This post is dedicated to discussing these problems, sharing experiences, and most importantly, finding solutions.
Common Issues
App Connectivity Problems: Many users have found that their Rivian app frequently disconnects or fails to sync with their vehicle. This can prevent access to vital features like remote locking, climate control, and even navigation updates.
Loss of Features: In some instances, users have noticed a sudden loss of online features. This can impact functionalities such as over-the-air updates or streaming services, making the experience less seamless.
Outages: Rivian has faced periods of downtime in their cloud services, leaving many owners frustrated. It’s important to know whether there’s a known outage in your area or if it’s an isolated incident with your vehicle.
Troubleshooting Steps
Here are some steps that might help resolve connectivity issues:
Reboot your vehicle’s touchscreen: Sometimes a simple reboot can solve temporary glitches in the system.
Check your internet connection: Verify if your home Wi-Fi is functioning properly and ensure your Rivian is connected to it.

I’ve been experiencing cloud connection issues since I got my Rivian. It often loses connection, especially when I drive through areas with poor reception. Has anyone else faced this?
I’m in the same boat, Bobby! I noticed it mostly happens during longer trips. I’ve been rebooting the infotainment system, but it’s only a temporary fix.
Have you guys checked if your software is up to date? Sometimes connection issues can stem from outdated software. It’s worth a try if you haven’t already updated.
I had connection issues too at first. I found that toggling the airplane mode on and off helped restore connection temporarily. It’s a bit of a hassle, though.
Anyone else thinking it might be a hardware issue? I spoke to customer service, and they mentioned that some models came with flakier antennas. Just a thought!
I had a good laugh when my car was trying to update its cloud connection while I was parked at a drive-thru! Totally missed my order because I was busy trying to fix a bug. Anyway, good to know I’m not alone!
I wonder if the issues will improve with future updates. I’m holding out hope because I love my Rivian otherwise. Anyone know when the next big update is scheduled?
The lack of a cloud connection can severely limit our Rivian experience. Features like navigation and software updates rely heavily on cloud access. It’s frustrating when you can’t get directions or new features that were promised!
Plus, the remote control capabilities through the app are just pointless without a stable connection. It feels like a step back in technology rather than a forward push.
I think Rivian needs to address this more openly. Users deserve to know how they plan to resolve the cloud connection issues in the future. Transparency is key!
