PSA: Gear Guard/Car Alarm only goes off when the car door is opened making us easy targets for thieves to go through the window.

Don't be surprised if your Rivian is broken into and your alarm doesn't go off. Confirmed from the service center that this is the case after my R1S was broken into. Don't expect gear guard to be of any use.

There's plenty of improvements Rivian could do via OTA such as interior motion detection, tilt sensing, unauthorized entry detection, glass shattering detection, warning chirps if you are too close to the car. Many of these features are available from Tesla's Sentry Mode, Mercedes 360d, BMW Advanced Vehicle Protection System, Audi Pre-sense, Volvo Intellisafe, Lexus smart security, etc that I easily assumed gear guard would be comparable to (wrong).

There plenty of posts including mine showing Gear Guard failing at the most bare minimum tasks of going off during a break in. Don't be a victim of assuming what gear guard pretends to be.
