Gear Guard | Meet the tech that protects everything in your R1T

[@ykx3695]

Rivian promo video quality is just top-notch. So satisfying to watch!

[@ejdiamond1000]

Love the editing on this. Most car manufactures would've made this a manual startup style video but Rivian actually made this a really entertaining watch

[@toml3955]

Gear guard is cool, but can we talk about the production quality on this video?!? Bravo Rivian.

[@FluffyGoat91515]

Is R1S Gear Guard similar? How does it differ from R1T? Would also love to see a Gear Guard Dashcam feature.

[@Rivian]

Gear Guard is available on all Electric Adventure Vehicles to protect the things you care about on your adventures! Both models provide a video recording feature and remote monitoring capabilities. In the R1T, a cut-resistant locking cable wraps around gear and plugs into the bed wall to connect directly into the security system to offer additional protection to anything you bring along the way.

[@FluffyGoat91515]

@@Rivian Thank you. What about a Dashcam mode? (Using the cameras to record situations while driving.)

It's great that we get to meet the crew that made the r1t such an amazing truck.

[@TransitAndTeslas]

I love this idea. People will steal the bike right off the truck, but you guys even thought of that! Superb!

[@SammyGeek]

Well done, bravo! Can't wait to take delivery of mine in Q4 (this year)!

[@tamie341]

Lucky! These are damn good cars, really think they are being slept on right now. I'd take the Rivian over Tesla any day

[@V8LC100]

Another fantastic addition to your vehicles. Really keen to see these launch 'down under' in Australia.

[@AchwaqKhalid]

Such system should be a must in every EV

[@Curryolla]

"The Character." Common Rivian, you guys should give him/her/it a name. Gary the Gear Guard Guy! Rebecca the Rivian Recorder. Vivian the Rivian Vehicle Recorder (VRVR).

[@smarterthanyou2674]

They’re too woke for that.

[@tamie341]

It's a sasquatch so squatchy or squatchman would be good!

[@RZZ-1701]

Every owner of a R1T is gifted with freedom to name this fozzy charakter 🐶 individually.

[@artwolfeii]

it’s the Yeti

[@mattebatesco]

This is so friggin cool. And the video production is on point. Love it!

[@pwisc2115]

Super awesome tech and love that brilliant idea of no key or special key code combinations to keep in mind. 😍👏🏼. Just waiting for the chanto go on a test drive on the Rivian SUV. Cheers from Wisconsin!!

[@cameron7889]

I love the gear guard character. But he needs a name! I will name him Bob.

[@dylanvelasquez9869]

What about Gary Gear Guard

[@Azarelius]

You're on to something!

[@woodahl]

Wasn’t that naMe u$ed before?

[@Eric-xp1kl]

I’ve seen many reviewers says the Rivian cameras are not of very good resolution, in fact many state, fairly poor. Is this something that can be OTA updated or is the hardware itself low quality?

[@jake78441]

What resoultion are they 1080? or 720?

[@ChristianStJulian]

Agreed, please fix the video quality before putting out a flex on this feature. The recordings are only as useful as the video clarity. Also add a true 360 view, there's plenty of cameras angles (11) to stitch this together.

[@smarterthanyou2674]

I’ve looked at footage from the gear guard. It’s way better than Tesla cam footage for sure

[@TheAgentTexas]

And this is the sort of things that every car company should have.

[@aminfozdar]

Yeh they took it from tesla

[@TheAgentTexas]

@@aminfozdar indeed. Tesla was definitely the one that pioneered that innovation.

[@diypasco]

Would also like gear guard protect us from ourselves also. I know a number of people that have forgotten bikes mounted on top of their cars only to pull into their garage to hear a sickening crunch. It sure would be nice if Rivian screen could remind you of that fact when approaching home. It should be a minor software update. Have the bed camera note when you have loads above cab height and when the truck is within a half mile of home a warning pops up on the screen reminding you of that fact. In the case of loads on the roof rack, that might have to be done manually i.e., you have tell the truck you have loads on the roof racks and the truck screens would remind you of that fact within a half mile of home

[@Rivian]

We like where your head is at. We're always looking for new ways to improve our community's future adventures. You never know what might be possible, so keep an eye out for new features and accessories as our journey continues forward!

[@YoMamasCasa]

Gear guard will catch EVERY single individual walking their dog by your car at all hours but it won't catch the guy that banged his door into yours, nor the snowboarder who hit your car with his board, nor the baseball that hit your car, the scratch on your side panel... who knows because GearGuard didn't get one of those on film. It did however, get every individual walking their dog near my car at 3 a.m. so that's always neat.

[@brandenflasch]

This comment is just a shoutout the Rivian media team that makes these fantastic videos

[@allenpotts8809]

YES love the gear guard guy! i want a stuffed animal of him.

[@generalfire4280]

Break the window, open the door, push a button then go ? Do you need a key to turn the car on ? Can this car be tracked ?

[@RivianDad]

QUESTION: Can you use the Gear Guard cable with the tonneau cover closed? (as in if the bike is on the rack, but there are loose items locked under the tonneau)

[@joal4215]

@Rivian Dad: I am still waiting for the reply to the same question

[@XBLWasabiSnooters]

I highly doubt it. From the videos I've watched the cable just has an open loop on the end which locks by the mechanism in the bed. So with the cover closed it wouldn't have a way to access the panel that locks it. The only way it would work is if you wrapped the cable to the object outside the cover. Then provided your own lock to put through the open loops at the end of the cable. However it wouldn't be activated by someone tugging on it like it would through the bed connection.

[@joetalks7899]

What a great concept and approach! Is this only available on the R1T? I have a Launch Edition R1S that's hopefully coming soon! Will this feature be available on R1S?

