Hadn't really seen this posted on the forums. Not sure if this is something that has been around for a while or is much newer.

My delivery agent said my truck was the first he has seen with these speaker covers.

Also- I TOOK DELIVERY YESTERDAY!

Not going to write a full write up- there are many on these forums. The truck is more than I ever could have anticipated. It is amazing.

However, there are quality issues present that I don't think would have been present on earlier cars. My main infotainment screen has a very visible defect (kind of like a very small rock chip that is starting to spread on a front windscreen). I highly doubt that someone missed it. Also, as others have mentioned the PPF on the gear tunnel looks like it was put on by a 5 year old. I'm confident I could have done it better. So I'm guessing they are trying to get cars out quickly and relaxing quality standards. I will say, service called me the same day to schedule an appointment to fix it, which beat my expectations.

Love the way that aluminum looks with the light interior.

Congrats to you! I hope Rivian takes good care of you and fixes those issues. The infotainment screen is a troubling one.

Agreed, looks better than the black covers in the OC interior. Should have been what they went with all along. The black covers just call attention to the speaker locations and I think that detracts from the overall feel of any interior.

That mark is embedded in the glass. I saw it within 10 seconds of getting in the car, so it makes it hard for me to believe someone didn't notice it...

Agreed. That is right there in the black area of the screen, staring at you. No way someone didn’t see that along the way.

And now I’m gonna have to beg my SC to get me a set of these 😂

This new option looks way better than the black covers.

The new speaker covers look great!

Are they aluminum or painted plastic?

Hard to say exactly. I'm leaning towards plastic.

Mine have the same. Delivered yesterday. 155xx. Great truck but def some quality issues. Do you notice any noises at low speeds? I hear the took but also hear something in the rear axles when going over bumps. Trying to record it.
