Rivian Delays Kick Turn and RAD Tuner Features Until End of Year

Rivian’s Kick Turn and RAD Tuner features are still missing in action. When the 2026 R1T and R1S launched back in June, Rivian showed off two exciting new capabilities: Kick Turn, which lets the truck pivot almost in place on loose surfaces, and RAD Tuner, a built-in real-time tuning system for suspension and drive dynamics.

Even the top-performance models still manage a 10%+ footprint reduction while adding up to 190…

Storm Blue R1S Quad Launch Edition Sold Out, R1T Inventory Low

The Storm Blue R1S Quad Launch Edition has officially sold out. If you’re hoping to lock in that color on a Launch Edition, you’re out of luck. The R1T Quad Launch Edition in Storm Blue still has a few units left, but inventory is running low.