[@PENFOLD5]

The Rivian Stories guys call it Gary, Gear Guard Gary.

[@maesebofill9000]

I´M IN LOVE WITH RIVIAN

[@nicolasbrunet8243]

The graphics and vibe reminds me of the oxenfree videogame, imagine how amazing it would be to have a steam integration in the vehicles 😍 or videogames built-in

[@bronzeage_222]

Having had two not at fault accidents lately, dash cam is off invaluable practicality. Please allow cameras to record while driving from all angles. Also include a plug for remote (trailer) cameras.

[@luisfelipecorrea5867]

[@Materoosi]

Will there be something similar for R1s

[@mcnillerandsons7906]

Is this not on R1S? I don’t have gear guard in my R1S. App says enable in vehicle but there’s no option to enable it in any settings.

[@tomscala7672]

Thanks for the history, can't wait for the future. Thank you Rivian for quality vehicles and entertaining teasers videos. My headband is tipped to the production team. My name suggestion is Gear Guard Gerry (Jerry) it's gender neutral.

[@bonustimeslots]

Cable should work with a continuity detection system to trigger an alarm. The cameras don't actually activate an alarm so it's not a huge deterrent. Plus having 11 cameras and the driver can only access 2 of them is ridiculous. Otherwise a great vehicle! 👍

[@metamorphic75]

Can't wait for similar detailed promotional videos about the R1S. Seems like information about the R1S has dried up.

[@toddstube578]

Nice, but why no dashcam/in motion record option yet?

[@amul100972]

I like referring to the character as Gear Guard Gary.

[@535banshee]

Can Gear Guard security system be turned off if you don’t want the cameras recording?

[@justbecause9645]

Yes

[@WarriorforYahuah]

Can it be turned off?

[@RZZ-1701]

What happens when somebody who has masked himself/herself e.g. as a Yeti (or a Bigfoot) will reach out to my R1T and spray grafito on all camera lenses just before heist my gear? How many miles will gear guard suck away from my R1T's range per day?

Wham Baam Riviancam?

[@tahaminaahammed2313]

hey rivian add 4 wheel steering on r1t & r1s okay

[@pritamshinde6622]

Simply superb

[@CompTechMike]

Video was not helpful unfortunately. Received truck two days ago. How do I turn on Gear Guard? Instructions say to do it from the "Vehicle" menu but there's no button to turn it on for the first time. Welp, off to Reddit I go, lol. 😕

[@PranavRajagopal]

Love it!

[@tSerapht]

Can you name gear guard character Lachy or Locky?

[@madhursharma2367]

I got my R1S and I am not impressed with gear guard. It drains the battery. Also cameras sometimes miss if person goes from around. It is not recording on all camera if person moves around

[@UmarHamza]

Very cool

Sad , after two year waiting, rivian ditched the. LE customer by increase d the price by 20k. Sad I m not buying rivian move on to f150

[@ignaciorlimon1]

By the end of this year when the market takes a nose dive we may be looking at a steep uptick in insurance fraud aimed at drivers in “fancy” vehicles. I can’t invest in something that won’t protect me from a no fault incident while the car is on the road. There’s no point if I have to install additional cameras and a separate battery for said cameras.

[@jessefive7]

I stand by my recommendation that her name be: Gigi! "G.G." GearGuard, get it??

[@QuicoKoala]

Every car company misleads their new customers with this elaborate beautiful story about an amazing truck for 50K then after a couple of fools takes the bait they up the price for over 70K. Greedy companies won't last, it's only a matter of time before something else comes up and they become ancient. A bunch of trucks stuck with no updates or parts.

[@skadi7654]

"recorded in internal hdd" cool then i will take it with the vehicle.

[@joeyscleaninglady2877]

cool and all but what is the purpose of the camera? It is not really a deterrent. Need active safety measures for your stuff i.e. blinding lights or something of this nature. Cameras nowadays are no deterrent and criminals just wear a mask and will steal. having evidence they stole does nothing to get back your stuff.

[@limamike22]

But no Android Auto or Apple CarPlay? Wtf

[@rj8u]

Tesla called they want their Sentry Mode back 🙈😛😛.

[@BillyHarvey]

Robert Anderson called from 1830. He wants the concept of an EV back.

[@rj8u]

@@BillyHarvey Not even the same comparison 🙈 but ok. I'm surprised Rivian didn't patent their Gear Guard features 💩 oh right they can't because someone actually beat them to it then completely steal the idea and present it like they actually created the features. Steal and steal!

[@rj8u]

It must be hard for a lot of these engineers and software developers to admit they stole the idea from Tesla sentry mode 🙈 then present a features that portray pioneers in this features. I'm surprised you guys didn't patent this features 😁 right you can't I guess 😛. I guess Tesla sentry mode didn't catch you guys stealing their idea 👍👍.

[@aminfozdar]

Yeh lots of former Tesla employees work a rivian, and that’s why the interior design is so similar too

[@smarterthanyou2674]

Please link me to teslas security cable for gear

[@rj8u]

@@aminfozdar Somewhat true, but Rivian is been designing their car interior for a long time, what surprises me is that amount of software being cooy or you might say steal from Tesla even if former Tesla employees works for them now.

[@dailysleaze]

Christ I just want a car not a neighborhood security outpost

[@Marx3]

Aside from stopping opportunistic thieves from simply grabbing and walking off with the equipment, the cable will be useless at protecting against theft. Would have liked to have seen something much more secure. I've yet to see a secure cable lock that will actually withstand genuine attacks

[@Marx3]

@SciFi Author B.L. Alley As you say, it's about slowing them down. Anyone with a couple of quid pair of croppers can snip through something like that as easy as using scissors on paper.
