I’m starting to think Rivian really doesn’t send updates to vehicles running very old software versions. I actually called Rivian again today — they told me it shouldn’t be a problem and that they can push an update to my truck. But honestly, I don’t understand how that would work, since the...

Just to clarify — are you referring to this adapter? (photo below) If that’s the one you mean, I actually know a service here that has it and knows how to work with it. No one here has access to the Rivian Partner Portal. Do you know how it’s possible to get access to that program?

The truck is already connected through a U.S.-based VPN, so that part is covered — but unfortunately, there’s no real way to spoof the GPS. The only workaround would be parking it underground where there’s no GPS signal, but even then, the vehicle just holds on to its last known location, so it...

I was actually deciding between a Tesla and a Rivian for quite a while — did a lot of research, watched tons of reviews, and really took my time. In the end, I chose to go with a Rivian from the U.S. After seeing a couple of them here in Kazakhstan, I was pretty much set on it. Just felt like...

Thanks for the suggestion — I’ll try reaching out to that service in the UAE and see if they can help. I’ll update here once I hear back from them.

Exporting a Rivian from the U.S. isn’t exactly straightforward — with all the current sanctions, it could easily be denied. I already had to go through quite a few headaches just to get it into Kazakhstan. And honestly, that’s the case with most vehicles exported from the U.S. these days — it’s...

I’m not complaining at all — just sharing my experience in case it’s useful to others or if someone has dealt with similar issues. Also, parts for Rivian are actually widely available here, and service is being handled just fine locally.

Yes, the truck shows the correct GPS location without any issues.

Yeah, Spotify works really well — same with TuneIn. No issues at all with streaming, so the internet connection itself seems solid.

To be honest, I initially thought Rivian might be completely blocked in Russia, but I didn’t expect to run into these kinds of problems here in Kazakhstan. I already reached out to Rivian and asked if they could manually push an update to my vehicle, but I have a feeling they won’t be able to...

Yeah, I actually connected the truck to Wi-Fi through a U.S.-based VPN and left it in the garage for four days, fully connected the whole time. Spotify and TuneIn were working fine, so the internet connection was definitely active. But the truck never established a connection with Rivian’s...

I actually tried getting in touch with Rivian about this — they told me they’d look into it and get back to me. That was over a week ago, and I still haven’t heard anything.

I actually tried updating the vehicle using a router with a U.S.-based VPN, hoping it would trick the system into downloading the latest firmware, but unfortunately that didn’t work. To make things worse, the Rivian app doesn’t see the truck at all. Even when it’s connected to Wi-Fi, it just...

Actually, Tesla works pretty well here in Kazakhstan. There are quite a few service centers and a growing number of independent shops that can handle diagnostics, maintenance, and repairs. Unfortunately, with Rivian it’s a completely different story — no one here really knows how to work with...

Hi everyone, I recently brought my Rivian to Kazakhstan (yes, it’s finally here!), and while everything has been going pretty well so far, I’ve hit a frustrating issue: my vehicle is still stuck on firmware version 2023.06.02, and no updates are coming through. The vehicle says it’s “up to...
