2025.06.01 Update: Bummer Gen 1 Rivian Vehicles are Missing out on Vehicle Ahead Moving Chime

On Tuesday, I went to open the frunk via the button in the bumper but instead the button popped out of whatever clip it's supposed to be held in. The rubber cover over the button is intact. Opened a service ticket just to find out the closest date available was late May. Yikes! It's not a critical issue of course as I can still use the key fob, phone or screen inside the truck to open it but I would love to have it fixed. I live a bit far from a service center and since I would rather not drive that far I opened a chat request to see if they could do a mobile service. No resolution yet on if they will go the mobile route but I found it funny that they requested a video of the issue, so i sent them a video of me filming the underside of the bumper looking at the rubber cover, pressing up and yep the frunk doesn't open, much good info to be gleamed from that. Service really is such an area that needs vastly more resources applied to it if they seem fully booked.

I’m already resigned that Gen 1 owners are going to miss a lot of the new features, and I understand the limitations of the camera quality and processors, but one feature I was hoping to test on 2025.06.01 was the vehicle ahead moving chime.

I’m really bummed they couldn’t find a way to make that feature work on Gen 1 cameras and sensors. Some old low tech vehicles have that for years, and I find it really useful. Probably if a lot of Gen 1 owners complain about missing out on the feature, something could be done about it.
