We Check Out The Build Quality Of A 2023 Rivian R1S via insideevs.com
I took delivery of a 2023 Rivian R1S about two weeks ago, and have been thoroughly enjoying my time with it since. However, as much as I love the R1S, it's not perfect, and I did receive the vehicle with a couple factory defects. That led me to go over the entire vehicle to look for other manufacturing defects and inspect the overall build quality.
The build quality of automobiles seems to be under more scrutiny than I can ever recall in my 40 years of driving and buying cars. I attribute it mostly to the attention thatThe misaligned hatch panel on my 2021 Tesla Model 3 I personally bought two Tesla Model 3s; one was a 2019 and the second a 2021. The 2019 wasn't really bad. There were some misaligned body panels and some loose trim, but I didn't feel the need to have any of it corrected. However, when I took delivery of the 2021 Model 3, the passenger side doors were badly misaligned and needed to be removed and reset. The hatch was also very poorly aligned and needed to be adjusted so it would close properly and look better.
Before I even get into the build quality inspection in the video, I explain that the R1S was delivered to me with two issues that I consider factory defects. The first, and most serious, is an issue with the air suspension. When the vehicle releases air to lower the body, it's unreasonably loud, so much so that's it's quite embarrassing when you are walking away from it after parking in a public parking lot.
The rest of the gasket, as well as the gaskets for the other doors are all secured properly and remain snug against the body of the vehicle as they should be.
