Context for my story - I have my R1S set to "Lock Only" at home. So in the morning I have to use the touch sensor on the door handle to unlock. It works like 50% of the time. The rest of the time I have to push the unlock button on the app. One morning when the touch sensor decided it was too...
A few days ago I had this dreaded message pop up on my dash and I've been doing lots of reading up on it. Have any other Gen 2 owners had this issue?
For a bit of context, I have no restrictions on any functionality. I can change drive modes, ride height, stiffness etc. The only sign anything...
Before I get into anything - DO NOT MAKE THIS POLITICAL
This is not a forum for politics - if you discuss politics the mods will lock this thread and then everyone loses. So don't do it
So on to the topic of discussion:
More and more I've been seeing commentary from Tesla owners wanting to...
Looking at one of these for my gen 2 - but not sure how this works

For gen 1 it used a fuse tap. But from what I understand gen 2 uses e-fuses. So...
Been seeing this ad on Instagram lately. Really pretty photo.... But the guy is in park driving real fast down the road. Gave me a good laugh
So naturally I had Chat GPT roast it too. Also very funny
Here are some roast-style comments for you:

1. "Rivian really out here redefining the...
Just wanna show a little love to all the Utah residents out there.
What an amazing place to live where you can see THIS in your blind spot Camera ?
Thanks Rivian for giving us the mountain admiration cam!
It's fairly well known that limiting the time your battery spends at high states of charge is best for battery health (thus the 70% daily limit).
When I go on a road trip I try to take that into account and set the vehicle to finish charging within an hour of my intended departure time.
The...
I decided to lean in to the car costume, and set up the lighting on my house to match! Every 30 minutes the video playing on the garage and the house lighting automatically changed between KITT theme and Back to the Future. (I had to manually change the Rivian to match).
It was quite the fun...
There is a big deal made at lunch with Gen 2 about using UWB for the key instead of relying on Bluetooth. It was supposed to be supported on pixel, iphone, and Apple watch. But not a word has been mentioned about it since. As far as I can tell there's next to nothing in the owner's manual, and...
I've been having an anoying bug with HVAC on my Gen 2 R1S. When I go to remotely turn on climate control from the app, more often than not I see this error message:
So apparently I have ghosts occupying the vehicle!
But here's the weird part. If I wake the vehicle (for example by venting the...
I've been having this very strange issue where while the vehicle is locked and asleep, half of the time the app won't let me turn on the climate.
It says:
No weight on any of the seats, no seatbelts buckled. I know the car knows it's unoccupied because it WILL go to sleep immediately when I...
Does anyone know of an aftermarket compact spare that is available for the R1S? The first party Rivian spare is eternally out of stock, and I am having a very hard time finding any other options online. Lots of discussion about full size spares, but next to nothing on the compact that I can find.
I've been having a strange (but very minor) issue with my Gen 2 R1S where the driver's screen visualization will only show 1 car, the car directly in front of me in my own lane. I've tried doing an infotainment reset (often called on this forum a soft reset) as well as a full vehicle reset...
Haven't seen anyone else post a video of it, so I figured I would, but the dynamic matrix lights on the Gen 2 are super cool. Not only do they cut a notch out of your light pattern for oncoming traffic, but they also animate the high beams on and off!
EDIT
Here's that video promised of the...
On my driver's display, it is only displaying the lead vehicle, and the landlines. All other vehicles are not showing. Has anyone else had this issue?
It has been happening for me intermittently, but today it hasn't worked at all. I've tried both on infotainment reboot as well as a complete...
I've noticed an occasional bug on my Gen 2 where the driver display does not show all the vehicles around. It only shows the lead vehicle and lane markings.
It seems kind of random when it works or doesn't work. If it isn't working it often will begin working after the vehicle has been asleep...
