Respectfully, I think anyone who knowingly buys a Rivian R1S with these issues (and many more potential issues not reported here) are FOOLISH. This is why there are financial losers and winners in this zero sum world. I would never spend 100K on a vehicle with so many issues. X7 any day over R1S.

I see your point. Do I wish I didn't have any of these issues? Sure, but I took the risk of buying a first gen EV from a new company instead of an established platform from a legacy brand. I think the difference is that I knew going into it that there will be some issues. It's definitely not a car for everyone, especially if you just want a point A to B luxury road car. To each their own.

@@ChargeSetGoOf course no one wishes to experience these issues, especially from a 100K vehicle. Rivian still has many issues including sub-par ride quality. When I mean by sub-par is that Rivian is worse than the Honda Pilot in ride comfort. It is actually a terrible financial decision to buy a Rivian. No dispute about that. If you are wealthy and can afford to make a poor financial decision, then to each his own.

Looks like you made up your mind so I won't argue, but life isn't all about making precise mathematical financial decisions. That would be depressing. Sometimes you want to buy cool things because... you want to! You are right, if someone can afford something and enjoys it, to each their own. I don't go around spreading negativity about people's preferences, however.

Even with 3 test drives I could not understand the ride quality of Rivian. I will have to check the 2nd gen out.

I've had my R1S since October last year and I have had none of these issues - and most owners that I know haven't had them either.

We have our R1S since September 2023 with same alignment issues and was fixed in one service appointment. We had our front passenger door handle retracting when opened and it took multiple trips to get it resolved. I have a right front door panel that is not lined up but not a big deal resulted from stamping I guess. The front camera looks like it needs recalibration and have an appointment. One thing I've consistently experienced is that Rivian has an excellent service team and dedication and I know your issues will be resolved. Yes, we are part of some of these small headaches especially for a startup, but out the door for their 1st EVs (three at once, then three again) they did a fantastic job compared to Tesla which we have as well. Considering we purchased our R1S before the price increase in March 2022, you are never going to get any quad motor SUV this capable for $75k. Rivian will succeed and I'm looking to add the R3 in our family.

Thanks for sharing. Do you know if they did anything other than alignment? Or the alignment numbers? Glad many of your issues were resolved. I also had great customer service so I have confidence they will get to a solution soon. Also can't wait to check out the R3 in person!

Same steering issue

I'll reply back if I find any more useful info on alignment in the future

Looks like your tire pressure is lower on the right side, front and back Even 1lb of difference could be noticeable - ask a race car driver.

That's a good catch! I checked and both right side tires are 1 PSI lower than the left. I'll try inflating it and get back with results.

I filled up both the right tires and drove ~150 miles. Still seems to be pulling right unfortunately.
