Hands-On with Rivian App v3: What’s New and What’s Next

Rivian just released version 3 of their mobile app, and it’s a big upgrade. The whole design feels cleaner and easier to use. There’s better use of space, more thoughtful colors, and key features are easier to find. It’s clear Rivian listened to user feedback when putting this together. This update also sets the stage for more improvements down the road—especially for new owners going through delivery and setup. But it’s not just about current owners—v3 also starts building the…

RivianTrackr Hangouts Episode 5: Christian Selig Talks R1S, Tesla, and EV Life in Canada

In this episode of RivianTrackr Hangouts, I chat with iOS developer Christian Selig — creator of the beloved Apollo app for Reddit and Pixel Pals. Christian lives all the way out in Nova Scotia, where Rivian doesn’t officially sell vehicles, but that didn’t stop him from getting an R1S. We talk about the long road (literally) to owning his Rivian, what it was like transitioning from a 2018 Tesla Model 3, and what EV charging infrastructure looks like in eastern…

We talk about what she likes, what drives her nuts, and how it compares to the other EVs she’s experienced. Spoiler: her take is refreshingly real and not full of car jargon.

RivianTrackr Hangouts Episode 4: Kyle Conner Talks R1T, R2, and the EV Landscape Ahead

In this episode of RivianTrackr Hangouts, I sit down with my good friend Kyle Conner from Out of Spec to talk all things EV. Kyle shares how he ended up with his Rivian R1T, why he considers it the best vehicle he’s ever owned, and why he’s already sending his Cybertruck back to Tesla. We also dive into his thoughts on the upcoming Rivian R2, where the EV industry is headed, and how the current political landscape could impact the…

Rivian’s Upcoming Orlando Service Center Is Taking Shape

I took a trip to the upcoming Rivian Service Center in Orlando after spotting permit activity—and it’s looking promising. This new location will be much larger than Rivian’s existing service footprint in Central Florida and should help expand appointment availability, especially as we gear up for the R2 launch in 2026. While construction is still underway inside, I walk you through an exterior tour of the site and what to expect. The facility is expected to open in the coming…
