This makes it seem like we have to remain in highest for a certain amount of time to get the full buttery smooth result. I wonder if articulating it a lot while in highest would help/accelerate the process of reaching smoothness. For example, going over high/tough speed bumps while in highest.
I suspect the Gen 1 suspension improvements are coming but have been delayed pending more testing and development. The beta release notes described exactly the state of things, the need to “provide a better distinction between ride feel Soft, Medium, and Firm settings”, etc.
Over the past 2-3...
Thank you.
Do your Damper Pressures or System Pressure change significantly based on ride feel? Mine seem to remain constant and are higher than yours. I have [9, 9, 11, 11] and 17.1 regardless of ride feel so far.
Not sure if my issue is the same as yours but my suspension has been overly stiff for quite some time. Wondering now if it could be CV or bearing issue.
Check this guy out— his suspension became stiff after a hard reset. Scroll up and he explains how the “stretching” fixed his suspension stiffness.

I’d love to know if it’s a car hardware thing or a software / computer settings thing…
With the comfort improvements in previous updates the suspension got super nice but then some people were complaining about squeaks and bounciness… and failing dampers…
After my damper replacement my 2022 R1T continues to show little difference between firm and soft. The highest-to-lowest exercise seems to help a bit but not for long.
Makes it seem like a software Issue.
Is it possible that Rivian disabled the 2024.19 ride comfort intentionally to prevent...
Ask if a recent update rolled back or reduced the 2023.34.00 ride comfort improvements and 2024.19 Suspension Tuning updates in the R1T/R1S suspension? Many of us have noticed reduced ride comfort starting a few updates ago, even in Standard Soft.
Did introducing those comfort measures cause...
The 2024.19 Suspension Tuning update did exactly that for me, 2022 R1T. Very comfortable ride on any terrain.
Only recently did the ride become harsh and lose essentially any difference between firm and soft.
After a quick test this seems to improve things somewhat for me too — should be able to test more soon. There still seems to be some harshness left. Service told me that a(t least one) damper needs to be replaced on my R1T — maybe that's the remainder of the harshness...
