2022.23.3 OTA Update: Pet Mode, Parking Front Camera View, Cabin Light Adjustment, Updated Energy App & More

Does anyone know if they are still pushing out the new OTA? It’s been several days now and I have not received the firmware update.

I don’t have it either. Someone earlier mentioned CS said they do a 7-day rollout.

I’m still waiting on mine too. I heard they are doing it in batches. My vehicle is in the mid 5,000. How about yours?

My R1T is mid 6000. I guess they’re playing it on the safe side. It’s hard to believe they can’t push out a firmware update for Limited amount of vehicles they have made (sub 10,000 vehicles)in a 24 hour period.

I feel you. My guess is they are making sure the update isn’t causing any issues. Easier to send a patch to a few thousand cars then dealing with 10,000 cars. But idk, this is my first electric vehicle. When is going back to service on Friday for an on going battery issue, along with other things.

They absolutely could push it to everyone in a single day, but it's bad practice to do so. Just like Apple, Microsoft, and Google slow roll updates, Rivian is rolling it out in order to reduce the potential impact of a bad build.

My VIN is in the mid 7000’s, delivered yesterday, and got the update pushed to me earlier this morning. Been about an hour and a half so far and sitting at 69%.

This is normal for a Rivian OTA rollout. Sit back, have a cold one...it will let you know when it is ready! There is no way to force it, you got your truck...we are already ahead of half the people on the forum

I got prompted for the last one within 4 or 5 days of it hitting the streets.

I agree they could push out a day. I I think they’re playing it safe and not pushing it out all at once, l definitely disagree with what you’re saying about Apple Microsoft and Google. I’ve been using Apple products since the late 80s and doing over the air software downloadsI for about 10-15years. Apple releases firmware betas to developers over multiple weeks to test features and fix bugs. And when Apple announces the release of the new firmware they release it to the public all at one time. Sometimes the down load is slow because of the servers are being overloaded but they don’t push out the firmware over multiple days.

Apple makes it available to all the public at the same time, but they don’t actively notify everyone — that happens in batches, over the course of a few weeks. They do let eager people check for and install updates, though. But most people don’t, and ultimately the update installations get naturally staggered.

Ok, wth. It seemed like they were arranged by VIN or delivery date, but I haven't been prompted to download it and my vin is much lower. Really could have used pet mode this weekend...

CommodoreAmiga,

Yes you are correct, that’s what makes the Rivian and Apple Firmware rollouts different. The Apple customers that are up on Apple’s updates check and download it immediately. Other Apple customers get notified and then download it. All of the Rivian customers that are up on the firmware updates cannot download the firmware when they are first know its released. Rivian notified customers via email and they cannot down the firmware‘s when they were notified of a new release.

This is my last post on the matter I’m not interested in going back-and-forth with you on the process. I’m not a Apple or Rivian fan boy, just a customer. I purchase products I’m interested in and think I’m going to like. The question I asked was are they still pushing out OTA. Rivian sent me a email about the firmware update. l was not sure if there was an issue with it and they just stopped pushing it out.

Sorry if it's been mentioned already, but 10 pages deep so...

Had anyone else noticed Sport mode no longer "adjusts automatically" AKA goes into Lowest ride height? Not sure if Conserve does still, but I think this is a big win

I’m still waiting on the update. Has anyone received it in the past few days?

Nothing here either, but I’m not in a huge rush.

I wonder if they try to only push the updates during business days, in case something goes terribly wrong.

Pet mode will do for now. What they really should have is a close the windows tight when it rains so you can skip pet mode and leave them open an inch and not waste battery on cooling.

 

[Pauma Valley]

Do they release the updates to certain customers first because I have not seen mine?
