I turned off assistant breaking sometime last month and I've been using high regen only. I see that rotors are not wearing evenly - the right front wearing a bit faster (it is more "polished"),
also, it is worn a bit more close to the hub center: (also I see a bit more dust). The front left has a bit less wearing and less "polished" and almost no dust.
The rear rotors look perfectly fine like never used. Someone said they're absolutely meant to evenly wear cause of the design of the brakes. It seems like during manufacturing, the carrier pins weren't all greased adequately. He advised that I pull the calipers, clean and re-grease the pins generously.
I don't know if I can get this covered 'under warranty,' it seems like (mostly) no. Since brakes are considered a wear-item this is a very grey area and Rivian knows that. TO date, the few other reports of asymmetrical wear has resulted in owners paying for new pads. Anyway, I think it's good I found this early. Hope to get it resolved quickly and effectively.
