Rivian is adding a dedicated battery health screen via OTA, giving owners a direct look at state of health, max potential charge rate, and current charge rate, all from the About screen in vehicle settings, no service appointment needed.
After 2,000+ miles on the Hankook iON HT, I’m ready to call it… this might be the best all-around tire for most…
Rivian's R2 EPA certification documents are in, and the range numbers actually beat the company's own estimates. The Performance trim with 21-inch All-Seasons hit 335 miles certified, topping Rivian's projected 330. All-Terrains drop it to 314. The Large pack carries 86.8 kWh of usable capacity with 210 kW DC fast charging. Employee deliveries start this month, so real-world impressions aren't far off.
Rivian's 2026.07 brings a handful of useful changes for R1T and R1S owners. The highlight: Rear Defrost now automatically activates the front wiper heating element too. Apple Music gets Dolby Audio support and a new Streaming Quality setting to reduce buffering. Gen 2 owners also get a fix for inconsistent range estimates and reduced highway steering wheel vibrations.
Rivian dropped its Q1 2026 numbers and the headline is simple: 10,365 deliveries, 20% more than this time last year. In a quarter where basically every automaker is down, that's a genuinely good result. But the more fun story is what happened to Ford. Their EV sales cratered 70%, falling from 22,550 units a year ago to just 6,860, and suddenly Rivian is outselling them in electric vehicles. That's not a sentence I expected to write in 2026.
Rivian updated the Gear Shop today with a solid batch of new accessories from EV Sportline, BuiltRight Industries, and Dometic, plus two new off-road readiness bundles for anyone who likes to venture off the beaten path. There's something in here for pretty much every type of R1 owner.
Rivian reported 10,365 deliveries and 10,236 vehicles produced in Q1 2026, with the company reaffirming its full-year guidance of 62,000 to 67,000 deliveries. No surprises, no misses, just a steady quarter heading into what should be a pivotal year for the brand.
The RivianTrackr Tire Guide now pulls real-world efficiency data directly from Rivian Roamer, which means the more owners who have their tire setup correctly configured, the better the data gets for everyone. Getting set up only takes a couple of minutes, and while you're at it, you can also leave a review for your current tires to help other Rivian owners who are shopping for new ones.
While the autonomous vehicle industry chases robotaxis, the ALSO-DoorDash partnership makes the case that last-mile delivery might be the more interesting problem to solve, and that the right structure for cracking it is an operator and a builder committing to each other early.
ALSO has secured a strategic investment from DoorDash, along with a multi-year commercial agreement to deploy their small autonomous EVs at scale, giving the startup a real-world proving ground for last-mile delivery.
