My advice is stop trying to micromanage it, set the temp you want at the start of your drive and leave it in auto. I get bad behavior if I try to make adjustments after it's already reached the setpoint. Typically pretty good if I just leave it alone.
I’d be happy to do any level of micromanagement if I could guarantee it would work. Unfortunately, per service escalation, not being able to control defrost is “working as designed” (https://www.rivianforums.com/forum/threads/broken-defrost-in-a-snowstorm.22187/)
Is your leave it alone over 72? If I set it for 72+ its fine. But if I set it for 68-70 I get a much colder cabin temp when it should be calling for heat. About to start an hour drive home and will grab a thermometer to test it out. Haven't tried with the most recent update. I usually just pick one side of the drive to have it on at 72 and off for the other half and let it drift.
No it's not. That's the problem. In my Porsche it's totally transparent. I never have to touch it, or even notice something is off. It just "works" in the background. With the Rivian it's always something like "why is it blowing cold air on my feet" or "why is it blowing hot air on my arms" or "why is the fan on so high" or "why did the vents turn off for the rear passengers"
I set mine to 67 in the summer and 69 in the winter. I agree that it initially blows cold air in the winter but then changes quickly to hot. Now I usually start the climate control a few minutes before I leave and it's warm when I get in.
Seems like something is wrong woth your truck, not the software. Mine is just like your Porsche or any of Mt previous Acura, Lexus, Jeep. I just ignore it at whatever it is set at. If slightly cold...I bump it up a degree....if slightly hot...bump it down a degree. But that is about it....just works...
Yeah same. 71.5 is the precipice between heaven and hell apparently. 71 = cold / 72 = heat. Regardless of outside temp, my mood, or position of celestial bodies.
100% this. If I want cool, I go 70. If I want heat, 74. But 72 is the magic flip flopper.
I'd have to agree....mine works great. Range for me down to about 0F and up to ballpark 90F. But works as good as any vehicle I have had. Which makes me think there is some hardware issue with some trucks or software module not working correctly?
This is due to the auto hold mode, which I wish could be turned off. It is not needed with one pedal driving.
