About to try a hard reset - but the powered tonneau cover on our gen2 is not ‘locking’ following the 26.30.15 update. As a result anyone can open it by pushing the button on the outside of the truck. All other doors/openings etc seem to be working normally (ie the tailgate doesn’t open - unless...

I’m looking for advice on an audio issue in my Gen 2 Tri Motor R1T and trying to work out whether this is a known Gen 2 premium audio behavior, a software issue, or something specific to my truck. I have a couple of (Gen1) Rivians for comparison, and neither has this issue: The symptom is that...

Has anyone with the Gen2 premium system experienced a sudden change where the front stage loses bass and the sound shifts rearward? Mine changed mid-track while driving last week. Since then: Bass drops noticeably when I fade to front left or front right. Sound is "normal" when front centered...

There’s a pretty common piece of advice in the EV/tech car world: “Buy X for the features it has today, not the ones that are promised.” With Rivian’s Autonomy Day coming up - and thoughts circulating about what that means for us - I’m starting to think that advice is no longer as reassuring as...

Just as I thought things were over, muffin strikes again. The slats have split apart on our gen1.2 powered tonneau (gen2 truck) - any way to remove them? They don’t seem to have enough tolerance on either side to let me pivot them out from the track, and as our truck has stops at the end can’t...

Just got my truck back from service and it’s making one hell of a noise whist parked. I was familiar with the ‘crypt opening‘ creak on gen1 - and the trick of using some dry lube to get rid of it, but this seems something else? Its making it fairly regularly in our garage, as I assume gen2 is a...

Not seen this posted anywhere yet - but the Normal Illinois RAN has now been upgraded to support NACS on one of its dispensers. Presumably more to come.

I was wondering if anyone had a good recommendation for camera mounts for the front of the R1 so that we can record the hood (especially where it joins with the light bar) and charge port door whistles driving. Whist looking at other options to our R1T I noticed that the Hagarty R1S quad drag...

Looks like Rivian assist AI is down? Can’t get access to create a ticket atm.

Before I go nuclear, can anyone tell me if they have experienced this on their gen2 R1? Background: Just got truck back from service for camera and recording issues, and I'm completely unconvinced that things are resolved. If this is an issue with all/many/some gen2's then I suppose I'll bite...

On Tuesday, I dropped the R1T at Normal (again!) and drove home to St. Louis in a loaner R1S: a 2025 Dual Motor with Max Pack and 20″ A/Ts. Great loaner, but it came with a Gen2 keycard instead of a fob. When I got home, I found one of our cast-iron stacks failed. Chaos ensued: moving...

Looks like Rivian/Apple is finally rolling out Apple Wallet car key support for Gen2!!! I’m really excited to finally use my Apple Watch as a key and to be able to unlock the R1 even when our phone’s are dead thanks to Express Mode. This is a big win for seamless iPhone/Watch integration and UWB...

About a month ago (yes - within a week of getting the truck back from what I hope is the end of its saga), I began noticing glitches in the drive and incident camera recordings—most notably, footage from different cameras blending together. I’ve also seen several camera angles missing from Gear...

After a couple of years in Gen 1 Rivians—which have always felt a little anemic with respect to cooling capability and cabin airflow—I finally spent a couple of days using our Gen2 R1T's heat pump in cooling mode. It’s a revelation—I’d frankly been a bit “meh” on the heat pump in heating mode...

I recently received the key fob for our Gen2 truck, and I’m noticing some differences compared to the Gen1 fob(s). Beyond the harder plastic and thinner rubber coating, the Gen2 unit produces a noticeable amount of rattling. Is this typical for the Gen2 model? I’ve attached a video comparing...

Edit: see this post for an update: In summary - things are looking much better! I’ve been a Rivian fan from the start. We jumped in early 2023 with a Gen1 quad R1T (in the best color, Compass Yellow), and that truck was initially rock-solid for us. Because of that fantastic experience, we...

We currently have a pair of Gen1 Rivians: an R1S with base dual motors and an R1T with Bosch Quads. Unfortunately, we might be parting with our Quad soon (for reasons...), so we’re in the market for a replacement. Having driven both configurations extensively, I can confidently say that the...
