    R1S misaligned lift gate(s) - gaps and assembly issues

    Hi, I have an early VIN 2022 R1S 008XX and had the same rear liftgate misalignment issue that was a little worse than yours now. The Chicago service center initially didn't want to touch the liftgate because there's high possibility that after the adjustment, it will leak water. Somehow they...

    Are these panel gaps acceptable?

    Hi, I took delivery of my R1S on 01/21/2023 and I had very similar panel gaps and misalignment issues like yours, especially the rear liftgate. I am not sure if the service center will adjust the rear liftgate before delivery (my guess is not) since they are overwhelmed with many appointments...

    Shifting to Model 3...

    I think you made a great choice. I have an early built 2018 Model 3 for almost 5 years (no major issues) and a recently delivered R1S (also very early built in 09/22 VIN 8XX). Don't get me wrong, I love my new R1S, but it costs more than double (2.5 times?) electricity for the same distance...

    Mini-review at 1500 miles (R1S)

    I also have an early VIN model 3 almost 5 years old, which has relatively pretty good panel alignment but only some loose interior trim issues. Was planning on trading in for the R1S, but the trade in value pretty much dropped more than 10K in the past 3 months. So far my model 3 has been pretty...

    Ready for delivery, but won't let me see/drive before purchase.

    Exactly! Let me provide my experience here. Waited for almost 3 years and was super excited to get my R1S, which finally happened 3 weeks ago. On delivery date in my driveway, I noticed few panel gaps and misalignment issues. The delivery guy said no worries, I will help you open multiple...

    Mini-review at 1500 miles (R1S)

    These are my liftgates and taillights. I sent my R1S to Chicago service center since this Monday and I have not heard anything from them yet. The service guy told me they will probably not touch my liftgate since it passed high pressure waterproof test at the factory and they were told by...

    Mini-review at 1500 miles (R1S)

    Cause I have been waiting for almost 3 years and I kinda hope they will do some adjustments to make it better. The interior and the front hood look pretty good

    Mini-review at 1500 miles (R1S)

    I got mine delivered a week ago with very low 2022 VIN# 80x. Probably got rejected the first time and went back to Normal for 3+ month (built 09/22). I have exactly the same issue with the lift-gate sticking out just like yours (right side is worse) along with the bottom (need to push in hard...

    R1S : Oct-Dec Delivery (Now Jan-Feb or Feb-Mar 2023)

    A little update to my case (VIN#80x, 2022). I actually just got mine delivered yesterday. They informed me on Monday the car was ready but home delivery only due to Chicago SC permitting and yesterday was the earliest time. I have mixed feelings about the vehicle because the rear hatch has a...

    Rivan wants you to cancel your pre March '22 order [?]

    I am with you. In fact, after I saw the huge price drop from Tesla and Lucid $7500 lease discount yesterday, I feel that there's a tremendous price pressure on Rivian's new pricing. There might be more EV price drops from other manufacturers very soon (to compete with Tesla). I wonder how many...

    R1S : Oct-Dec Delivery (Now Jan-Feb or Feb-Mar 2023)

    Just wanna to share my case. Got my "confirm your configuration" on 09/23/2022, guide assigned 3 days later but waited for 10 weeks and finally got VIN assigned and 8 steps on 12/06/2022. Finished 5 of 8 steps but waiting for the last step "Schedule delivery" to open since I need the delivery...

    R1S Delivery Update Email (June 30, 2022)

    Just received my update delivery email to be 1H2023 as well. Aug 2020 LE R1S preorder. Wonder if having the OC until last month makes a difference...probably not...well then, I am switching back to OC now since I might have a chance to get 800V by 2024? smh.......

    OutofSpec Kyle Gets His R1T - Rivian Factory Delivery Video

    His dad successfully got the new Ioniq 5 limited edition for MSRP without a reservation after posting a YouTube video complaining one dealer was trying to charge him markup. He basically just checked inventory online and called different dealers to see if he can jump the line to get one early...

    Take delivery or wait?

    I guess it really depends on your situation. My model 3 has been almost issue free for the past 3 years and we have a 2019 GLC300 in great condition with only 12K miles. So we are good for at least another year. But if you are in need of a new vehicle/truck less than a year, then probably you...

    Take delivery or wait?

    I have 2 pre-order reservations of R1s. One is Aug 2020 LE R1S and the other is Jan 2022 R1T. Based on my early 2018 Model 3 RWD delivery experience (I got it early April 2018 with VIN# 11XXX), the remorse came in quickly just 2 months later when Tesla started delivering AWD versions. There were...

    Cancelled Order Restored

    Not sure if this has been the case for a long while, but I just found out today that the price for 20" AT/22" sport wheel option (None LE, pre-March 1st) dropped down to $1800 from $2500. I had selected the 20" AT black wheels for $3500, but now switched over to 20" AT after seeing the price drop.
