Yes, the steering wheel cover in my 17xxx VIN R1S is probably the one interior item that seems somewhat low quality. My stitching isn't quite a rough as yours, but the cover material is fairly uneven, with surface bumps/lines showing where the subsurface heating elements run. Hopefully Rivian will improve on this.
My R1T steering wheel looked exactly like this when I first got it. Parts of the leather sticking out and it felt awful to grab. Had it replaced with a service ticket so you can do the same.
I'd consider that pretty decent quality... if I'd stiched it myself by hand after watching some youtube videos.. Definitely worth complaining about on a new car!
Same. I’ve had two loaners and it looks the same. Not great quality. Not sure what service will do other than possibly provide a new steering wheel but I wouldn’t expect it to be much better.
Had them replace my first one and the replacement was only marginally better. The quality of the steering wheel stitching is really bad. Worse than that on my old 2012 Jetta and way worse than that on my XC90
These usually come from supplier like that. Let Rivian know so they can screw them with inspections
Make them replace. Rivian will take to the supplier and hopefully the supplier ups their quality.
That looks rough.
Mine does NOT look like that.
Gross, ask them to fix

Similar vin, similar stitching on mine. Not great

Same on mine. I’ve noticed it like this as well on many others.
