And why is it only on the driver’s side?

Note, this is directly in front of the driver’s side front mud flap.

Speaker for the shhhhhhhhh sound. There's also one in the back on passenger side. I stuck black duct tape over both of mine.

Ahh, I’ll check that other one next time.

Haha, why did you put duct tape over it? Planning to sneak up on people?

FYI, that's not a mud flap. That's an air dam that directs air around the tire. Mud flaps would necessarily be behind the tire.

Ahh. Makes sense. Thanks for the info! Now I feel stupid and wish Rivian service corrected me instead of just going along with it. :blush:
