2024.39 Software Update Release Notes (Gen1 and Gen2)

[Pouyafrankie]

Still wish that Rivian would update the power meter on driver IP to show actual power available vs max power...Like they do when QM is in conserve for example.

So when SOC is low...and power available is something less than 100%, show that in that sliding display thing. Or if things are hot...cold...etc...

I want to know....how much under max the truck has....am I at...at any given time.

Agreed. My Mach-E does this. As the SOC gets lowered, little gray stripes start filling in at the end of the power meter to show that part of the meter is unavailable. We call them "jailbars" i think even at like 75% i start seeing a line or two. Would love to have a similar in my R1S

While this looks like a worthwhile update, I have to think that there are more than few of us out there who remain disappointed that yet another cycle has passed without enabling the ability for the user to select the wheel sizing.

Because I don't know... are all Tesla tires the same diameter across the board, with only differences being wheel diameters? This would make it a lot easier and would keep speeds and epa mileage ratings true.

I could never get Ford to reprogram my truck for slightly bigger tires and had to use fordscan software to program the ecu myself.

Navigation maneuver panel on top left corner… won’t the steering wheel obstruct this view?

A little late to the party, but for those who what to see the difference between the G1 and G2 updates

Not to be argumentative, but in earnest, simply putting the tire size in can correct 100% for speedo/odo. It's a constant. Width/Aspect Ratio/Wheel Diameter. It would be verily easy to implement, all things being considered. Anyone can read that number off of their sidewall and input it into a configuration screen.

And with the built in GPS, if Rivian really wanted to, they could probably run a check to validate the numbers against the speed of the vehicle when in motion. (A bit more complicated, and unnecessary, but would at least alleviate any concern for someone inputting the incorrect information to...I don't know...mess with the Odometer--not that you're going to get a ton of 'free miles' out of it).

I'm with you... seems easy, but I'm also trying to figure out why they wouldn't want to do it. Since fast or slow speedometers can effect a lot of things, from safe traffic speeds to resale values of vehicles, I'm guessing they aren't trusting the public to do the right thing.

This. Imagine if someone could put in any number they choose... Like running the old cars in reverse on a lift...

You walked right into this one!!! Thank you...

Full Moon is on Thursday the 17th… Think they unleash the spookiness on the full moon?

You could unleash the spookiness today if you could change the date in your Rivian to go into the future. If that works, set it back to 12-31-1999 at 2359:59 and tell us if your Rivian survives!!! Seriously, the Halloween theme is already programmed in most likely and it set to activate on a pre-determined date. My Rivian employee neighbor says the 18th... I'm pretty sure it isn't waiting for 2024.39.xx to work.

Who owns the car again?

One possibility I don't think you've mentioned is that Rivian wants to change things like the suspension, light angles, and camera angles when they change the tire diameter.

Well, people can already put on any size tire they can get to fit. So instead of allowing us to get it right Rivian forces the odometer to be wrong for those people.

Sure, but it limits the damage and, most importantly, their liability.

Maybe. Although I'm verily uncertain what 'damage' you think this could cause?

But it's also an unfair 'control' thing. When I owned my previous vehicles, I could get the TPMS and all tire-ODO calibrations done at my friendly neighborhood Mom & Pop shop with an OBD computer. Even Volvo licensed whatever proprietary software they use to reprogram the ECU. And in fact, I had a menu literally installed in my ECU/drivers' interface that I could self-select when I swapped to my winter (or back to summer) tires to tell the car to re-establish and calibrate the TPMS.

This is monopolizing our vehicle options, especially when it comes to aftermarket wheels/tires/etc. Which is uncool for all of the reasons we've mentioned and then some.

What's the risk/downfall to Rivian (honestly) when other brands are already doing this?

As far as liability, just like anything else: add it to the disclaimer legalese. I'd bet dollars to donuts the people that might use it to nefariously alter their ODO to falsely report they have 100 less miles on their vehicle number in single digits. Whereas the number of people who are negatively impacted by running aftermarket or different diameter wheels/tires than what the vehicle was delivered with will be (at least) in the hundreds.

Even if I did change the OD of my tire to a size that Rivian would calibrate for, I would NOT pay them to do it. That's ridiculous.

The damage would be odometer fraud.
