Rivian shared a couple of new details on its Autonomy Early Access Program today, confirming the sign-up tile is reaching eligible owners on a rolling basis that started October 15 and that interest from owners outside California and Florida will help decide which states get Point to Point next.
If you checked your Rivian.com account yesterday and didn’t see the Autonomy Early Access tile, that’s expected. Rivian is rolling it out gradually, so it may take some time to show up even if you have a Gen 2 R1 or R2 with an active Autonomy+ subscription. The tile also only appears on the primary owner’s account, so a secondary driver logging in won’t see it.
California and Florida are still the only launch states, but Rivian wants owners everywhere to express interest through the tile because those sign-ups help it pick where to expand. Canadian owners remain ineligible for now.
That makes signing up worth it even if you aren’t in one of the first two states. I covered the full program details yesterday, including the weekly testing, monthly surveys and NDA, but expressing interest doesn’t lock you into any of that. You only commit once you’re selected and sign the Participation Agreement, and you can still decline at that point.
If you want Point to Point before the broad 2027 rollout, putting your interest in now is the easiest way to get your state on Rivian’s radar. My R1S is in Florida, so I’ll be watching for the tile on my account and I’ll share more with you all as soon as it shows up.
if they’re inviting specific people to express their interest, then they’re still deciding where it will launch, no?
Yeah this is very confusing. What is the difference between expressing interest and signing up?
It does not appear that just anyone can “express interest “
I can’t seem to see the tile. How do I navigate to it?
Still have zero interest in watching a computer drive my Rivian. I want to drive my Rivian.
Still waiting for the invite on my Gen 1 R1 🤪
“interest from owners outside California and Florida will help decide which states get Point to Point next”
So much for those of us in flyover country . . . .
Jose, can you share if you get it? I guess if you get an email you need to sign an NDA. Not sure how rough the NDA is.
“Rivian Says Early Access Interest Will Decide Where Point to Point Expands Next”
“confirming the sign-up tile is reaching eligible owners”
“Rivian wants owners everywhere to express interest through the tile because those sign-ups help it pick where to expand.”
This makes no sense. You say that Rivian is deciding who gets the sign-up tile, and that the only way to express interest is through the sign-up tile (that Rivian decides if you get or not), so isn’t Rivian deciding where it’s going to expand? There is no other way for people who haven’t been invited to express interest, at least not that you’ve mentioned in this article/post.
Reading is tough for some of y’all, huh? They’re gradually rolling out sending out the sign up tiles. Drivers in CA and FL that click it will be signing up for an active chance at a program that is definitely coming to their states. Those that are outside of those states can use the same tile to “sign up” but they will just be expressing interest for their state.
The gradual rollout likely isn’t based on geography but rather VIN or delivery date. So no, they aren’t effectively choosing the next locations. Rivian isn’t “deciding who gets the tiles” so much as they are deciding who gets the tiles first.
Everybody with an eligible vehicle WILL get a tile, but they might not all be present NOW.
Hope this helps..
