2024.39 Software Update Release Notes (Gen1 and Gen2)

[COdogman]

Blah blah blah it wasn't promised. Things promised like Hands Free Driving in Gen 1 also ain't happening as well so who cares what's promised or not. In other words it doesn't matter until it actually happens.

It will be interesting to see if this improves Gen 1 vampire drain.

I’m always hopeful for a fix to vampire drain, but I don’t see how this would improve it. The problem is the vehicle doesn’t stay asleep. I haven’t tracked how soon it goes to sleep now after I leave the vehicle but my guess would be within 10 minutes.

Thrilled to see they finally made OFF the default for holding the down button for the wipers. That was always a huge annoyance. The sleep changes seem great...hopefully it works well in practice. At my office the truck sits something like 50 ft from my desk with a few walls between, but our conference room is basically right next to the truck. So it constantly wakes/sleeps all day long. If this fixes that I'll be ecstatic. Being able to leave a seat belt buckled will be nice for many folks too.

As I just commented, I'm hoping this means it'll stay asleep. The vast majority of my current vampire drain appears to be from constant wake/sleep from getting too close to my truck. It was parked/plugged-in this past week and every day was around 1.5 kWh that it topped itself up.

My drain occurs regardless of how close I get to the truck. I can have everything off and still experience battery drain.

I feel simultaneously good and bad as they fixed some items I bitched about, lol. I didn't expect them to fix the fiddley wiper controls, yay. Anything that makes the car sleep more is a plus in my book too.

Thanks Rivian

We have had that for a while. It's just for 30 seconds.

Get used to it. One or two positive comments followed by a bunch of whining that *my* favorite thing isn’t here yet or they *promised* or that update us stupid because *I* don’t use/need it.

First vehicle I’ve ever owned that is better after a year and a half, and better almost every month! Thanks Rivian!

Gen2 Updates:

Driver Display Improvements
We improved the appearance and usability of the driver display.

• Added a new navigation maneuver panel in the top left.
• Consolidated most of the driver notifications to the left side, and added new animations.
• Improved the volume, headlight, and wiper notifications.
• Improved the energy graph and Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) carousel panels.
• Added a new phone and media panel to the carousel.

Automatic Front Camera in Park Assist
When Park Assist engages, the front camera view now automatically appears on the center display. This helps you to navigate tight parking spaces more confidently without taking your hands off the wheel. The setting is enabled by default. Go to Settings > Driver Assistance > Automatic Parking Camera to disable it.

Rivian Autonomy Platform Improvements

• Our new Model Predictive Controller (MPC) improves steering comfort in Highway Assist by providing much smoother and more natural transitions when centering in or changing lanes.
• We improved vehicle detection and visualization on the driver display.

TIDAL now includes Dolby Atmos!

Additional Improvements

  • When the driver and passengers exit the vehicle, the vehicle now starts to sleep within 5 seconds even if an unoccupied passenger seat belt is still fastened.
  • When the driver and front passenger exit the vehicle, and close the doors but don’t lock them, the vehicle now starts to sleep within 5 seconds.
  • When the vehicle starts to sleep, tap on the center or rear display within 1 minute to wake it back up.
• Audio
  • Fixed an issue that prevented mono streams from playing.
  • Fixed issues that caused momentary interruptions during playback.
  • In Spotify, fixed an issue that caused audio to sound muffed in certain tracks.

• Fixed a rare issue that could cause a vehicle not to respond on wake.
• Francis Energy DC fast charging (DCFC) stations now appear in the Navigation app maps.
• Updated the Wipers menu by moving Off to the bottom. Holding the switch down now jumps the selector to Off instead of Auto, and turns off the wipers.
• Vehicle access
  • When the vehicle exceeds the speed of 8 mph (12 km/h) and tree open door button presses are registered for a specific door, the vehicle now sends a “Slow down to open door” notification.
  • Disabled the lock and unlock function on the rear display when the vehicle exceeds the speed of 2 mph (3 km/h).
  • Fixed an issue that caused a false open door notification to appear during a drive.
  • Fixed an issue in Car Wash mode that prevented deployed handles from retracting when the vehicle was shifted from P (Park) to D (Drive).
  • Fixed an issue that prevented press to unlock from functioning when the vehicle was waking up and detected at home.
  • Fixed a rare issue that caused a slow response during an active unlock from the mobile app.
  • Fixed a rare issue that prevented the phone key from shifting the vehicle out of drive after other phone keys were deleted.

• Fixed an issue that caused a High Beam Assist unavailable notification to appear when the vehicle woke from sleep.
• Added a notification that provides more information on the engagement of the rear drive system in auto-AWD (All-Wheel Drive).
• Added a notification in the Rivian mobile app 2.15.0 or later to inform you if an outstanding balance is preventing plugging and charging the vehicle.
• Fixed an issue that caused the loss of GPS during a Navigation software update.
• Fixed an issue that prevented automated garage door prompt from appearing on the driver display.
• Battery
  • For vehicles with the Large+ battery pack, updated the charge limit recommendation to 85% or 100%.
  • After a vehicle is parked for a number of days (around a week or more), it will charge to 100% at a slower rate and at lower regen to provide time for the battery to calibrate.
• Gear Guard Live Cam
  • Improved the session start reliability.
  • Improved the streaming reliability, and with the Rivian mobile app 2.15.0 or later, the stream now defaults to the last camera selected.
• Fixed a USB and SSD stability issue in Drive Cam and Motion Cam.
• Fixed an issue that disabled the Driver Position Calibration > Driver’s Seat option on the Service screen.

Spooky settings will soon appear!

Wait until the vehicle downloads and tells you it's ready. You can't force it. And this is still beta software, not released to the general public yet.

You will get a notification on your center screen or in your app if you have it setup to give notifications. This OTA hasn't rolled out for public consumption yet.
