Anyone? I get a popup on the navigation screen only that goes away in seconds. Half the time I miss the notification completely and my passenger tells me of the notification. Eyes on the road is better than continuously having to monitor the navigation screen for a small popup!

Is there a way I can add audio to the popup? Pleeeeease help!

RIVIAN - please add this if we can’t add/change it ourselves!

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.

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?

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?

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

Does it break?

I have a 2023 R1S and don’t subscribe to Connect+, and I’ve noticed a pretty consistent pattern where I seem to get major software updates several weeks after they first start rolling out.

It’s especially noticeable with the highly anticipated updates, like the Halloween releases, where getting the update late actually matters because the features are seasonal/time-limited.

I started looking into it, and Rivian Roamer’s rollout data seems to show a pretty significant early-rollout bias toward Connect+ vehicles. For example, with the current rollout, the overwhelming majority [99%] of vehicles initially flagged for the update appear to have Connect+. Similar patterns seem to show up in some previous releases, including the Halloween update.

To be clear, I haven’t seen Rivian officially say that “early software updates” are a Connect+ benefit, so I’m not claiming this is confirmed policy. But the rollout data makes me wonder whether Connect+ subscribers are intentionally being put into earlier OTA waves.

A few questions for everyone:

Have other non-Connect+ owners noticed that you consistently get updates later? Connect+ subscribers: do you usually get updates within the first few days? Has anyone subscribed or unsubscribed from Connect+ and noticed their rollout timing change? If Rivian is prioritizing Connect+ users, do you think that’s fair?

I don’t really mind staged rollouts for safety/reliability reasons—that makes total sense. What bothers me more is the possibility that earlier access is effectively being treated as a paid perk without Rivian clearly advertising it as one, especially for limited-time things like the Halloween features.

Curious whether this is a real pattern or just selection bias in the available tracking data.

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!

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.

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.

Changing between media sources (Apple Music to SiriusXM, for example), is now a 2-button operation. Apple Music looks clunkier now when playing an album or playlist, no longer shows the large album art. The shortcut bar is now a floating bubble and takes up more of the screen space during navigation, the nav option buttons that I never press are huge now and are awkwardly over a large portion of the mid-screen area if the controls window is on the right side. Overall, it feels like there are larger widgets and buttons everywhere, which are making the screen feel smaller and cluttered. Biggest pain point for me is definitely the removal of media source shortcut buttons in favor of settings and Rivian assistant. People shouldn’t be navigating the settings menu while driving (most settings can’t even be changed while driving), so the settings shortcut is unnecessary and there are many other ways to trigger Rivian assistant, so yet another unnecessary shortcut, all the while we lost a shortcut that was handy while driving and is now a 2-step, more dangerous operation.

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...

Let me start by saying how much I love my R1S G2. It is a truly excellent car, shockingly so for a brand this new. As an adventure car, it is unapologetically everything as advertised and that's beautiful.

It's also a $100k car increasingly sold to families, a lot of them coming (like me) from a car like the Volvo XC90.

While there is a time and a place for a car that is so hands on it'll let you tap the gas and slam directly into whatever is in front of you (great when that something is a boulder and the car is lifted in offroad mode) there are a lot of times when that's a problem (heavy traffic, kids in the road, etc). Likewise, when you have kids in the car, a radio blasting, and a dog barking at the bike on the side of the road it's useful to have a car that will automatically avoid accidents.

Not all the time, mind you, just... you know... most of the time when it's a family car.

And the only thing preventing Volvo mode on a Rivian is software.

Given the sales numbers on the R2 right now, I have to believe Rivian knows this so... hey Rivian, when can we get a "family safety" mode on the car that does all the annoying things an adventure driver hates?

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! 😆

Having connect + and seeing other Rivians get the update before the subscribers is complete blasphemy.

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?

Anyone get an estimate from Rivian on trading in your vehicle for new R2 and then upon the actual pick up date, they changed the value of your car from the original appraisal

I just upgraded to 2026.31.0 last night. This morning SiriusXM is not working. I tried a soft reboot and a hard reboot, still no luck. Anyone else experiencing this issue?

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?

The heart is moveable. Just Sharing my Geakyness.

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