Anyone install a Blind Spot Mirror?

Anyone add a blind spot mirror to the Rivian? If so, can you share information and a picture? Thank you.

I just use the integrated BLIS. Has worked flawlessly for me.

I‘m expecting Rivian will eventually roll out blind spot camera like Tesla has in a future update as well.

Just keep in mind to use the turn signal when changing lane, the car will let you know if there is a car or an object there; you really don't need the blind spot mirror... that's old school.

Certainly where I live, those stalk things behind the wheel are rarely, if ever, used by drivers. Perhaps being British and bit old school, I always thought it was advisable to indicate (that's why we call them "indicators", not turn signal) to other road user what you'd like to do on the road so you can be more predictable and everyone can plan accordingly. Perhaps it's not a requirement for the US driving test?

Fun fact: 99% of people use their side mirrors wrong. Blind spots are all but eliminated when adjusted correctly instead of looking down the side of your paint job while duplicating what you already see in your rearview.

I, myself, learned this in my 30's and wondered why it took me so long

Absolutely correct. Move an object you can see just barely backward into where you cannot see it; adjust mirror until you can. Done.

I like to watch a car passing me in my rearview. When the headlight of the car leaves my rearview I adjust my side mirror so that I can see it

Like moving a mouse across multiple monitors - when it leaves one, it just jumps on to the other.

Maximum visual coverage

Also, when done right, as the car in the adjacent lane appears squarely in the middle of your side mirror, that should coincide with the blind spot monitor turning off.

I agree, the Rivian does a fine job of alerting me about a vehicle in my blind spot (when I use my signal/indicator); However, why the F' doesn't anything show on the vehicle display?
When a car is in the back corner, my Rivian has a some lights on the display, a car in front, displays as a car, but a vehicle beside mine -nothing

The drivers' display should show three curved yellow lines at the back corner of your vehicle icon on the appropriate side.

In my experience, those lines appear in the drivers display sometime around the time a vehicle disappears from the rear view mirror, and disappear sometime around the time the vehicle becomes visible from the corner of my eye (maybe with a slight head turn).

If you're not seeing that as part of your blind spot warning (which should also include a yellow light in your side mirror, plus a special tone if you signal a turn into the affected lane), submit a ticket ASAP.

Very best wishes!
