EVERY SERVICE MY RIVIAN R1T NEEDED OVER 3 YEARS & 60,000 MILES

EV Channels Review

This video details the comprehensive service history of a 2022 Rivian R1T Launch Edition over three years and 60,000 miles, covering 10 service appointments and 54 distinct issues. The reviewer, highly particular about vehicle condition, proactively addressed numerous minor concerns, including body panel alignment, suspension squeaks, and persistent half-shaft clunking noises, which were never fully resolved to his satisfaction. While the truck never left him stranded and the powertrain proved reliable with minimal degradation, the service experience was marked by long wait times (8-10 weeks) and occasional inconvenience due to loaner car availability. Despite the extensive list of repairs, including multiple suspension components, a chargeport door, and even a steering wheel replacement, the reviewer expresses a strong overall satisfaction with the R1T, highlighting its capability and the quality of early models, though he notes a perceived decline in build quality for Gen 2. He would happily purchase another Rivian, but desires quicker service turnaround times.
