RIVIAN R1T IS BACK! FULL BREAKDOWN OF MY SERVICE EXPERIENCE DRIVING A GAS CAR AGAIN?

EV Channels Review

The reviewer details their experience picking up their Rivian R1T after a significant repair at the San Diego service center. The primary issue was a screeching noise caused by a loose bolt on the hub assembly, which necessitated the replacement of the hub and half-shaft on the front driver's side. The reviewer highlights the excellent service received from the San Diego Rivian team, particularly Spencer, and praises the warranty coverage for the repair. A key takeaway for Gen 1 R1T and R1S owners is the recommendation to have the hub assembly inspected due to potential issues. The reviewer also notes that their vehicle received its final free alignment under the 12-month/12,000-mile warranty on their one-year delivery anniversary. The experience of driving a gas-powered Mitsubishi Outlander as a rental is contrasted with the EV, with the reviewer expressing a strong preference for their electric truck and finding the gas car experience cumbersome. The video also touches on Rivian's mobile service vans and the process for aftermarket running boards during service.
