This is my big concern too. Jose says: āIn an emergency, rescuers can still open those doors manually using the exterior handles.ā Iām not sure thatās true. I havenāt seen that officially from Rivian, and donāt know how to test.
If I might make a suggestion here: careful relying on these. Firstly you need to be able to find them, as a crash severe enough to need them is also one where you likely went sideways or upside down. They should be tied or velcroed to a spot you know you can get to. Loose in a door pocket is no...
A few of us went through this on Reddit the other day, see below. My posts are the ones with the yellow/green pull cord, if you have questions. (Iām also happy to bring the content here, if anyone wants it on this site for posterity.)
I contend that removing the panel to access the mechanical...
I have a hunch youāre right! š
I will add: if the Apple Watch functionality proves reliable over the coming months, that solves the problem for me, as I always have mine on.
Subaru has a great feature where the rear gate button can be used to unlock the car with a code. You program a 5 digit code, and then to unlock you tap the button 3 times for 3, 7 times for 7, etc. for all five digits, then the car unlocks. Super simple and effective. I wonder if that is somehow...
Iāve noticed this behavior, but hadnāt thought of where force awakening (thereās a Star Wars joke here somewhereā¦) can be used to my advantage. Thanks for the idea, this is a good one.
Anyone know the deal with Rivian selling this now? Why would they wait until the current 2026s are being sold without rails to sell something that you need rails for!? Maybe the R2 will have rails, so theyāre putting it on the Gear Shop now for all the 2025 and earlier R1Sās...
Do we know why the car locks if you walk away empty handed? If the car isnāt sensing your phone go out of range, are the cameras watching you walk away? Is it just a timer after the doors close? Seems like something in the software need to be fixedā¦
This happened to me today...but I figured it was because I had my Apple Watch on, and it sensed me walking away with that key, and therefore ignored my phone key in the car. Was that your situation too? If you don't have a watch with a key, that's super odd...and something I'll be wary of in the...
I am new owner, and always give a wave/salute...even though I know the other driver never sees me š
My family bought a Saturn in the early/mid 90s. The company made it very clear they are a new, cool, hip brand, and every Saturn owner MUST wave to every other Saturn they come across š It was a...
So I'm a new owner, and curious people's thoughts on which add-on data platform is "best". Or really, just the differences, and why someone would choose one over the other. Hereās the list of what I know of, but perhaps there's more: Rivian Roamer, Home Assistant, ElectraFi, TezLab and Outpost...
I currently have a 2026 loaner from my SC. Iām pretty sure they told me it has the premium audioā¦it has the dynamic roof, so it must have the premium audio too, right? Anyway, I agree with you guys. Those EQ settings did virtually nothing, it was disappointing.
You recommending this even after the 12V is replaced, and all is back to ānormalā?
I ask because where I am electricity rates are ~5X more expensive during peak times (5-9pm) vs. off-peak (after 9pm). It could get real expensive real quick to plug in every day after work, even if just adding...
As others have said, definitely not windex.
I use this, same product as my laptop and monitor. Be sure to spray on the cloth and wipe the screen with the damp cloth, do not directly spray the screen.

So so so many people donāt blink at the $5k price tag for lifetime performance package! Assuming most, or at least a lot, of Rivian drivers consider that a reasonable priceā¦then I think itās potentially a steal at $2500. This absolutely will be as impactful to some drivers ā and itās half the...
