Rivian is adding real time Waze alerts to R1 and R2 navigation, starting with speed cameras and police reports in the 2026.31 OTA. It is the same update bringing RivianOS 2.0 to R1, and the screenshot Wassym shared hints at something else worth noticing.
Rivian service is contacting select R2 owners to inspect the DC fast charging connector-to-header joint for gap and thermal abnormalities, and is recommending owners hold off on DC fast charging until the inspection is done. Nothing has been filed with NHTSA.
RivianOS 2.0 is coming to the R1T and R1S with the 2026.31 OTA update, and both Gen 1 and Gen 2 vehicles are included. Wassym Bensaid confirmed the rollout on X after we reported an employee image of a Gen 1 R1T already running the new software.
Rivian and iKamper have introduced the Skycamp 4.0 DLX, adding a three-person Trio size sized for the R1S and R2. Pricing starts at $4,800 for the Duo and $5,050 for the Trio.
R2 buyers are beginning to order Forest Green paint and the Coastal Cloud Signature interior, with owners reporting successful orders and delivery estimates of eight to twelve weeks. Borealis remains on track for September.
The R2 comes with up to eight drive modes, and how many you get depends entirely on your trim. Rivian also gave me the specifics on what Conserve actually changes on this platform, which works nothing like it does on the R1. Here is every mode, what it does, and which trims get it.
The 2027 R1T and R1S arrive with captain's chairs, Esker Silver, and R2 style trim names, ordering open the same day. A front turn signal recall expands to 3,829 more vehicles, point to point gets a 2027 target, and Adventure Network places third at JD Power.
Point to point assisted driving starts a limited rollout later this year, and Rivian is aiming for a broad customer rollout in 2027. Here is what the company said, and what it still has not said.
Rivian has introduced the 2027 R1T and R1S. The R1S gets second row captain's chairs for the first time, Esker Silver replaces LA Silver, and the trim names move from Dual, Tri, and Quad to Premium, Performance, and Quad to match R2. Here is what changed and what everything costs.
Rivian has expanded its front turn signal recall to cover an additional 3,829 R1S and R1T vehicles from the 2025 and 2026 model years. The campaign is listed as NHTSA 26V-508 and Rivian FSAM-1833, with the remedy already available.
