I like the rivian cars, but i have worked for years as a hardware engineer and i am 100 percent certain this was a known issue. I have seen design scrutinized on so much less and this is just such an obvious issue…
Rivian and Tesla are trying to hit price points with lower volumes so they are 100% aiming to reduce manufacturing costs even if it creates scenarios like this.

This was an issue when they were making record profit margins in the industry and charging $150,000++.
It’s only a problem now when people pull out of purchases because they get a shocking insurance quote.
If you don’t scrutinize then you don’t find any issues?
The issues get fixed before production, except, not in this case it seems.
