but it took them two tries to get the new hood to look proper in terms of respraying it/fitting it. I had a loaner that only had 600 miles on it when I got it, and it's hood bounced a lot more than my new hood, so YMMV. There was a notice a while back in the thread that...

I can finally say this issue has been fixed to completion. Repairs started Oct 13th, picked it up in perfect condition Jan 23rd. Just glad its all been rectified. :clap:

Any pictures of how you installed the binder plastic strip? Curious to try this out.

I think its not that Rivians have these issues, its that they're terrible at getting them fixed in a timely fashion. Never had a Tesla so can't compare them to that, sure there are plenty of people that can speak to the comparison. But buying a $90-100k vehicle brand new and having to wait 3...

My R1T wind noise has been an issue from day one. Several tickets/adjustments and seal replacements has gotten subtly better. No racks. It's noticable enough that taking phone calls at highway speeds is difficult to hear at top volume. Probably my biggest complaint. I have 22's and my other EV...

Another update - still not fixed. Truck went in Oct 13th for a new hood, wasn't ready for pickup till end of November. When received the "new" paint job was horrendous, visible yellow overspray present, truck had hard water spots all over it that Rivian had to send out detailers twice to fix...

I can't even get Alexa to respond to Hey Alexa... stopped after the last update. Anyone know the secret sauce?

Sorry, was only speaking for California. You are correct, believe Florida is also different?

Leasing taxes are the same as buying taxes, just one is paid on the total sale price of the car at once.... the other in a lease is added to the monthly. Benefit of a lease is if the car gets totalled you're not out all that tax money from the purchase, but you are out the cap cost reduction...

Trucks been at the SC since Oct 13th.... new hood received but apparently their paint and body location of choice can't paint the darn hood well enough to pass quality.... 3rd time's a charm right?

Update to this --- after the "fix" of removing the adhesive it did solve the indentation at high speeds. But I noticed the alignment of the hood was now off and under highway speeds it now bounced more. I sent in a ticket a couple months ago but no appointments were available till October. A...

I work near State St, so if anyone wants to meet up at Pure Project right here let me know!

I have a pair of used OEM Pirelli 22" tires to trade for some craft ?. Swapped out the set of stock tires for Continental's bc the fronts wore out, but rear tires were at 5 or 6/64" so very usable. Felt bad just disposing of them so kept them to help the community if you want to prolong your...

Depends on a few different things, but San Diego area a full PPF wrap is around $6500. If you wrap in just vinyl it can be cheaper, probably $3500-4000 i'm guessing, but then you lose the protecting/healing qualifities of PPF. Then you might need to add some paint correction, ceramic coating...

I have all these same issues, and I've had my truck for over a year, every update I hope it gets better and it doesn't. I've had 2 different phones, Pixel 6a and 7a respectively, and neither works well. As another issue the key FOB is also very unresponsive for unlocking, usually takes several...
