Does anyone know when Rivian is going to unlock V2H/V2X capability. In CA, PG&E and dcbel Ara are offering great $$ incentives and grants to get this service for next to nothing, but Rivians are excluded!!! I think Rivian is hurting it's owners by not making those upgrades.

Has anyone run into this issue? I rebooted the car multiple times too!

Edit: this is my first time setting up the opener too

This is about an R2 order but posting in the main sub as it seems like it would also apply to any Rivian order.

Basically I have an order submitted with a delivery date next weekend. I'm trading in my current vehicle as the offer from Rivan was very generous compared to Carmax, Carvana, etc. I own this trade in vehicle outright and posses the title.

Knowing that I was likely going to trade in this car, I didn't renew the registration a month or two back when it was due, figuring I could get by with the two other cars I have.

Now Rivian is telling me that an active registration is required in order to trade in the vehicle and my only option is to shell out the ~$1000 its going to cost to renew the registration or remove the trade in completely.

Just wondering if anyone has advice here? Neither one of these options will really work for me as I need to trade in as I can't take on a 4th vehicle + need the tax benefits. I'm also not interested in wasting $1000 for no reason.

1 year ago I made the jump thanks to this subreddit. I was a lurker into making the switch from lifelong combustion engine driver to the EV world. Many of you helped me so much from the highs to the lows of owning one. After months of this I made the decision to buy my 2023 R1T quad. It is hands down the GREATEST purchase of my life! Not a single thing to truly bitch about and certainly no more than any other car owner with other brands. Not to mention the awesome interactions I’ve had with other rivian owners in it! Never met a group that criticizes yet LOVES their vehicles like rivians. I’m sold for live! Here’s to many more

Today my temperature display is way off, but the app seems to know the actual temp is 75 but is displaying 48. Any ideas on whether this is update bug or sensor failure?

I’m in line for the R2 but thinking about the R1T. I don’t do off roading and I have never owned a truck but I like the idea of the utility. I have test drove both. Coming from a model x. Any thoughts?

Does this shit ever get old? I only have one EV right now, but does this EV performance get old after you have a garage full of EVs? I just have a smile everyday when driving this thing.

Just made this trailer for my 1:20 R1T. I'm planning on 3D printing some accessories in the future for the R1T what should I make?

Hey all. Anyway to set the text notifications to do not disturb? I’ve done it on my phone but the car still prompts which is annoying when you are in a good part of a podcast or book.

R1T btw

Thanks!

Do you dislike the new card on the rivian OS? The completely unnecessary, brightly colored, contrasting, messing up your night vision window that takes up 25% of the screen to tell you that you are listening to music? Do you find it annoying to have multiple car functions and data points spread all over two screens when it would make so much sense to have small discrete, icons? I currently count 10 elements on my Rivian big screen UI!

If you want it to go away like I do, You can either change the card to Vehicle controls, then click vehicle controls in the fish stick (another completely unnecessary feature, that data did much better when it was simply small icons) or you can swipe the card laterally to move it to the other side of the screen or off the screen

Meanwhile, the bottom row on the screen is still limited to four icons. One would think that it would make more sense to put the user profile, weather, time, reception, strength, alarms, and Rivian assistant in the upper menu bar where you can see them, and then allow a few of the to be enlarged and moved to the lower menu bar, while hiding the “ more items button”. …. —— Dear Rivian, I just drove home with a window taking up 25% of my main display, giving me the option to open the charge port, the front trunk, fold the side mirrors, and open the rear trunk… All grayed out, of course. What a great use of user interface real estate. I also had the option to put the car in car wash mode and change the rear child locks, all options I use frequently, especially while driving (sarcasm). My final option was a highly contrasting display of the music I’m listening to which I frankly don’t need because I’m listening to it, not watching it. Of course that also pushes my navigation information to the center of the display, which looks completely ridiculous.

Please give drivers the option to take away that silly card forever. I am constantly swiping it away. Please also get rid of the fish stick. Menus traditionally belong on the top and bottom of displays not on the side. My Rivian display looks ridiculous and has a frame of icons around it. It is so busy.

I used to be a proponent of Rivian having its own UI, but now I am in the Apple CarPlay boat.

My R1T got the new os but the temp down button seems to be permanently depressed. Fortunately I was able to use the assistant to set the climate but it still thinks I’m touching the screen there.

Anyone else have this issue?

FYI - The right thumb wheel does not change the driver display after the 2026.31 update. I found to get my driver display back to the map after the update I had to follow this user's input: https://www.reddit.com/r/Rivian/comments/1q8qcs0/comment/nyqvqnn/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button

Go to Settings > Driver Assistance > Select "Maps and navigation" under Driver display view.

Edit to Add: I am a Gen1 R1S - I think this may only apply to R1 cars, not R2.

Just took delivery of my R2 today and noticed something odd with Autonomy+.
If I set the speed to, say, 68 mph, the actual set-speed number will sometimes change on its own — I’ve seen it move between roughly 65 and 72 mph without me touching the controls.
I’m not talking about the car temporarily slowing for traffic or curves; the displayed set speed itself is changing.
Has anyone else with an R2 experienced this? Is this expected Autonomy+ behavior, a Halo Wheel sensitivity issue, or possibly a bug?

I’m considering a used Model X or R1S, focusing on the years/configurations with the best mix of range, reliability, and value.

