I was driving home from work today playing with the screen and when I swiped up to go into settings I saw this "RiDE" icon, I selected it and all I saw was this quote. I tried tapping on the screen a few times and it prompted me for a pin. I assume this is some sort of Rivian Diagnostic E{something} screen?

One of the service techs accidentally left it active after a mobile appt. I poked around a bit, but it’s basically just rudimentary data, much of which we now have access to in “gauge view” with the latest update. Really nothing significant for the end user. (This was ~6mo ago)

It isn't too special except it probably unlocks the software so the tech's computer can change things. I'm betting that's a security thing to prevent someone unauthorised from accessing and changing code in the truck.

So if you had a Rivian laptop you could do cool system-breaking things. Like the truck's BIOS menu.

I saw this pop up after I did a reset to get the Halloween mode activated. Clicked, got the quote and then I couldn’t get the Ride icon to show up again. Thought it was something new they added with the update.

I stumbled upon this during my first 2 weeks of ownership.
I never did follow up on what exactly its purpose was, until now.

It allows one to dial up Apple CarPlay.
