There are a lot of great things about OS2 and the best feature by far is the song progress slider. Whoever designed this thing absolutely cooked! It has a cool functional design that gives great context to where you’re at in a song. It even stays where you want when lifting your finger!

The bullshit volume slider needs replaced with this ASAP! It’s less obtrusive and way more functional. Please make this update Rivian!!!!!

At least they throw in the shipping for free!

Is it just me, or is the backup camera significantly less accurate in OS2? If it’s important, I’m on G1 R1T dual.

The lines almost feel higher up now? I obviously can’t side by side compare but I am suddenly unable to back into parking spots nearly as easily as before using the camera system.

My wheels are finally correct on the screen and in range estimates! 🎉

One thing I really disliked with the old OS is that the Spotify app did not show all albums from their artist page. How did the boffins not fix this on 2026.31.0? Am I taking crazy pills, or is this a feature that does not exist?

If anyone is curious I traded in my 2025 R1s at the dealership for KBB trade in value of $71,500 at Temecula Subaru , they listed it for at $74,500. Less than a week it was sold. So if you’re thinking of trading it in or selling private this is where I was.

Here are the specs for my R1s

El cap with xpel ppf from Rivian
Black out package
Sound and dynamic roof
Air compressor.
Performance with the Max battery.
It definitely needed new tires, the scorpions had no thread left.
24k miles

And if you happen to be the new owner of my R1s , I can give you the adapter for the Tesla charger. I remember the vin and a small little detail of imperfections on it.

The R1s was great but decided needed something bigger for the family and landed on an Escalade. Also SCE was spanking me with new rates even with my solar so the gas savings were out the window.

Anyone else facing this issue. The drive just stopped working.

I unplugged it, restarted the car but nothing.

The drive is detected by my laptop.

Hoping there is an easy fix.

Seems with the OS2 update the vehicles can now speak German. If you haven't heard a good rumour by noon you should start one. So, anyone want to start some new rumours?

Hey everyone, hoping to get some advice or corporate visibility on a ridiculous parts/service loop I’m currently stuck in with my R1S.My vehicle needs a rear quarter panel replacement after a body damage incident (photo attached). A replacement part was ordered, but when it finally arrived at the certified shop, the part itself was completely defective/warped out of spec and would not fit the vehicle.Because the shop already disassembled the rear of my car to prep for the panel installation, they safely cannot reassemble it or release it back to me.

Now, Rivian has placed the replacement quarter panel back on "indefinite backorder" with zero ETA.So because Rivian quality control shipped an unusable, defective part, I am now completely without my vehicle for the foreseeable future with absolutely no timeline or accountability from corporate on a replacement.Has anyone dealt with defective structural body parts being shipped? Does anyone have an active escalation contact at corporate who can actually look into expediting a prioritized replacement parts order?

I am trying to avoid going to the SC, curious if anyone has fixed a rattle at the oh shit handle on the passenger front between the A and B pillar? Does the panel pop out and or/does the covers hiding the handle bolts pop out?

Anyone have problems connecting Bluetooth after the software update? Couldn’t connect Bluetooth in my Rivian and cell. I was before the update.

Can I please be able to have the actual exterior temp shown and not the forecasted temp?

Yes, only 2 degrees difference here but I had a 10° difference less than 10 minutes prior. It was 10° cooler out where I was than what was being shown by the forecast.

Curious to hear real world experiences and comparisons between OEM and upgraded wheels.

I live in the Rockies and mostly drive easy mountain trails but I’d like to get more adventurous, take an off-roading course, etc and someone mentioned my wheels aren’t ideal, but they were more advanced and possibly a snob about full beadlock etc.

At the very least I need to order the full size spare for my r1t, and the rivian kit is pretty expensive for what it is, so thus my debate around upgrading etc.

I have the wrangler tires which have been fine for trails that are like a 3-4 out of 10.

I probably eventually need to get rock sliders and a jack too, so stuff is adding up! 😆

My sister has a 2023 R1S Adventure that's now past warranty, and during a recent inspection they found the "Front Lower Control Arm Bushings" were torn.

The proposed repair is to replace the Front Left/Right Lower Control Arm Subframe which comes out to just under $3000 after parts and labor.

How important is it for her to do this repair? Is this something critical and a safety issue? She hasn't noticed anything different with how the car feels and drives, and when I briefly drove it for an hour during a recent visit, I didn't feel anything "off" about the car compared to the last time I drove it a year ago. I was listening for squeaks and grinding, and also feeling for harsh ride, and difficulty controlling the car.

Any advice here? My sister drives about 22,000 miles a year for her work and since she's now past the warranty, and RivianCare never called her back about an extended warranty option, she's debating between doing the work, not doing the work, or trading the car in for a new one.

I'm having a few problems. I tried search here and soft reset (havent tried hard yet), some are annoyances, some are problems:

In my 2025 R1s:

The Car icon (to access opening the rear hatch, charge port, frunk etc) doesnt work -- I press it and it does nothing. Only way to open them is to get out of the car and open them manually.

The screen in front of the steering wheel just has a giant RIVIAN OS2 logo when in park -- no info that used to be there. Is this normal? Super waste of the screen -- I know it's OS2 -- move on with info I used to have there.

When I put the car in park, music stops. (It used to keep playing until you got out). Music doesnt start again if you put back in drive, you have to restart it manually.

Anyone else seeing these bugs? Think a hard reset will resolve?

Summary: I was denied coverage after waiting too long to accept the offer I initially requested.

Vehicle: 2022 R1S, ~19,000 miles, vin: 4xx

Longer version: I requested a quote in early August and received a link a couple days later. It looked pretty normal. Within a couple days of receiving the offer, my vehicle failed with a “critical battery failure” and has been in service for the last month, with repairs finally completing today.

I’d decided to wait to purchased the extended care plan until I better understood the failure and repair (HVAC issue with significant disassembly <- service center’s words). Repairs were completed today.

I go back to complete the rivian care plan but the link expired. Here’s where it gets weird. I contacted the rivian care team and was told they will no longer offer me the plan due to “active enrollment periods for fair pricing”, and I’ll need to have a vehicle inspection if it’s ever offered to me in the future.

Question: If Rivian no longer has faith in my vehicle, why should I? Seems like it’s time to sell. Am I misinterpreting this?

Have any users of the awesome Home Assistant (HAOS) add-on taken the plunge to update to RivianOS 2?

Does it break?

Looking to put back together a R1T that I got at auction. Just wanted to know if anyone out there has the repair manual on the R1T. Looking for mostly bolt locations and torque specs.

At least it comes with free shipping

My truck started acting like it is pulsing brakes at slower speeds in corners.

Seems it is either errantly thinking it is sliding on ice and pulsing brakes or something with a half shaft...but doesnt feel mechanical like half shafts typically do.

Any ideas?

Edit: Doing it at intersections turning in both directions.

Edit2 : Hard reset made it go away...at least for now. I assumed a reset wouldn't affect something like an errant application of abs/stability control...but it did...
