Does anybody have a weird smell inside and outside Rivian? Not a bad smell but I know this sounds weird but like a spice smell when someone is cooking.

All R1Ss manufactured after March 23 include the culinary scents upgrade for free.

Did you use your windshield washer fluid? It’s got a specific scent. There has been much sleuthing to determine the exact supplier.

Otherwise, I’m out of ideas.

Sweet smell can imply AC freon leak.

I think it smells like eucalyptus, yet cannot figure out the different times when it is present. Sometimes it is fragrant when I get in to the car in the morning, while other times it seems to be tied to the wiper fluid.
