Summary

Rivian explains that disabling vehicle connectivity in their EVs limits features like navigation, lane keeping assistance, and over-the-air updates. Canadian vehicles have a toggle in the Data & Privacy settings, while non-Canadian vehicles require a service appointment to disable the eSIM. Disabling connectivity does not cancel Rivian subscriptions like Connect+.

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.
