Does anyone have any idea of what this issue may be?

Is that watery or thick and oily? Video makes it seem thin and watery which would suggest a coolant leak (battery or rear drive).

either way, open a service ticket and attach the video. they'll probably need to come pick that up for service.

Thin and watery. Ticket was put in immediately. I don't feel that I should drive it with that much fluid loss.

Rivian Service experience:

Put in ticket and video via the app at around 5PM on Monday.

10 minutes later was asked to have it picked up by tow the following morning, I also received an email with an Enterprise car rental reservation as well as Uber ride share credits. Hadn't even spoken with anyone at that point.

Tow truck company picked up the car in less than 24 hours. Received an update via the app that the vehicle arrived at the service center, it's only about 30 minutes away. (Watched the live video via Gear Guard.)

Less than 12 hours after that (even though the service ticket said that the appointment wasn't until 11/01), they called to tell me the issue, the solution, and they sent over the warranty invoice via the app. Turns out it was hydraulic fluid for/from the suspension. A hose (I'm deducing) came off where it seats itself to the suspension.

It has been pretty seamless so far. Thankful. ??

The only bad thing: why does the sound system in the Hyundai Kona EV rental that I have hit harder than the Gen 1 R1S sound system!? ???? Sad!!! Rivian needs to step that up!!
