Upcoming Rivian September 2023 software update: Drive Mode and UI Updates

[azbill]

I would like to see garage doors show up around home without having to hit the garage button. So, you reduce the need for one extra tap.

Not what he is asking for, nor me. I would like all 5 of my door buttons to show up at once. With the thumb wheel you still have to scroll through them. It is extra steps.

Or, you know, just auto open a default one of your choosing.

Mine rarely leaves sport mode.

Your area must have some excellent roads! In South Austin, the vehicle beats you up like a wooden rollercoaster in sport mode.

I read that as tweaks/improvements to existing drive modes; not new drive modes. Guess we'll find out.

Pie à la Mode mode would be nice.

I was poking around the configurator last night and noticed on Dual performance now has soft sand mode to the list of drive configurations. Not sure when I would use soft sand with my dual motor performance, but good to know it might be coming!

After 4 days of use, two UI changes I'd like (and haven't heard mentioned):

1) Clock in the driver LCD. Current upper-right on main LCD is way to far away.

2) Some minimal hysteresis in the MPH. Very distracting to see it flicker rapidly between two consecutive MPH values. Basic programming.

The clock one has been requested by many of us, for quite some time now.

You have to wonder if this is on purpose.

3 updates later: "Uh oh we're light on content this month. Let's pad it with that driver display screen clock to our customers' great pent-up relief, and then we get to say "We're Listening"!!"

Coming from a tesla, thats what I miss most

Rode in my first Tesla last weekend in Vegas Ubers...several of them. First thing I noticed was that sweet blinds spot camera and the fact they show vehicles behind the Tesla and not just when beside directly or front like the Rivian. Since they seemed to have benchmarked Tesla so much why not include those features too?

Sport mode is totally undrivable for me. The truck is so jerky I really only use it on mountain roads if I want to go fast or if I’m showing someone how fast the vehicle actually is.

I actually thought ride comfort in Low/Lowest improved quite a bit, but at the cost of performance in Sport mode. The biggest problem I have in Sport mode is the throttle calibration is too sharp, which leads to oscillations over bumps if you don't watch your right foot. But like you, I really only use Sport mode in the canyons if I want to have fun.

I can bare with the jerkiness. but all the rattle noises in the cabin will drive me crazy.

Totally agreed i think the throttle needs tuning a bit.
coming from model Y performance with similar acceleration ability, i never thought this was a problem for rivian
