alt Hacker NewsRivian’s software is pretty good. Often key fobs don’t work, but generally it is better than most cars except for Tesla.
The hardware is another story. My R1S was a hunk of junk. It was the worst experience I’ve ever had with a car and I will never consider another Rivian.

This is part of why VW now contracts Rivian for their user-facing software after their own in-house software daughter company failed.
Bad timing though, in an age where talking about software sovereignty is all the rage.

The app’s ability to do complex things like opening the frunk is extremely poor, to say the least.
What was wrong with your R1S?
I had an R1T Launch Edition for a little over a year and it was hands down one of the best cars I’ve ever owned. The only issue I had was with the fob proximity sensor. The only reason I sold it was it was a bit too big for me.
