It is true. I just got the download and I have a Live Update on my Lock Screen. It did not show right away but eventually did. It does act odd though. Goes from 9% to 64%, back to 8%, then to 85%. Guess it loses its position sometimes.I swear I thought I saw someone post a live activity showing them update was downloading?

Only way to find out before you've downloaded the update is to use something like Rivian Roamer (linking your Rivian account) or Home Assistant. Otherwise you just have to stay connected and hope your vehicle downloads it, then it'll notify you.I'm downloading now!
