A few nights ago, I was driving our Gen 2 R1S Dual Max, and saw conserve mode was available, this isn’t usual so I was intrigued, thought it was maybe part of an update, I tapped it. Since then, I cannot change the drive mode, all selections are blank, and the powertrain menu is very blank, just shows power distribution, the car is stuck in conserve mode, quite slow and FWD only. Don’t know why conserve mode isn’t officially available on dual motors cause it sure as hell works, but now I can’t get out of it!​
I’ve heard about this issue twice on this forum but regarding sport mode, and one similar case on Reddit with conserve mode like me, I wish I was stuck in sport mode! It seems like an issue with the holiday update since all posts about this are recent so if anyone from Rivian is reading this please look into it!​
I’ve done the two steering wheel button reset, the steering wheel button + hazard reset, all multiple times (waited an hour between the hazard resets), and I’ve let the vehicle sleep, absolutely nothing has fixed it, the car is stuck in this mode.​
Contacted Rivian service about it but quite frankly don’t want to deal with going to a service center for this, is there any DIY solution anybody has found? Or can it be fixed remotely by Rivian?​
Love the car but this is annoying!​

Give Rivian Support a call, they might try something on the phone with you or a mobile service appointment.

If you already have done multiple resets and still doesn't work, I don't think there's much more you can do on your side.

Work with Rivian support. A SC appointment may not be necessary. But if it is, you just gotta do it. Conserve mode in Duals is supposed to be automatic and not user selectable. Drive well.

Complete guess here but it seems like a module was updated incorrectly during the last update.

Dual doesn’t have conserve and so you shouldn’t be seeing that option as you may already be aware.

Submit service request ASAP. These requests can sometimes be resolved remotely via an OTA hotfox or mobile might be able to manually update the module.

I had the exact the same thing happen in R1S standard today. Conserve mode popped up, I pressed it and now it’s stuck in that mode.
Spoke to Rivian and did a hard restart but still no luck.

I’ve heard about this issue now multiple times all in a time frame of a month or so, which is how long the holiday update has been out, I think it’s an issue with this update. They need to fix it!

I’ve been crazy busy so I cant call Rivian service yet

I also noticed the gauges disappear in my view. The drive train shows up but all of the other assets are gone - compass, battery temp, motor temp, etc

Yup. Same case for me. Let me know if you’ve figured anything out. Going to call Rivian service tomorrow.

But seriously, it does sound like a bug that is allowing you to select it in the first place, and then you get stuck in the Twilight Zone since you are not supposed to be there in the first place. This is not an issue that an SC is likely to fix. This smells of a software update, with perhaps a pushed hotfix to get you out of the Twilight Zone. As others have said, contact Rivian support directly and make some noise about the vehicle being "unusable".

The trailer light fix is brilliant! My buddy had the issue with is Gen 2 R1S and it was in the Malvern service center for a week before they could fix it. Would of been a hell of a lot easier for him to have just hooked up to the boat trailer in my driveway!

I thought I was the only one! This happened to me and they had me take it to a SC to fix. Unrelated, right before my SC appointment my heat pump died. 7 days over a weekend at the SC to fix. Happy to have it back and have my drive modes again

I’ll tell the SC guys about this fix on Friday. Thinking about how twilight modes can appear. Could this be a hardware issue like a loose or faulty connection that makes the truck think it has a mode that it doesn’t have?

Ugh, this just happened to me today too—wondered what Conserve mode was there for, now no modes are available.
If you have access to a trailer you might wanna try this workaround...
