I'm not expert but this looks elementary.

Munro has a great video discussing the Rivian's suspension construction. He and his engineer wife were extremely impressed.
 
...that does look pretty shoddy. I've made better welds than that. Clearly hand-done instead of by machine.

Supposedly the quality of the build is excellent in general, so I'm really surprised to see that on a production car.
 
Yeah doesn’t look very professional although might be perfectly functional. Munro said they would have to transition to cast aluminum for those components once they get to any sort of volume. I imagine they are working on that.

True about being functional. I can't judge the integrity of it from a photo :)
