First time poster, very long time lurker. Thanks to everyone for your incredibly insightful content over the past few years.
I took delivery of my R1T in August (12/19 reservation). Overall, it's been awesome. 10/10. But there have been a few...uhh...beta issues that many other people have written about. I'd say my only real complaint is the suspension. Coming from a 2011 Range Rover, the Rivian feels rough, flinty and rattly at low speeds, although it feels great at anything over 35mph. I thought that maybe my R1T was weird but I drove another one and it felt almost identical. Either way, I keep harboring suspicion that something isn't quite right.
I hopped in my truck yesterday morning and heard a very loud, very forceful blast of air coming out. The car didn't drop and I was in a hurry so I drove it. A little while later, I got this message: "to change the ride height, service air suspension." The car stayed level and I drove it 10+ miles round trip. I called service when I got home, we did a hard reset and the error codes disappeared (sensors were out as well). As it restarted, we both heard the same quick, very loud blast of air, this time with a shudder in the car and an immediate error message. Service guy made a note but didn't seem to get what was going on. Since then, I haven't driven the truck but it has stayed level in the garage.
Doesn't seem like the bag itself is leaking air, so my hunch is that one of the hoses has come undone. I went under the truck and everything looked tight but there's so much pressure coming through the hoses that I'm not sure an eye or finger test would tell me if there was a problem.
Any ideas about what's going on? I live 4 hours from the nearest SC and 3 hours from the nearest mobile tech, otherwise I'd just take it over to have them look at it!
