What the Rivian app is for
The Rivian app is a companion for owners of the R1T and R1S. It covers taking delivery of the vehicle, day-to-day control of it, charging, and getting help when something needs attention.
Its features are tied to those two vehicles, so the people it fits are owners who already have an R1T or R1S. The listing presents it as one place to handle most of the ownership tasks that would otherwise go through several channels.
Using your phone as a car key
The app can act as the key for an R1T or R1S, so the phone replaces a physical key for getting in. It can also lock and unlock the vehicle from a distance.
Before you get in, you can warm up or cool the vehicle from the app. The listing presents this as a way to have the vehicle at a comfortable temperature when you arrive.
Planning trips and finding chargers
Trip planning suggests routes and charging stops based on preferences you set. The map search looks up points of interest and nearby chargers, and any destination you find can be sent to the vehicle.
These features are meant to be used together. You can find a charger on the map, check it against a planned route, and send the stop to the car without typing the address into it.
Charging at home and checking range
The app shows the vehicle's current range and charging status. It also manages charging sessions and connects with a home Rivian Wall Charger.
Owners who charge at home can check progress and status from the app rather than at the wall unit. The listing does not describe how the charger connection is set up.
Service requests, support and software updates
You can request vehicle service and roadside assistance, then track those requests in the app. The app also connects you with the Rivian support team to ask questions and troubleshoot.
Available vehicle software updates can be started from the app, and accepting delivery of the vehicle is handled there too. The listing does not say what each update changes.
