Stuff like that could be gated to be while in Park or when stopped. For example, you can change drive modes via Assistant, but only when you're in Drive IIRC.

When we got our Tesla with FSD back in 2017-2018, the website had all kinds of wild claims about FSD being ready and only subject to regulatory approval, too. As well as capabilities. I feel you'd have to download/screencap everything to get a sense of what they were advertising, promising, and...

I had a previous navigation address that I wanted to go to again. I asked assistant "Can you navigate to the address on Elm street in [City] from my navigation history?" The response was "I couldn't find an address on Elm street in your navigation history." But when I manually tapped to in the...

I doubt this is changing in the hotfix, but I so want the turn signals to turn off earlier on lane changes, like once all your wheels cross the lane lines. I'm always squared away in the new lane for several seconds, wondering if the turn signals will auto-off or if I need to do so myself (and...

I have the RMAXX/EVSportline running boards, and they were great, easily one of the best additions to my R1T. One thing that has been at the back of my mind though, is when it rains, or my shoes are just wet, or when I'm standing on the edge of the very narrow running board platform, slipping...

Very welcome changes! We've tuned the "Hey, Rivian" model to be more responsive, reducing the number of times you need to repeat yourself. Thank goodness. Based on community feedback, we've reduced the volume of the chimes when using Rivian Assistant. I think they can also reduce the NUMBER...

The RG58 that comes with the Midland radio is 5.5 mm diameter and can be squeezed into the panel gap between the huge rear fender/roofline and the rail for the cargo crossbars. Since I installed the radio. I've actually swapped it out for a BTech 50w. Reasons include: 1) I couldn't use the...

Oh fun. Throwing my hat in the ring. What dash cam you're currently running and how long you've had it None, but have been looking for one since my R1T came back from service with Gear Guard camera turned off, and that very day I got bumped by another car. Your typical driving situation —...

Same, first thing I did was to ensure "Show message notifications" was turned on. Still, have never received an incoming text notification on the Rivian.

I've encountered the laggy backup cameras on the 2022 Teslas before, but didn't know Rivians do something similar. For the first time, while I was backing up the camera just froze. It took a second for my brain to register the disconnect, but I stopped before backing into the car behind me. The...

When I first saw this post, I thought, "Nah, OP is just being overly-sensitive." This morning, I did an about face. I asked assistant to turn off the AC as I pulled out of my driveway, and the response of "Adjusting the climate control" 100% sounded like a 20-something fed up retail clerk...

This is 100% happening. I mentioned it earlier and someone said "it does notify you, it's just low volume." Nope, I can send texts via Rivian Assistant, but it is 100% silent on received texts, I'm pretty sure it's not getting the notification from the phone at all. I have message notifications...

So...it's better than the current Gen2 R1 rear release. Let's at least give them that. But I'm disappointed that there is still this "malicious compliance" element where it is clear they just don't want to do it, and are doing the absolute minimum to be able to say they're doing it. It's...

It uses that voice if you're in "On-road" drive modes for more than 70% of the time. If you spend time on off-road mode, it changes to the lumberjack voice.

Are you talking about the Assistant voice generally, or the new navigation voice (the latter is entirely NPR vocal fry)? Now that they both sound more natural, I just wish it was the same voice.
