Although the issue has been resolved, I just had to post this here cause I was curious if anyone else has ran into this issue. I've owned the 2025 R1S dual max for over a month now and I've loved every bit of driving it so far.
I haven't had really any issues except for my older model Tesla charger in compatibly mode forces me to stop/start charging as the first charge start always fails, so that means scheduling charging doesn't really work. This in of itself is not a Rivian specific issue as it's plauging our Model 3 as well.
Back to the problem at hand: On Monday, I was running around the neighborhood doing Christmas things when all of a sudden, the Rivian would not move and I could not get out of the car. Out of anxiety, I forgot about the emergency handle.
Essentially half the car down the middle was non responsive, which is a weird statement in itself. All the physical buttons on the driver's side no longer worked, the driver side headlights were out while the passenger side worked fine. All those buttons not working meant I could not hard or soft reset as the steering wheel buttons were also non responsible.
After some reading I decided to try and jump the car via this back hitch access, and it magically started working again. Support was super nice and had a tow scheduled but after I got it jumped I had them cancel it. I'm now scheduled to drop it off at the Service center by the end of next week. I am hoping it's just a 12V battery issue but seems strange for a car with less than 2k miles on it.
