I love it! It’s saying hello to you
There isn’t. It’s not an intentional feature. It’s the rain sensor mistaking dirty windshield or glare as rain drops. If it bugs you enough to post about it, set wipers to off instead of auto, it’s that simple. Whenever you do want a quick wipe, momentary press of the washer button at end of left stalk. Press and hold if you want it to squirt and wipe. If it does actually rain, it’s quick and easy to set it to auto or any of the other settings.
This. I had it bad enough with my truck that I just turned off auto wipers until it actually rained. My sensor separated from the windshield a year ago and I had a new sensor installed and calibrated. Since then I can leave auto wipers on and very rarely ever see the "courtesy swipe" if I've been parked outside for awhile and there's dust on the window or something. But in practice, it rarely happens now.
No, no there is not.
Yes, there is. You can search it in the forums or talk to a Rivian cs rep. My windshield is brand new and my car is garaged. It’s crystal clear. Still swipes when I put it in gear. So I talked to the mobile guy who told me it’s a courtesy swipe. I then called to see if I can turn it off, they said it’s a feature and cannot be turned off. Both called it the same thing. Search it.
All I can tell you is that I’ve had my R1S for just shy of 1 year, every single day of it with the windshield wipers on auto and the only time they engage is when there is something detected on the windshield. You may want to probe more to get the sensors looked at. Because that is not actually a feature.
