I’m set to pick up our R1S later today and of course cruising the forums now. I know there’s some bias by reading what’s posted in the forums but I just gotta ask…there’s people out there with vehicles that have no issues right?

It’s not 100% of people with AC noises? It’s not 100% of people with suspension problems? It’s not 100% of people with unaligned steering wheel? How about the drivetrain clicking?
Don’t scrape the forums *unless* you have an issue. The power of suggestion is a major behvior psychology phenomenon. As you read about every little issue you become heightened to it. Especially subjective stuff like “sounds”. Instead enjoy your amazing new car and have a blast, if something comes up call your guide and then check here. I come here for entertainment and quick overviews of fun tips. I don’t get caught up in the Karen-style missives warning that Rivian is going to “lose a customer for life” etc over some minor thing.

R1S picked up 3/31/2023 and have 11K+ miles on her. Only one "major" issue so far. Liftgate button failed and needed to be replaced. Cleveland Service Center took care of it in an hour while I waited.

Ex R1S owner here, sold at 4k miles.

Wonderful car when it worked, but the biggest headache in my life when it didn’t.

Turning the key fob over when I sold it was the happiest feeling I’ve had in that car.

Picked up my R1S on 10/14/23. Not my daily driver (yet) so less than 600 miles, but so far (knock on wood) no problems. Haven't had a chance to try out all the features e.g. I'm waiting to add rock sliders for an off-road shakedown run.

Rivian is my 5th EV so maybe I had clear expectations about what it is.
