Surprised Rivian didn't catch this immediately when they received the components in a QA/QC check.

It’s a small marking on the drive stalk, not an actual issue with the performance/functionality or safety related concern. Not a big deal…

mobile capable repair and barely 30 VINs affected.

Goddammit. I actually had made a post on another forum about how the lack of markings is great, and it's the same with Tesla.

This is pretty funny, and also a poll of sorts. I just realized something yesterday, and am shocked it took me this long to notice. Do most cars have markings on the steering wheel controls? I suddenly realized that the Rivian doesn’t, and the Tesla didn’t. Yet somehow they are completely intuitive in what they do, and you don’t need markings. In years of driving I never thought about it. Meanwhile that stupid loaner was so non-intuitive I had to look at the markings every time. Rivian and Tesla controls are just obvious by touch. The Smart has markings, and it's mostly intuitive except that my mind always gets the cancel and set backwards, every fucking time.

If you're that one guy who sees hundreds of units come through your "desk" per day... you'd probably miss a few too. Human nature.

True...I guess it is what it is....some stalks won't get markings...some subframes might miss welds....some upper control arm nuts might not get torqued correctly...etc...Nature of the beast I guess. I'd like to believe it can be better, but maybe that is unreasonable for a company this young.

Funny thing, my delivery day got held up for several hours to check on this issue. Obviously the check took two seconds (the markings were there), but marking the vehicle off as having completed the check wasn’t doable due to an IT service center issue. They couldn’t officially hand over the vehicle until this issue was marked complete. Everything worked out in the end of course, but just a weird technical problem in a modern computerized world.

Curious how your drive stalk looks without the markings, OP. Pics please?
