Rivian is rolling out update 2026.36 for its vehicles, adding Pet Cam to the R2 for live cabin video streaming and the Rivian Voice Assistant, while R1T and R1S models receive remote control of Pet Mode without camera streaming.
Rivian delivered approximately 19,248 vehicles in the third quarter of 2026, an increase of 58% quarter over quarter, keeping it on track to meet its annual target despite slowing growth in the U.S. electric vehicle market. The start of R2 production, currently available only in the higher-priced Performance trim, appears to be playing a key role in this improvement.
