Last night, I found that my Rivian R1S driver’s side front door is missing a bolt in the upper hinge. I don’t know if it was never there or got lost after they fixed my door pocket and Bluetooth module at the shop 3 weeks ago. The door’s quiet now, but I want to replace the bolt to be safe...

Ever since my Rivian R1S got the 2025.10.30 update, my Alexa has been working fine until 2 days ago when I noticed that ny Alexa’s voice is super quiet. The chimes are fine, but I have to crank the volume to hear her, which makes the music way too loud. I tried a soft reset, logging out and back...

After my Clearplex windshield film wore out in just three months, I’ve been searching for a better option for my Rivian R1S. I found a DIY windshield protection film online and reached out to two sellers who offer it for Rivian windshields. Has anyone tried this DIY windshield protection film? I...

In January, I had Clearplex film put on my Rivian R1S windshield to protect it from scratches. Now, there’s a worn spot near the driver’s side pillar, likely from the wiper rubbing it. The rest looks okay, no bubbles or issues. I’m upset because I didn’t know it would wear out so fast. If I’d...

I hadn’t thought much about the Rivian app’s charger filter until recently, but it’s starting to get a bit frustrating. In version 3.0 on my iPhone, I can’t select all charging speeds at once—I have to pick them one by one. It’s tiring when I’m in a hurry and just need to find any charger...

About a month ago, I noticed an irritating rattle coming from the ceiling above the passenger seat in my Rivian R1S. It started after I had the rear window replaced because it had come loose and was making a loud buzzing noise. The service team replaced the top trim of my truck to fix the window...

Don't know if it's just me, but a couple of times, I’ve walked out of Costco to find notes on my Rivian’s windshield, scolding me for leaving my dog in a “hot car.” My Tesla Model Y has a clear Dog Mode screen that everyone can see, but the Rivian’s setup isn’t as obvious, so people get worried...

After my friend’s dog got out of his locked Rivian last week, I decided to check why it happened. I was surprised to discover that the driver’s door window buttons can roll down any window, even with the Window Lock on, which only stops the three passenger window switches from working. Pet...

Last weekend, I hit 40,000 miles on my Rivian and decided to test how much battery capacity it still has. I drained the battery to 0%, with just 1 mile of range left, then charged it all the way to 100%. I was shocked to see it only lost about 1 kWh since it was new. At 20,000 miles, the vehicle...

I can't really tell if it was the latest update that caused this issue with my Rivian R1S. A few days after I updated my Rivian software to the latest version, my R1S locked and unlocked every time I passed by the garage, which was kind of strange at first. I looked for the proximity lock...

Hey, has anyone else noticed how the full-size buttons on Rivian’s control screen make you scroll way more than needed? I get that it’s probably their design vibe, but it feels clunky when you’re just trying to tap something quick. If they switched to smaller, half-width buttons with the...

I’ve been thinking about this for a while and I felt this might be the right time to share my thoughts. When a Rivian vehicle shifts into park, the left-side drawer on the screen pops out automatically, but its buttons should require a two-second hold to activate instead of a single tap. This...

I’ve been using seat cooling a lot lately and I thought the last setting I picked, would stay on the main screen, but every time I get in, it shows the seat warmer icon instead. I have to tap it, then switch to cooling, which is a bit of a lengthy process. Does anyone know if there’s a way to...

The upcoming Rivian software update, version 2025.14, is still being tested but brings exciting features for owners to enhance our driving experience. Here are a few things coming with the new update: 1. Spotify DJ: AI creates personalized music playlists for your drives. 2. Driver Assistance...

For new Rivian owners looking to use all-terrain mode, choosing between 22-inch sport wheels and 20-inch all-terrain tires comes down to comfort and off-road performance. The 22-inch wheels look sleek but can feel stiff, especially on bumpy roads, even when you set the suspension to soft in...
