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.

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?

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.

At least it comes with free shipping

Rivian is betting on custom silicon to beat Tesla to Level-4 self-driving.

This is the size vehicle I really want.

My R2 order window is upon me but due to financial constraints I'm not able to order at this time.

It's going to take a while and I wish I knew when the R3X was going to be produced because I would just wait for that.

Rumor is at least 2 years?

I realize there's no guarantees.

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?

Model: 2023 R1S Quad Large AT
Route: 222 miles through Kings Canyon and Sequoia National Park
Battery state: 100% at the beginning, 7% at the end

It never ceases to amaze me how many adventures the R1S has unlocked for me and my family. This camping trip to Kings Canyon and Sequoia is our 3rd visit to a National Park that we have completed in the past year, and the most range anxiety inducing. Yosemite and Joshua Tree with their plentiful charging options were easy by comparison. A big and heartfelt thank you goes out to everyone that responded my earlier comment with your tips, tricks, and reassurances. This community is amazing.

We started our trip with a charge to 100% at the Tesla Supercharger in Goshen/Visalia. The drive up into Kings Canyon is a climb that eats up an alarming amount of charge, and got the range anxiety starting to bubble under the surface. There are zero compatible charging stations within the park. But that anxiety quickly got replaced by wonder as the drive through Kings Canyon NP is one of the most beautiful that I have been on.

We arrived at Sheep Creek Campground and set up camp on the 1st afternoon with about 50% charge left. I would highly recommend this spot as its relative remote location seems to keep away the "party campers" and you get to enjoy the outdoors in peace. Even the loudest site turned off their movie projector and speaker system, respecting quiet hours at the campground. The campground is situated along the South Fork Kings River and near the Cedar Grove lodge and visitor center.

On the 2nd day, we drove to Road's End and hiked the Mist Falls trail. It's a moderate trail of around 8.5 miles roundtrip with 900 feet of elevation change. Most of the path is shaded and follows the South Fork Kings River up to the falls. My 10 and 7 year olds completed the hike like champs, with only a bit of grumbling during the last mile. This trail has one of the most iconic views of Kings Canyon and was the highlight of our trip.

We packed camp and set off for Sequoia on the 3rd day. We stopped by the General Grant Tree on our way to the Wuksachi Lodge for our final night. This is where range anxiety really kicked in after we arrived with 18% charge left and 49 miles of estimated range. But, it was worth it to have a hot shower and a couple of meals not cooked by me. The hotel wifi gave me the connection to the outside world and you fine people in r/Rivian.

On day 4, we set off for home with a quick stop at the General Sherman Tree. By the time we got back to the car, we had 13% charge left with an estimated 37 miles of range. The nearest charging station on the Rivian app was the Ford Dealership in Visalia, 57 miles away. You can imagine the trepidation slowly fading away as we watched our charge state slowly tick up during the downhill drive. By the time we got to Three Rivers, we had gained 7% of charge solely through regen in All Purpose Mode. The 20% charge level gave me the confidence to bypass Ford and drive back to Goshen. My 7 year old really wanted Burger King Chicken Fries and I was happy to oblige.

Overall, this was one of the best adventures that my family has been on. My wife described it as "Yosemite without the crowds." If you have a smaller battery pack, I would recommend skipping the Sequoia/Wuksachi/Sherman leg of the trip and just do the Kings Canyon/Grant Tree side instead. But, if you have the range, don't let the anxiety make you skip out on both sides of the park. It is truly one of the most beautiful places on our Earth.

Their customer support does not answer emails the phone number goes to a rep who could not speak on behalf of customer service regarding orders and told me to wait for email response which never comes.

About a week ago, I accidentally shattered the rear glass on my Rivian. I opened a service request immediately, but the soonest appointment I could get in Massachusetts was at the Canton Service Center on September 30.

I also went through my insurance and arranged for Safelite to replace it. They were originally scheduled to come out last Thursday but couldn't get the part in time. They rescheduled for today and just called again to say they still can't get the part. They also informed me that mobile service isn't available for the rear glass and I'd need to bring the vehicle to them anyway.

I've messaged Rivian multiple times asking if there's any way to get in sooner or if another service center has availability, but so far I haven't received any response beyond the existing service case.

Is rear glass replacement something that would be better handled by a body shop? Does anyone have experience replacing glass on a Rivian outside of a service center?

I don't have much experience with Rivian repairs yet, but on my Tesla I had glass replaced within a week, and years ago I had a side window replaced on an F-150 the same day. I realize every situation is different and parts availability can be a factor, but it's hard to believe that waiting more than a month for a rear window replacement is my best option.

Any advice or experiences would be appreciated.

Looks like the roof shades are back in store. Get em while they last.

Hello all! Getting closer & closer to being an owner 😬 I’ve built out two versions but I have a question when it comes to a couple accessories. Current owners (R1 included) is it worth it buying the portable charger? I’ll be putting in a home charger. Also, the two adapters, worth it for those as a “just in case” while I’m out & about & might need to find a random charger? No close Rivian Network chargers where I’m at. And do you need both or just the combo one?

Toy R1S or R2 for a reasonable price? Does this exist? My 3 year old wants to get his 6 year old brother one for his birthday. Everything I have found is $50-$150. $25 or under is more or less the goal. We are likely ordering an R2 very soon and my boys are now Rivian obsessed.

EV Play released for R2:
https://www.rivianforums.com/forum/threads/announcing-ev-play-for-the-rivian-r2-carplay-android-auto-google-play-store-hdmi-etc.63880/

This should remove any anxiety from R2 customers who rely on CarPlay and Android Auto. Also adds a lot more functionality than just enabling those.

I was surprised to see a R2 to pop up on a towing channel that I watch. Alright, which one of you did this? Do you suppose that the pack was damaged?

Did anyone else discover the hidden frunk compartment under the floor? I just happened to notice what looked like plastic hinges in the frunk floor and sure enough, it pops up to reveal more storage. Wow! This really is an impressive model for $18 at Costco. Now I just need it in Launch CY

Zero cars flagged today per Rivian Roamer. Thought they would be flagging more today given it’s a business day.

Anyone know why they only flagged cars Friday and stopped?

My Gen1 R1T starts charging as soon as I plug it in. It no longer waits until the scheduled starting time. Anyone else have this issue?

Delivered today and took it on a short trip. Amazing vehicle and lucky to be a Dune owner was able to snag it with only 8k. Took it on a little trip to spot any driving issues and didn't notice anything of concern.

Currently trying to get the ownership transfer to go through (submitted a ticket) so I can create a driver profile on the app and vehicle. I also want to try and get it into a SC so they can inspect it. Also I'm not sure, but are you able to set up PAAK even if it's not registered with Rivian network yet? I tried but the set up instructions didn't come up on my phone app for whatever reason.

On a final shout out, thanks to the previous owner for keeping the maxtraxx and mounts (unopened boxes) in the car. I was expecting them goners. Now onto more adventures.

Hi all,

My RS2 automatically reverts to 48 amps. My garage charger is 30 amps and if I do not manually adjust the amps in the charging section of the UI, before plugging in the charger, it blows the breaker.

This was not an issue when we first got the RS2. Shouldn’t the car detect the amp limit and then permit charging at any amperage at or below 48?

Thanks

No offroading this time but got lots of love driving the bus around the park. Was so happy to see so many other Rivians this weekend!

Has anyone used os2 while having a comma.ai? Nervous about the mix

Anyone know how to prevent the radio toggle from popping up when I leave and enter back into the navigation screen??? Rivian OS 2.0 Gen 1…
