A couple weeks ago, both NFC key cards stopped working. Then last weekend, both my wife’s and my Phone-as-key suddenly stopped working as well, so now we’re down to the key fob as the only working access method (and heading out on a road trip tomorrow, nervous AF about it). I’ve had service issues open for about a week but Rivian is not giving me much confidence that they have a handle on the issues. They had me walk through a thorough un-pair/reset/re-pair procedure for the phone keys but it was not successful (times out pairing new phone key). I’ll post updated when I have them, but I’m not feeling like this is a great ownership experience right now or that this is a reliable vehicles. I’m simply baffled why they felt the need to make the keys overly complex like this when this was a solved problem with legacy cars.
To add insult to injury, the trim on top of the tailgate fell off while unloading a box from the bed and won’t stay on and the power tonneau cover is failing. Feeling a tinge of buyer’s remorse, this thing has too much gimmicky Tesla DNA and not enough KISS toughness.
