On Monday, a member of our Rivian club was on her way to pick up her son from school and was stopping with the flow of traffic at an intersection when a Chevy Silverado with a tar kettle trailer slammed in to the back of her R1S. She had just picked up the rig last Tuesday (166 total miles).
After reading through some online threads, she was a bit concerned about the timing to get her car fixed as parts are likely not readily available(according to her).
She also noticed a brown sort of fluid that appears to be leaking from the rear undercarriage of the vehicle and the sensors and hot spot no longer work.
Silver lining is the R1S is built like a tank. Thankfully her mom and son were not in the vehicle. Her vehicle doesn't look too good and I hope Rivian can have her issue sorted out in no time so she can be able to enjoy her vehicle just like other Rivian owners. Here are a couple of photos she shared with out group.