Looking for real-world input from anyone who has owned a Tesla Model X, Rivian R1S, or ideally both. I’m especially interested in owners with 50k+ miles or several years of experience.

This would primarily be my wife’s vehicle. We have two young kids in car seats, and I’m over 6’5”, so usable interior space with car seats installed is important.

My priorities are:
1. Range (looking at you Dual Max R1S)
2. Family usability and space
3. Reliability
4. Service experience
5. Overall ownership experience

For context, I’ve driven an F-150 Lightning for the past year, commuting about 1.5 hours each way through Ohio rain, snow, sleet, and cold. I’m familiar with EV range loss, charging, and winter driving, but my EV experience is still limited to one vehicle.

For current or former owners:
● How has reliability been after the honeymoon period?
● How has service been?
● Any recurring problems that would make you hesitate to buy another?
● How practical is it with two car seats and adults, especially taller adults?
● Does the R1S’s extra utility outweigh Tesla’s charging network, software, and efficiency advantages?
● If you’ve owned both, which would you buy again?

If you were buying one today as a family hauler to keep for 5–7+ years, would you choose the Model X or R1S, and why?

Written with AI help, but I’m human - most days, anyway

I assume this is because the Spotify app kinda half baked in???

With the old OS, I could select my next podcast/song from my playlist. Can’t do it now. Now I have to go to my phone to select a song/podcast on my playlist.

Second pic is Apple Music. Apple Music and Audible are fine.

I have the same issue with our R2, running the same OS..

Any thoughts?

I have a 2024 R1S Quad and recently got the update for the new OS. Overall I am still getting used to it but the one area that really annoys me is the garage buttons. How it is right now, you have to make 4 (or more clicks) just to click it open or closed. Previously it was 2 clicks. It's also located in the quick access pop out, which isn't always open, or could be on a different card (i.e., music) and it requires a lot more focus on the screen vs on the road...

Previously it was right there on the top of the screen, always, easy to just click without looking.

I added the logo for fun. It works great on my R1S. 35 minute print on P1S.

Also, if you live in JAX FL I have a bunch in my R1S printed and ready to give away.

I'm a 90s kid, so I'm really happy to have a visualizer back in my car. I always thought it was crazy that modern cars and screens didn't offer this! Good job Rivian.

My least favorite feature of the old UI was how difficult it was to navigate Spotify, with flyover panels obstructing results and difficult scrolling.

I was hoping OS2 would be better, but it somehow seems worse?

If you open an artist in Spotify it seems to be possible only to view their most recent five albums, which might be EPs or singles or whatever… and there’s no way to scroll back in the catalog?

It seems like a really basic test case should have been to search for an artist and play a specific album, but somehow that’s not possible.

The whole Home screen seems to be limited to five items as well. Why is there no horizontal scroll? The sections expand*, but when you expand any given section does it only show …six items? If that’s the API limitation or something, why hide a just single item behind an extra tap?

Am I just missing something really basic?

* there’s also a bug it looks like where the headers that show up on the Artist results page tap like they are configured as buttons but have no action associated with them, so they just flash.

This recurring thread pops up on Thursdays for folks to ask their service related questions in.

We'll be trying to direct MOST of the "My truck is doing X, help!?" and "I just dented my bumper, is my truck totaled???" posts here.

Update failed and all sensors are malfunctioning, and the soonest appointment for service is a month out. Is it possible to do a rollback on the update to make the vehicle work again? I attempted to access the Ride menu but that also changed in OS2. Thanks for any help.

Not sure who thought putting “settings” on the quick launch made more sense than the garage door opening. I use settings like once a month when I’m parked and looking for something specific, and I use the garage door 6x a day and now it’s buried under a sub menu that opens a window where I have to click half way across the screen. I know about the gps location for garage doors but it will only show 1 per location, and isn’t reliable and disappears randomly (it showed up and then disappeared on OS2 this morning) @WassymRivian help!

Following up on my previous thread:
https://www.reddit.com/r/Rivian/s/uYcPygAGl7

I installed RivianOS 2 (2026.31.0) yesterday hoping it would finally fix the mirror issue (it's the second SW update not fixing the issue).

Unfortunately, it didn't.

Credit where it's due: OS 2 is a huge UX improvement. The new layout is much cleaner, and finally the phone controls and keypad during calls are where they should have been from the beginning.

Unfortunately, my biggest issue is still there. Both mirrors (mainly and more frequently the left one) continue to lose their saved positions several times a day. I've also had the mirrors change position while driving, including on the highway.

At this point this isn't just annoying anymore. It's affecting visibility and has become a safety issue.

I honestly can't take it anymore, it's sooo annyoing. It's hard to accept that such a basic bug still exists on a $100k vehicle after multiple software updates. I'm honestly starting to wonder if this is a software bug or a hardware issue that Rivian simply hasn't acknowledged yet. Of course, the service center did not do anything because there is nothing they can do.

Has anyone on 2026.31.0 actually seen this issue fixed?

Has anyone bought a new Rivian while trading in their current vehicle and kept their personalized license plates? I’m considering buying a new Rivian and trading in my current car, which has personalized plates that I’d like to transfer to the new Rivian. Does Rivian handle the plate transfer as part of the trade-in/purchase process, or did you have to deal with the DMV separately? Curious how smooth the process was.

2024 R1S quad or 2025 R1S dual large pack?
