Saw the lakebed-mud-stuck R1S at Brooklyn Service Center

Folks on Discord agree this is the one due to damage and location.
And it looks like EDV's Achilles heel is the windshield

Oof. That is a LOT of glass used for the EDV.

Some of those look less like it was a rock on the highway and more like some EV-hater took a baseball bat to them.

Fuyao!!

Wow… Rivian really needs to figure out their glass…. Those EDVs will be rock magnets.

I suspect the story of horribly stuck R1S includes a spouse who told the driver to not go out into the mud

I'm not really seeing the connection between the stuck R1S and this one pictured, unless there are more pics showing it getting heavily damaged during extraction. For example, there doesn't seem to be any reason why the C pillar Rivian logo would be missing from the one stuck in the mud or what would have happened to the taillights to necessitate their replacement.

I'm not either. Also missing the rear R1S badge, and rear passenger window is broken. Either not the same vehicle, or somewhere between when the vehicle was photographed stuck in the mud and when it was towed, somebody came by and vandalized it.

So we’re supposed to infer that EDVs with broken windshields (at a service center) indicates a design flaw? Huh? So when I go to my Toyota dealer and see all those cars being serviced I should infer systemic reliability problems with all Toyotas?

 

[RBR1S]

Hmm, do I really need those ATs. Are they really "ALL" terrain.
