Yeah for sure, even in ICE cars when it's humid enough this is pretty common in my Audi.Has anybody ever experienced this in other cars to this degree? I haven’t, including in other electric cars.

I was reading your post and thinking "hydraulic fluid" so yeah - that is not a good thing. Definitely need to investigate what color.You need to put some paper towel underneath and see what color it is.
I had similar and thought it was condensation but discovered that it wasn’t after doing paper test. If it’s yellow, blue/green, or red hue, you got a problem.
Mine was light blue/green and ended up being hydraulic dampener fluid leak despite having no warning lights.
That's what the car wizard would do.I was reading your post and thinking "hydraulic fluid" so yeah - that is not a good thing. Definitely need to investigate what color.
Do not lick the concrete!
I know better than to lick the concrete. Much safer to stick your finger in the fluid and then lick your finger instead.I was reading your post and thinking "hydraulic fluid" so yeah - that is not a good thing. Definitely need to investigate what color.

I just picked up my R1T today and parked it in the garage. While it was charing from my wall charger it was dripping and fans running continuously. The water was running out of my garage also.Has anybody ever experienced this in other cars to this degree? I haven’t, including in other electric cars.
Rivians would be a big hit on Arrakis.This is a feature. You can collect the water in case you're stranded while Adventuring.
OhI’ll have to check mine after I drive next. I just crawled under it but it’s dry — guess it all evaporated.
I ran into the same thing today. I’ve seen some small puddles after running the AC before — felt pretty normal. Today was the first time I did some towing and there was quite a bit more fluid/condensation. It was dripping from between panels just like the first photo — seemed to me to be a leak. I was a little alarmed with how much fluid but it was totally clear and I’m pretty sure it was just a lot of condensation from the cooling system. Glad to know I’m not alone.Does your R1T have an excessive amount of fluid dripping from underneath the truck? Whenever I pull out of my garage it leaves a stream of fluid down my driveway. I am assuming it is water as it has been doing it since I got the car three weeks ago. However, it is dropping several ounces at a time. After I park the truck it continues to leak for several hours. I was originally thinking it was condensation from the cooling system, but it is extremely excessive. I opened a service request and have been ignored. The leak is coming from the crack between two panels underneath the truck near the front passenger door.
front passenger side leaking.We have had our R1S for one week and what we thought was normal condensation now feels like a leak. We added a service ticket in 2 days ago and we are 3000 miles away from home. The video is after 8 minutes at a charging station. https://photos.app.goo.gl/b3vj3JngiVMg938t8
