Is that fog in my charging light bar? Yes, it is.

Rivian R1T R1S Water and Fog in Charging Light Bar - R1S Water-Light-Bar


My R1S is garage kept at home and work, but I did run it through a touchless (water jet) car wash a few days before this photo.

I hope it evaporates?

They are designed to evaporate water out. From what I can see in your photo that doesn't look too bad.

That said I have had my rear light bar replaced twice when that mechanism failed and they just had moisture in them for months, on the second the light eventually failed as well.

You can see a photo of what mine looked like the second time here.

Thanks for posting that - I can't believe this is an issue. Such a pain.

Had the same issue -- got a service appointment and they replaced it. It's never occurred after that.

I had mine serviced also!! They replaced everything and resealed it, water/fog is not supposed be in the light bar! If I were you I would bring it in. It was covered under warranty! Bonus
