They could put a low speed cutoff - it is pretty irritating when just moving cars in/out of garage / down the driveway etc.

Lots of great features. I tried rally mode yesterday and wow if soaks up washboard roads. I was cruising at 45-50mph on 22s and 50psi. It makes a difference. This was about a 20 mile stretch of road. To lazy to air down and too cheap to put on all terrains, yet.

Rally has another benefit but I'm not going to post about it because Rivian would probably patch it. Just enjoy the new mode. It's awesome.

Faster, more responsive infotainment

I’ll quietly celebrate this, thank you. The number of times I have to hit climate control icon thinking I didn’t hit it right while driving 🫠

Looks like either the post here or RivianTracker may have a formatting issue. On RivianTrackr, this is nested so that it only applies to Alexa commands, not to the UI in general.

wish they would enable audio via USB in a release already....this should have been done awhile back

I was just thinking about this very wish this morning!

• Alexa can now launch SiriusXM channels by name or number

Sweet. Now if Rivian can permanently fix my ultrasonic sensor issue....

I'm pretty sure I've moved mine in and out of the garage and never heard anything.

This is a gen 2 thing

Where the heck is launch mode for the Gen 1's?

Would not be surprised if it is already to go and they are waiting to release it until the G2 quads are out.

I doubt this because Tri motors already have it.

Also why can’t you auto send signals to gates and garages as you approach them? Why do you have to press a button? I thought be able to tiggl

I would guess this is a safety consideration. Your door may already be opened, and your vehicle has no way to know the current state. Automatically closing it could be considered unsafe. As an example, there is a large tree that blocks my view of my garage door as I approach. I have no way to know if the door is open or not until I clear the tree. The truck offers me the option to send the signal before I can see the door, but I wait until it's in view. If it sent it as soon as it was available, it might inadvertently close the door instead of open it.

right, but you can put how many feet you are away from the garage to auto open and close, I've seen tesla's have that option on friends cars and it works seemlessly

Very undesirable. I drive past my house to get to the mailbox down the street. Last thing I want is the garage to open because I drove by. Is it really so difficult to hit one button on the wheel that your hand is likely already near and don't even need to move to reach it?

 

[Krs71]

it's not about the effort, it's about the tech and features, if it's capable, it should be available for users to setup and use as desired.
