2022.47.0 software update installed w/ SNOW MODE!

[SoCalTravels]

Our Regen is getting weaker and weaker as we drive as well. Battery level doesn’t seem to have any impact. Just the more we drive the car the more it doesn’t stop as expected (in high Regen) on multiple occasions I’ve had to start breaking, then suddenly with no warning regin will kick back into high and slam the vehicle to a stop well before the intended stop. It’s frustrating when you can’t anticipate the level of Regen that will be applied.

I’ve noticed this since the last update as well. Battery will be at 30% and after just a handful of regents from pulling off the pedal, it will suddenly loses significant reven capacity and require physical braking. Super strange. Hopefully just a bug that they can fix?

When I first got the truck I was in love with how it automatically stopped and held at traffic lights. Solid.

In the past month--before this update--I was noticing how frequently I'd come up to a light and just let off the accelerator, and the truck would roll backwards on even the gentlest uneven ground. I've had to start applying the brake to get it to hold where I want it.

Haven't had enough driving with the new update to say if it feels different, but wanted to point out that it was already feeling sloppier to me before this update. Not sure if that's an age thing, or something that was introduced in a different update.

It happened with one of the updates. It makes it easier to modulate for slower speed things - like inching in the garage - where you might come to a split second stop/roll. Before it would be an abrupt lock and you had to make a decision on whether you're comfortable with hitting the accelerator to get it to disengage hill hold and possibly jumping forward into the wall.

I for one prefer it this way vs the previous way.

But the answer might be just what my Tesla seems to do. Hit the brake pedal again to disengage hill hold and allow rolling..

Any word on what’s coming in the next update?

I've been wondering the same, it seems late?

Holidays! I expect 6 weeks from the last patch instead of the usual 4.

FWIW I've been tracking (not quite struggling with) the limited regen for a while now, as I live up a very steep mountain road, such that the first 0.9 mile of my drive drops me about 600' in altitude, where I'd like to reclaim as much juice as possible.

There are three icons/messages when the limitation shows up:

• "Regenerative braking is limited due to high battery charge" - which has included triggering once when I was at 72% in the past. Happens all the time at 85% charge.
• "Acceleration and regenerative braking are reduced until the battery warms up" - which has happened for me at 43°F and lower temperatures.
• No clear message or icon, just a belated "Regenerative braking reduced; use brake pedal to slow" message that shows up ~10 seconds AFTER I have to start using the brake to stay safe.

Consensus from a previous thread of mine discussing this was that it was just battery chemistry being unable to accept that much charge that fast...which makes sense, though it surprises me that I can drive for 30s+ of regeneration before this kicks in.

Another issue I've had with the notifications is their frequency. On my most recent trip to Tahoe the notification about limited acceleration and regen until the battery warms up (ambient temp low 40s) occurred about every 30-60 seconds for 30 minutes. It was actually quite annoying. I wish they would increase the timeout, or somehow make these icons less distracting.

Just updated to the latest software. I can confirm that the new LOW regeneration setting is only available in SNOW mode. Tidal app has also been loaded.

has the default regen setting in snow mode been changed from low? I used snow mode last night and when activated it kept my regen in high unless I manually changed it.

This thread is two years old. Nothing mentioned in the previous replies is anywhere close to being up to date.

My understanding is that snow mode _allows for_ the lowest possible regen setting, but that doesn't mean changing into snow mode will change your regen setting automatically.

I’m well aware it’s two years old. The reason I brought it back is if you look at the photos, the default setting on snow mode when it came out was low for regenerative breaking. now when you switched to snow mode, it doesn’t change your regenerative breaking to low it keeps it in whatever setting you’ve had it on previously. As a longtime Rivian owner this is a pretty massive change for me and something I’d want to know when using snow mode. In fact, I can’t really tell the difference now between snow and all purpose.

It might just remember your settings from the last time you used snow mode?

Snow mode is more about traction control than regen.

I agree, but before I expected it to go directly into low regen as a feature of Snow mode, which it did before, and it no longer does.

Snow mode came out BEFORE you were allowed to switch regen into low in any other mode. Now, you can use low regen in a few spots but must select it yourself. Not an issue IMO.
