Although I don't have my R1S yet, the forums are good places to learn what things have gone wrong for new owners of the R1T. I hope there can be a "List of Things to inspect" (LOTI) when taking delivery" for both R1T and R1S vehicles. If you've taken delivery and can provide some advice to prospective owners, please add to LOTI.
Below is a list of things I can recall people having trouble with. Some of the problems (bricking in the middle of an intersection) might be impossible to detect/predict or fix at delivery, but PLEASE ADD THEM, ANNOTATE OR CORRECT LIST so people can catch minor and potentially major problems during the delivery process. It may even help Rivian deliver better vehicles. Frankly, Rivian should have a list like this that delivery specialists check BEFORE every delivery.
1. Are all methods (phone, key fob, cards, wrist band) to enter vehicle operational?
1a. When you walk away from the vehicle, does it shut down properly?
2. Does tonneau cover work properly?
3. Any noticeable 12V battery issues?
4. Are underbody panels screwed in tightly?
5. Does each door shut properly?
5a. Is weatherstripping aligned?
6. Does AC, heat and venting work properly?
7. Make sure your delivery specialist shows you how to fix frozen screens or the various re-booting methods
