Announcing our new "CLUBS" section where you can join or create a Rivian club or group! You can use this new feature to conveniently plan and discuss local events, gatherings or other club/group related topics.
So we encourage you to join (or start) special-interest and regional-based Rivian clubs at: https://www.rivianforums.com/forum/group-categories/clubs-groups.1/
I can see the potential downside here but maybe I'm an idiot for not viewing this as a major security issue? I feel like the solution is to not leave your windows open when you leave your vehicle...fairly simple fix, no? Context - I'm coming from an older ICE where if I left my window open you would have the same type of access and be able to unlock the doors and get at anything in the vehicle. Is it a standard feature in newer cars, particularly EVs, to not allow access to the vehicle through open windows?
*Edited to confirm that I am, in fact, an idiot and didn't read spoiler #2
I think a single pull could be just flash the lights a few times and maybe a little chirp along with some Gear Guard Gary action on the screen.I tested this on my 2014 JGC. The second I pulled that handle, the alarm went off. That should be the MINIMUM the Rivian does.
A handle pull would be nice. Where I live it is common for people to come around in the middle of the night looking for unlocked cars. If alarms started going off it would drastically cut down on this activity.I tested this on my 2014 JGC. The second I pulled that handle, the alarm went off. That should be the MINIMUM the Rivian does.

You can depress one side of handle to lift the business end up and grab it. Thatās how I get back in the vehicle when in car wash mode.I'm confused, at the point they pull the handle in the video (just like my test), the window is down and they reached INTO the vehicle, thats beyond a chirp, they are already in the car.
From the outside, they can't pull the Rivian handle from what I understand, isn't it folded in?
I was referring to a single pull from OUTSIDE. The handles are folded in but if you push on them you can tilt it out and grab it and pull. This is similar to how the Tesla Model 3 and Y work. This is also how you are supposed to open the door when in "Car Wash Mode".I'm confused, at the point they pull the handle in the video (just like my test), the window is down and they reached INTO the vehicle, thats beyond a chirp, they are already in the car.

Some curious (or nefarious, depending on perspective) bystanders have tried opening R1T doors when locked, and this is the situation where I think a flash/chirp/Gary is warranted.
uh.... wasn't trying to break in? who tries to open someone else's car door if not to do that.I have suspected that the alarm doesn't work at all. I have this video of a guy pushing on my door handle and trying to open my door in a parking garage and no alarm goes off.
For Clarity - the rest of the event videos showed he was one of 2 guys clearly interested in Rivian and talking for awhile at the rear of the truck before he did this when he got in his car - I don't think he was trying to break in - but he is an idiot for trying to open the door and look.
I have sent in a support ticket and appreciate the work of @Khaneric boosting awareness!
Easy to pull the handle. Just push in on the forward part and it will pop open.I'm confused, at the point they pull the handle in the video (just like my test), the window is down and they reached INTO the vehicle, thats beyond a chirp, they are already in the car.

I was recently reviewing the motion activated videos on my truck and saw somebody trying the door handle. A curious couple walking their dog went all around the truck, probably spending a good 2 minutes looking it over. They did not appear to be criminaling about, just checking out that new Rivian thing they read about. At one point one tried to poke at the door handle a couple times.uh.... wasn't trying to break in? who tries to open someone else's car door if not to do that.
This is a genius idea. Youāre hired as Rivian Chief of Security Tech.ā¦Pulling on the handle warrants lasers frying them...
Ok I guess itās possible itās not criminal but wtf. Who the hell touches someone elseās property just cause they are curious?

Sadly, no alarm was triggered. It would have made for a better video if it startled them.
