Picked up my 2025 Tri R1S almost 2 weeks ago. With all the rain right now, I am noticing that the when the front wipers are on and reaching the outermost position, there is some noticeable vibration on the gas pedal while stopping and moderate speeds. Never felt similar vibrations on other cars before and thought it was odd. Has anyone else noticed this?

Yep. It's one of the quirks.

it’s a Rivian thing… it’s not a defect, it’s a feature! 😁

It never rains in Southern California so I think I've noticed it twice in a year lol. I think like anything, you'll get used to it.

Because there are so few *other* vibrations… you feel the torquey motor of the wipers

When we all drove ICE cars, did anyone freak out over engines causing vibration? I just don't understand this phenomena of concern when the context is EVs. It's electrically driven, but it's still a transportation machine—not an isolation chamber built for solitary confinement.

gas pedal??? 😄
They want fart sounds to go with each pedal press too, probably.

Yes, ICE cars make sounds and vibrate. However, I never had any car (gas or electric) transfer any vibration onto the pedal. When I noticed these vibrations the first time, I thought something was going on and it took me a while to figure out. This really shouldn't happen...
