Vehicle connectivity is a core feature of Rivian vehicles. If you choose to disable all vehicle connectivity, it will prevent data from leaving the vehicle, but it will also limit or disable certain functionality in the vehicle (e.g., navigation, lane keeping assistance, and over-the-air updates, which provide new features, better performance, safety enhancements, and bug fixes).
To disable all cellular connectivity of the vehicle in Canadian vehicles, use the toggle in the “Data and Privacy” screen of the vehicle’s Settings menu. For non-Canadian vehicles, you may reach out to Rivian Service to request that we disable the eSIM card in the vehicle through a service appointment. Note that disabling connectivity will have no impact on any Rivian subscriptions you may have (e.g., Connect+) -- those will need to be cancelled separately.
Back when I had my Tesla, Autopilot was great in bumper to bumper traffic for that exact reason. Didn’t have to focus on creeping forward 2 feet at a time, didn’t have to worry about brakes vs acceleration, just let the car inch itself along behind the car in front.
When it was totally stopped on a temporarily closed highway for an hour, Netflix was great too. And A/C without burning a ton of fuel sitting there.
