We had this too…lights would come off and on while driving and we finally realized it was our dog hitting the screenI had the same issue with the rear interior lights on the way home (almost 800 miles, much of it at night).
We diagnosed the issue as inadvertent touching of the rear screen. We were using the 120v outlet behind the console, as well as the USB-C outlets there, and also had snacks on the floor on front of the middle row. Eventually we realized the we were touching the rear screen while reaching for things from the front seat.
The symptom has not recurred since we became aware of it.
Good stuff! What was VIN range? asking because I had a 3000s 2022 and while I had some gap issues I don't think they were this large, though admittedly the major one was the tailgate like yours (again I think smaller).I finally took delivery of our R1S and its worth the wait. My turn to contribute to this community that has kept me educated, engaged and entertained for these past 28+ months.
Cliff notes:
- Ordered Nov. '20, picked up Mar 30, '23 at Richmond VA. EL Cap/OC/22" Launch edition Vin 67XX. Build date in 03/23.
- No 12V in frunk, No 12V under the main screen, Rivian audio (no Meridian badging)
- reverse light fix applied (this one is weird )
Positives:
1. For those of you that were worried about the negative reviews about stiff ride, porpoising, etc., STOP WORRYING. Its good. We drove primarily in All purpose, soft and standard ht and it felt great. Mostly highway but we did have to go through construction zones and it was very comfortable. I would say, compared to the X5, you feel the road more but in a good way. That said, when you do switch it to Sport and Stiff, the characteristics do become very different and a tad harsh (but boy, what fun it is). But then again, if you have family in the car, I would leave it at all purpose, standard and enjoy
2. Sound system is fantastic. I cannot compare to the Meridian branded one but I have no complaints. Crystal clear and we tried different music genres through Spotify and it all sounded great.
3.OC is beautiful. Its a white with a gray tone that looks very classy from my point of view. It gives the cabin a very airy feel. So those of you on the fence about OC - go for it!
Not so great:
- Some panel alignment issues that will need a service visit (or mobile tech)
- PAAK is not working for me but it could be user error. Need more time to sort this one out
- Weird issue with interior lights. As we were driving, the interior lights (minus the front ones) would turn on. This seems to be correlated to passenger seat movement or seat belt pull... Not really sure what. I will have to see if I can find a pattern to this. But this is annoying because the only way to turn the lights off is through fiddling with the main center screen
- motor whine and wind noise are a bit loud compared to the X5 (in electric mode)
All in all - satisfied with the purchase. Now I just need to find some adventures to go on and see what I can do to make my lifestyle match the vehicle I just got
great tipSame here with the cabin lights randomly turning on/off. Now I lock the rear screen. Tip: You can ask Alexa to turn on/off cabin lights.

Still partial to our Rivian Blue LE, but you've got one gorgeous combo here! Had Belle for just over two months, no serious complaints ans I haven't stopped grinning. Definitely the most all around fun to drive 4 wheel vehicle I have piloted on or off road.I finally took delivery of our R1S and its worth the wait.

The RVA SC folks are a friendly bunch, if you live/work in WMA, just drive down sometime and take a gander. While picking up the T from service, they let me see, touch (and could have driven as I have a reservation in for one as well), and play around a bit in an S that they use for "demos". You can call them via the toll free number before hand. Good bunch of folk.Congrats, neighbor! What a beautiful color combination. I have been wondering what El Cap and OC would look like and you've reaffirmed how great a combination is.
I have yet to see an R1S in the WMA (I've seen several R1Ts) so hopefully will catch a glimpse of your new beautiful ride sometime soon (not s00n!)
