DIY Dog Mode Sign for My Rivian R1S: Not Looking Bad At All

Rivian PAAK Tip: What to Do in Poor Cell Service Areas

Last night, when I reached my Rivian truck after work, my iPhone displayed a message. I captured a screenshot to show what happens if you avoid signing back into the app. The Phone as a Key (PAAK) feature still works without logging in again. If you're in an area with poor cell service, don’t try to sign in. Instead, keep using the app and PAAK until you’re somewhere with a good signal and can access your password. The screen’s text explains this, but some users still get confused. This is a quick tip for PAAK users to avoid trouble.

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. I totally get why it might look bad, but it’s never been much of a big deal since my dogs are safe and cool inside.

In other to avoid sotuations like this, I decided to fix this by making a colorful, tough sign with my 3D printer to show my dogs are okay, just for the fun of it. If anyone wants a pair, I can mail them with suction cups for $10 for two, plus $6 shipping. Anyone interested, please feel free to let me know.
