R1S tri max Halloween delivery

[HapticWagon]

note: this is stream of observations day 1, not necessarily negatives, just observations

Got my R1S TriMax today! So, Short experience post: the communications leading up to the delivery and during the wait period could be improved tremendously. I had open questions day of delivery that were not addressed until I was at delivery center. Bottom line, it was hard to get quick responses from delivery team, and rarely ever got a call from them.
I didn’t do through look over on the car, not toooooo picky on panel alignment and stuff, but I think this unit was put together very well! Can’t complain too much!

There was a deep scratch on the tow hook cover rear of car, that they replaced the black cover for on the spot since they couldn’t buff it out.
driver door sealing is a bit off, but I figured I will deal with it for now. And attempt to self mitigate it.
only “minor problem” I’ve had so far is that audio didn’t work at all initially during walkthrough, and a soft reset restored that functionality. However the premium audio sounded very muddy even with Dolby atmos. This seems to have improved a little bit after a sleep cycle. But still nothing compared to Tesla Model Y or BMW base audio.

Currently have a “major problem” my iOS app will not let me toggle the climate controls. It just says “Climate controls are unavailable while someone is sitting in a front seat.” Unless this is a Halloween feature of a ghost sitting in my front seat, it seems busted. Sleep cycle has not helped here, and hesitant to do another soft reset twice in a day.. any pointers on this would be appreciated! (It did seem to happen after messing with the Halloween costumes) posted some findings here: https://www.rivianforums.com/forum/threads/hitchhiking-ghosts-hvac-bug.35279/post-652186

I notice clicks and vibrations on the pedals every time the wiper blade wipes. Or when the auto hold engages/disengages. The heap pump is loud, but not that bad in cabin, vibrations is minimal.

I love the ride! Very smooth! Steering is nice. Highway assistance is OK, not good as BMW’s. Air suspension is amazing, not too bouncy at all. It is rainy here so cannot give full beans yet unfortunately.

I don’t get the ‘gas’ pedal. I’ll be just backing slowly into my garage and the darn thing clicks and clicks and clicks

I don't see any rain in your photo...better go out and test the acceleration and sport handling.

Congrats. I picked up my tri max on Monday. A few quality control issues and rattles that we opened a ticket for. I also had to reset the vehicle because several channels weren’t playing while listening to Apple Music

congrats! I’m trying to figure out how picky to be about fit and finish… mainly concerned about water getting where it shouldn’t because the sealing around the car is very… erratic. E.g. the seal near the rear windows, both sides:

I have a Gen 1 with Meridian and just sat in a Gen 2 with premium. It is very muddy sounding with NO treble. It depends on the codec whether it sounds good or not. Only thing holding me back from upgrading, other than that I’m poor.

idk what’s going on today, normal music sounds better than Dolby Atmos! (Apple Music)

Yeah, I turned off Spatial Audio even in Meridian. It does weird things to most of the music I listen to. Voice overpowers instruments recently. Turned off spatial and everything sounds more equal.
