Did Rivian outsource wheel production to Toyota?

It's more likely that they both use Harbor Freight torque wrenches.

In Rivian’s defense the wheel stayed securely attached to the hub.

It’s just the suspension that had difficulties.

Hurry up and finish. We’re late for our shift at Toyota…..

My PPF guy told me yesterday that he just did a R1T with 23 open tickets. He said that the interior creaked as much as a Tesla. I hope they get this figured out before I get my R1S!

I don't know. If they're pumping cars out that quickly and still being plagued with panel gap issues etc. it seems they're taking the Tesla approach of get them out and if anyone complains we will fix after the fact. I suspect the model works well because it's probably only something like 10% or 20% of people complain vs not noticing or just accepting the issues. Means they can just continue to pump em out and only have to deal with a small footprint of customers who will actually complain.

Atleast they are breaking them in on employees first.
