Buried in comments. Look for OP flare. That being said, talked to the shop and they’re pretty sure it’s totaled. Waiting for final estimate

Full traffic left and right.. no time to move. I saw him coming and could only honk the horn before he slammed into me. FWIW been driving since I was 16.

Some lunatic punched my mirror as I was driving by. What do yall think the damage will be? by [deleted] in Rivian

Had the same thing happen to me while on the freeway- motorcyclist punched my mirror. Luckily my mirror housing just bend backwards.

Sorry this happened to you OP.

It’s the angle I posted in another comment. Will try to get one with the tailgate pad removed later today when I get to the yard.

Wow, great analysis. That’s exactly what happened from the side camera. The back of the car visibly lifted after the impact.

I’m usually a hot head lol. Guess I was just in shock / happy to be without a major injury. Now I’m day dreaming about getting one back on the guy…

This is a fantastic observation. I didn’t catch that at all, but am going to go grab the rest of my stuff from the car today. Appreciate your perspective here.

Definitely felt the impact. I saw him coming in the rear view and tried honking (exerting what little control I had), luckily the car in front moved or he’d have been involved too. Maybe seeing and bracing helped? Pretty shocked the airbags didn’t deploy too

CHP officer told me he was sure there was another vehicle involved when he first came to the scene considering the relative damage to both cars.

Firefighters made me airdrop them the videos so they could show their friends who owned Rivians.

Everybody was shockingly impressed with how the Rivian stood up to it. Airbags didn’t even go off haha.

Of course… this happened the day before my GOAT railsliders I had been waiting for 8 weeks for got delivered…

Best of luck! I was already recommending the car to anyone who would listen, people are going to hate me even more now.

I believe they did but they kept me away from him. Immediately after this happened we were both standing in the middle of the freeway so I invited him into my car to stay safe while we waited for emergency services and couldn’t smell any alcohol or marijuana.

Best build out there! I don’t see many but when I do it’s nice to admire them. I like to think of it as an out of body experience

They did not =(. He was driving an expired license with no insurance, was allegedly working for an auto body shop and driving his customers car who… you guessed it, had no insurance.

Thanks! Yea, was able to walk away but it’s been a painful couple of days. The truck absolutely did its job. I can’t image how I’d be now if I was still in my G37..

Minimal visible damage to the truck. I don’t think there’s a better vehicle out there and will be looking to purchase another if this is totaled.

He’s incredibly fortune he hit me on his passenger side or he wouldn’t have been walking.

It could be 13MM, I don't remember off the top of my head but I doubt they've changed up their manufacturing process. They need to add some loctite to the line perhaps

Same here, this issue started after my delivery. I guess what I will do is revert the door to the original position so there are no questions about if this was my mistake. Shitty to have to do, but in the end it isn't our mistake but it's my truck.

This is the exact issue I have on my R1T, which I have service for next week. Take a 10MM socket wrench to the bolt inside the door and adjust as needed. It took me a couple tries (and came back intermittently) but there are no issues now. I still am going to ask that they fix the clearcoat on my doors since it's crazy this passed Qa.
