Yeah what @COdogman said!

Although I'm a little surprised that there's still no Amazon Music "App"

I hope we see Apple Music in the future!

Big update. Snow, Spotify/Music ads, suspension improvements, battery management, highway assist, additional app functions, other. Pretty material.

So is Snow Mode an offroad mode option only? In an early conversation with Rivian in October, they made it seem like they might be considering both on road and off road snow versions, not sure from this?

Thanks Cohall. Merry Christmas.

 

[Chinna]

We hope soon YT music, Apple Music, Prime video, Netflix.

Holy cow, this is a big one! This is the first time I’ve seen a reference to the “futon”, is that what they call the R1S third row?

Damn it, I want confirmation of santa mode.

• Fixed a rare issue when a password was required for an open Wi-Fi network.
• Addressed an issue that turned off Pet Comfort when you heated the steering wheel.
• Highway Assist improvement to more easily override automatic steering when you want to take over.
• Addressed a rare issue when Highway Assist disengaged during heavy traffic conditions with low visibility of lane markings.
• Improved Highway Assist availability on banked roads.
• Fixed a rare issue when after the vehicle displayed a warning that your hands were off of the wheel, it erroneously displayed a failure notification if you moved the steering wheel.

I'm happier about the audio controls. Drives me nuts that if I don't have the music blaring loud, I can't hear navigation instructions when they come up. Happy to see that corrected.

This is wonderful news! Way to go Rivian!

A lot of great changes in this update!! I’m impressed how fast Rivian is rolling out big changes. They are definitely listening and doing an amazing job at rolling out updates!

The way I read it, it is for on road and for off road you would use Off-Road All-Terrain.

New Snow Mode
Snow mode maximizes comfort in snow, slush, or icy on-road conditions. A relaxed pedal response and reduced regenerative breaking allow for more precise control on low-grip road surfaces. Also, the vehicle offers improved performance when it slows to a stop, Go to Drive Modes > Snow.

[Jkicks15]

Whilst this is all great, I really still want either a native texting app or add CarPlay even if it’s a subscription. For an 87k truck the fact in cannot easily do what a 2015 civic can is getting dumber with every update it’s not added

 

[Tonicart]

Very nice. Looking forward to the volume controls.

 

[Feetdry]

Sorry, I am ancient (pre internet) and tend to judge my reading by how spelling, and other language arts are delivered. You lost me on breaking. Yes, I know spell check made the error.

 

[sylgeist]

Very excited to see multiple items addressed that we've been talking about. Excellent!

I hope they disable lane assist in snow mode I'm tired of the truck trying to "bump" me back into my lane when there is snow and slush on the road and everyone has made there own lanes!
