No road blocks, accidents, detours and what is of note is the re-routing was on two different sections of the trip. One outgoing and one returning. If there was a road block or other issue, when I ignored the route planning, I would have seen something.

I ran it through my google maps on my phone and it took be the standard route....

Run it through mapbox's directions api playground and see what it does, since this is effectively the same routing engine Rivian is using. I am not sure how they integrate charging stop estimation here however.

I personally don’t think the google search within maps have improved.

use case: searched for “dunkin” on route to destination and some nearby obvious ones were missed. Different results in google maps on phone at the same time.

I am pretty dense about judging ride quality but I think I can tell it’s less bouncy with same settings/roads I regularly use.

cell shading is nice - sucker for visual changes - but I feel maybe some similar themed games are coming (adventures!) shortly; possibly Connect+ related. Totally spitballing here…

Edit/Add: also, not sure what order updates are being pushed out. I have a much later VIN than my friend who hasn’t gotten it yet

Why do you know where every Dunkin location is??

I can’t tell if you meant, “why, do you know every..” or “why do you know every..” but like I said, Google maps on phone suggested closer ones that Rivian hadn’t at the same time.

For the same reasons George knows this…



It’s a perfectly relaxing place to do your business.

So far update is nice, but can't seem to find the compass and motor info that used to be on the screen with the drive options. Is it moved somewhere else? Anyone know? Also, does anyone know where to find launch mode? thanks

Swipe right on the pretty drive mode picture.

Anyone else still waiting? I wish there was a way to initiate the download from the Rivian or the app. This waiting is driving me crazy…

I looked at the software version in the settings, and it says, ‘You’re waiting for an update?.’ Then, this picture appeared..

Same here, the struggle is real.

My vehicle keeps uploading hundreds of MBs to the mothership… still not downloading the update. ?

They're prepping data and busy writing code just for you.

Nothing inspires confidence like some intern who needs to enter my VIN into some Excel spreadsheet so they can whitelist my vehicle to receive a software update.

I have a few quibbles, and one serious disappointment with the Route Planning portion of navigation. We make quite a few trips to San Diego from our location here in AZ and the quickest route is always the same.

Friday morning we left from Gilbert, AZ to San Diego, CA (using standard I-8 plan) and the route planning wanted to take us 1hr. 25 further to the I-10 to Quartzsite RAN, then cut across through Blythe, CA and by Glamis sand dunes then reconnect to I-8 to San Diego. I reset, did it 3x and same route. Ignored it.

On the way home from San Diego today via the I-8, it wanted me to use an EA charger in El Centro, CA then work my way through Brawley, CA past Glamis Dunes and onto the I-10 and Quartzsite RAN again. This was now 1hr 30 minutes longer than taking I-8 to Gila Bend RAN and route through Maricopa and home.

I ignored the route planning and it recalculated after skipping the suggested stop in El Centro. 4 minutes from the RAN in Gila Bend, AZ up popped a new route to save time. I knew it was incorrect, but selected it and now it desired to reroute me 28 minutes out of my way back up to I-10.

The updated map software for the route planning for me, went well backwards. Is Rivian Support the best way to advise them?

This is likely nothing new, I saw something similar last year going from the west valley to Carlsbad. Carlsbad is essentially the same distance via I-8 or I-10, but last year PlugShare showed a lot of issues with I-8 chargers. I planned it on the phone to stop in Indio, then on to Carlsbad. Got in the truck and it routed me south to I-8. I ignored it and blew by Az 85, then it wanted me to stop in Quartzsite, when that was unnecessary. The nav seems to be set up to pick every Ran on the route as a stop.
