Rivian needs to get their customer service knowledge base figured out. I was told they could mail me a fully activated keycard for $70 (though by service, not CS).Last week I reached out to Rivian CS to ask about cost and process of acquiring additional keycards. This is what they said:
I thought I had read the same. Basically the particular CS agent I reached did not know specifics and was just. passing the buck. I think I will sacrifice one of my two existing cards to have a CNICK made, then acquire another card with a list of initial quality issues I've been meaning to submit since delivery last summer.Rivian needs to get their customer service knowledge base figured out.

54% of reviews on Amazon are 5-star reviews. Look at reviews for other products, including popular ones (like Dyson vacs and fans), you'd see the same trend. Plus, this is a made-to-order product that involves manual work, of transplanting customer supplied NFC keycards and chips/antennas. Mishaps can happen during the transplant process, and health of the chips themselves can vary. There is probably a bit of user-error involved too, associated with the bad reviews. "They gave a bad RFID sensor"... This one makes absolutely no sense. The sensor is on their car. Not the ring. And in ideal conditions NFC tags can last 10 years.This is awesome and I want one.
But I’m a little concerned with the Seller’s reviews…
Did you have the launch edition model? If not, I would love to know how you got a wristband.Go to a service center and you'll have it within 30 minutes. I got another one and a wristband when I picked up my car on a whim and waited maybe 15 minutes for them to get activated.
When I picked up my R1T at the SC in Atlanta, I asked them for one. My "advisor" told me they had 1000's of them along with Cross Bars (out of stock in the shop) and told me to give him 15-30 to get it ready for me at the end of delivery.Did you have the launch edition model?
