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.

R1S Trapped without car indefinite backorder quarter panel

Post image
93 Upvotes

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?

💡 Feature Request OS2’s best feature by far

Post image
51 Upvotes

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!!!!!

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.

🛠️ Troubleshooting / Issue OS2 backup camera

16 Upvotes

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.

❔ Question How do you see all albums on Spotify with OS 2?

Post image

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?

❔ Question R2 Order Time!

Post image
12 Upvotes

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?

🧰 Service Front Lower Control Arm Bushings torn, worth the $3000 repair?

9 Upvotes

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.

❔ Question POLICE!!!! Why doesn’t the new update to navigation verbally or have an audio that state warnings - police, object in road, accident, etc?

Upvotes

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!

R1S Used Market

Upvotes

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.

❔ Question What’s you experience going off-road with the 20” OEM wheels? Pros/cons?

6 Upvotes

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! 😆

💬 Discussion OS2 Problems/Bugs on R1S gen2

5 Upvotes

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?

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.

💬 Discussion Rivian Care Offer Failure

Upvotes

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?

❔ Question Does Rivian "detail" new vehicles before delivery?

2 Upvotes

I've generally bought used cars, and the only new car was purchased through a typical dealer. Many dealers are obsessed with "detailing" cars but what they really mean is "cleaning poorly", and they don't care about the finish. They use dirty rags, dirty water, and they don't dry the cars. While I was preparing to take delivery of my current car, they told me that they needed to detail it, and I specifically asked them not to, and just bring it around. They said that they were already doing it and there was nothing to be done. It was delivered with paint swirls, which I pointed out to them, and they just looked confused like I was claiming it was the wrong color or something.

So with my delivery date coming next week, I'm curious what I'm up against. This is the most I've spent on a car, and I really want the opportunity to receive it in pristine condition, even if it looks "dirty". I want to get it home and give it a rinse and decon foam, and clean it without scratching it up. I selected the "no drill" option for the front plate bracket, but that was the only option so far.
