R1T Underbody Bolts: Why weekly checks are crucial for safety

Last night, when I reached my Rivian truck after work, my iPhone displayed a message. I captured a screenshot to show what happens if you avoid signing back into the app. The Phone as a Key (PAAK) feature still works without logging in again. If you're in an area with poor cell service, don’t try to sign in. Instead, keep using the app and PAAK until you’re somewhere with a good signal and can access your password. The screen’s text explains this, but some users still get confused. This is a quick tip for PAAK users to avoid trouble.

On Monday, I went under the truck to check for any missing or loose bolts. Thankfully everything looked good in that regard, but a panel towards the front of the truck is not flush with the rest of the underbody panels.

It sort of bows out a bit toward the ground at the back of the panel. Don't know if that's how it's supposed to look, and I'll definitely appreciate any feedback I can get with regards to that. I wrote an article once about some loose and missing bolts under my truck.

Ever since, it's been a top priority to mine to always check under my truck, making sure all the bolts are firmly in place and there's none missing. I think every owner should make that a weekly routine as well. Could help one to avoid some unwanted issues on the road.
