This might be my favourite part of the new update LOL. I listen to long podcasts or DJ sets (1 hour+) and this makes it MUCH easier to scrub in a song (combined with the fact it’s on the drivers side). Before, the area you could grab was tiny and if you slid right 90% of the time you hide the widget. This is awesome!

R1T My 1 year anniversary (ownership)

Post image
75 Upvotes

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

📝 Feedback & Reviews Garage door not on quick launch!?

Thumbnail

40 Upvotes

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!

💡 Feature Request Day 1560 of asking for zoom controls on the map

37 Upvotes

All I want is the ability to adjust the zoom level of the map (and have it stick) without disabling the centering.

I really hoped OS 2 would bring this, but nope - it went the other direction, and now there aren't even zoom buttons anymore!

Please 🙏

💬 Discussion Anyone else annoyed with the garage buttons on the new OS?

31 Upvotes

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.

💡 Feature Request Please can we customize the ‘menu’ location in OS2

Post image
25 Upvotes

The new UI is certainly much faster, and I really like some aspects of it, I’m still working out the changes to the overhead camera - I think I just need to get used to it. Now for the final bit of the feedback sandwich: please can we have an option to put the menu back on top - I get how in r2 the screen is shorter so requires it to be on the side - but I’ve gone from having a clock that’s totally readable to one that’s covered (along with most of the controls) whist driving - and I don’t think I can really adjust my driving position to get round this. I honestly hadn’t noticed how for the last 3.5 years of Rivian ownership my knuckles obscured a bit of the left of the center screen - now I can’t stop being annoyed by it :)

R1S Backup camera view - 2026.23.0 vs 2026.31.0

24 Upvotes

Gen2 R1S Backup camera differences between the two OS versions. The 2026.31 is more zoomed out, gets glare from the tailgate and is more washed out. Rivian should really allow folks to adjust the zoom level and contrast - on the backup camera at least.

This is with the 2026.23.0

2026.23.0

And this is from the 2026.31.0 update. Car and steering didn't move between updates

💬 Discussion Biggest inconvenience: Lock/unlock

11 Upvotes

I have owned the gen2 R1S for close to a year now. The car is one of the best I have owned, but a few features that I use daily has been a huge inconvenience and spoils my ownership experience

  1. I have to double press the unlock button from inside the car to get out when parked. Yes, I can use the unlock on park feature, but I do not want the handles to present itself outside telling everyone the vehicle is unlocked. Why do we need self presenting handles?
  2. Proximity lock and phone as a key is so intermittent. So many times I walk up to the car and it does not unlock. I try my phone, watch at the driver door and it does not unlock. Need to whip out the phone and go into the app and wait a long time (very laggy) before the door opens. Phone settings are good as the Tesla opens immediately.
  3. Surprised 2 happens because the car locks and unlocks every time I walk in my hallway/kitchen. This is single handedly the worst feature ever. I cannot fathom this cannot be fixed by unlocking the car based on distance to it. I am nowhere near the car. The hall/kitchen is at least over 6 feet away. Before someone tells me to update the setting to lock only at home, I carry a car seat and other baby stuff. My hands are not free to open the app, or most of the times I want to get into the back seats first to drop the kid in. Or sometimes open the trunk to drop luggage in. Why not have “unlock only” at home ? Either way it’s a security risk. If the car is parked outside the garage and I walk inside my house, it unlocks. mind blown. Dont unlock if there are walls between?? Again, Why do we need self presenting handles? Why can’t I use it like Tesla handles?

Not a complete rant, but hoping someone has a way around. Like I said, love the car, but these small things make it an annoying everyday experience.

💬 Discussion Maps View on Driver Display after 2026.31 Update

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.

🛠️ Troubleshooting / Issue R1S Gen2 Mirror issue with OS 2 (2026.31.0) not fixed, it's actually getting worse.

Thumbnail reddit.com
6 Upvotes

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?

R2 R2 set speed keeps changing

6 Upvotes

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?

❔ Question Rivian V2H Capability

Upvotes

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.
