I intermittently experience a strange subsonic ear buffeting sensation in my R1S. It can be quite uncomfortable. It feels similar to having a sunroof open (not in a Rivian obviously) at speed with no side windows open.
Initially I thought it was due to high air pressure given the almost hermetic seals, perhaps due to inadequate ventilation. But the pressure does not go away when I crack a window. The pressure also does not vary by driving speed. So I don't think it is wind noise or cabin pressure related.
This makes me think it is a subsonic issue. It is intermittent. I can't identify a consistent correlation between the episodic buffeting and factors like external temperature or speed.
Has anyone else experienced this? I have a call into Rivian service.
