For Tesla, Rivian and others, so far all is good. I’m not saying I love it but I bet the minute someone’s Tesla or Rivian gets compromised, everyone will scream about how relaxed their security is.

Security and convenience are a tradeoff, not a toggle.

Why must we go to another screen to view the battery temperature when preconditioning?

Software version 2025.18.1 was just discovered on a 2022 Rivian Model R1T Quad in Washington United States on electrafi.com. Follow the pending updates at https://electrafi.com/firmwareRivian?detail=2025.18.1.

Mine is connected and a barely use it.

I checked mine but forgot I don’t run the app until I’m about to drive. This forum is at the top of my list at 19% in ten days. 😉

MFA adds a second layer (something you have, like a phone or token), drastically increasing security. A 4-digit PIN is not as secure and can be guessed.

Great observation. I was kind of waiting to see how they would implement this but to your point, this could be another use case for MFA. Let’s see.

Maybe not a priority but something they felt could be implemented at this time. That doesn’t mean all other issues were put on the back burner. It could just mean other issues are more complicated and haven’t been remediated yet. Rivian can focus on more than one thing at a time and why not...

The concept of Multi-factor Drive is a good one. Millions of phones are stolen each year and given it’s the key to your car this feature should provide added protection. How Rivian implements this may be the deciding factor for me.

Via the mobile app toward the bottom of the home page there’s a share feedback option.

I saw my first Rvian in red today. Does Rivian red have an orange tone or did I see a wrapped Rivian?

The experience between owners is so different. Could this be due to different software packages pushed depending on region, hardware, or feature set, connectivity issues that cause failed OTA installs that leave the system in an unstable state, component manufacturers (e.g., memory, sensors)...

I read it as eliminating the tax credit and tacking on a fee of 250/year for fully electric vehicles and $100/year for hybrids, if the new bill is adopted. Not sure if the new bill applies to existing EV owners as well.

I assumed it would mention it since it was linked to an EV subscription email I get. If you do a simple google search for “car tax of $250 each year for EV drivers” there’s plenty of resources that note this potential tax being proposed. It is also mentioned here...

I know this is not the actual bill, but.. https://www.cnbc.com/2025/05/21/gop-aims-to-axe-ev-green-tax-credits-act-now-to-claim-the-breaks.html

Yesterday, the House of Representatives voted to not only eliminates EV and clean energy tax credits but also adds a car tax of $250 each year for EV drivers. The bill eliminates tax credits for EVs, solar panels, and energy efficiency improvements that save Americans’ money.

I had this occur once since the latest update. This is the first time since owning my R1S from Dec 23.

I haven’t used this in quite some time, but I’m a Gen 1 owner and setting this option to ‘always’ did allow me to use PAAK without opening the app, I just tested it. I only stopped using this because my bedroom is close to the vehicle and it use to unlock the doors. Setting ‘always’ was a little...

I agree. I was told by someone at the Brooklyn service center that the Woodbury LI location will open in August.
