Yes!!!!!!! Finally a scheduled preconditioning!!! This is huge!!!
our bmw i4’s are amazing having had this feature since day one and hard to have an EV without this. I’m really excited to get this update when it’s pushed to our R1T!
One step closer! Thanks Rivian.
Ask and Ye shall receive! Maybe next they will improve that blinker sound that's plaguing you.
Serious question has the I4 received any improvement updates?

"Improved throttle control when in Reverse "

That's great to hear because backing up to a trailer coupler and going just "half an inch more" is very difficult the way the throttle is mapped currently.

Why would it be a bad thing to merely have the option to turn of off if you want to?
Then you'd have to turn it on again

Noticed this as well. It also seems inconsistent. Backing up to a trailer on .42 seemed better than .46, perhaps due to the hold issues addressed on 46.1… but I would love to get more control in reverse and consistent response when backing up.

BMW has pushed maybe 3-4 updates OTA and many improvements. But the car had a lot of great features from day one. But recently they improved routing in nav significantly, helping plan all the stops at dc chargers better than before. And they added widgets to their app in one of the early updates, many minor bug fixes, I do recall some significant improvements to their drive assist function which is really good already. But they don’t have Netflix or YouTube however I have external android device that enables all that on the main bmw screen so isn’t a big deal. Would like if Rivian updates their OS for YouTube and Netflix, but for now have that CarPlay thing from one of the vendors who announced it recently

i don't think it's only for off-road
The update notes don't seem like the improvements are off-road only, you are correct, but the K-turn seems like it would be (the patent talks about 'soft surfaces'). That's why I don't think this update is talking about the K-turn.

I wish they would add the ability to turn off the "courtesy wipe" with the auto wiper

I have to leave wipers turned off as I can't do anything to prevent the wiper from running on a dry windshield every time I go into park

That's why I said perhaps some variant, or just maybe just a little additional slip via torque-vectoring - wasn't trying to say it literally IS the K-turn patent, just perhaps inspired by their research into it :D

Preconditioning is going to be awesome! Even more so it can pull the needed energy from charger and not the battery pack.

Awesome job Rivian!
