Hey everyone,
So we have been having really cold weather here in MD. Its been in the lower teens to high twenties here lately. I have noticed that when im driving on the highway, all of the sensors will atop working, the dash will have a couple warning lights, and some features will completely stop working such as adaptive high beam, no vehicle visualization in the dash, no blind spot detection.

When this happens a restart will fix it but its very inconvenient on longer drives. I usually will hold the username down to capture a system diagnostic. Does anyone know if that gets uploaded to rivian or if it just stays on the car until a tech looks at it?

There was a recall for the adaptive headlights related to cold weather. Did you have that performed yet?

I believe those captured logs stay on the vehicle, but I could be wrong. IMO if this has happened more than twice you should schedule an appointment to get it checked out.

Cold weather does funny things to these vehicles. Inconsistent & annoying are two best adjectives. The diagnostic capture just stays in the vehicle; not sent to Rivian. Make an appt, take pictures & videos of issues before going in. I've never had the diagnostic capture mean much at SC.
BTW, I wish that is the temp we have been having in Central Illinois. Warming up now though!

We're coming out of a -15 F period, and I didn't have any of those issues with my R1T. I'd suggest scheduling service to get it looked at.

Might sound basic but did you check your sensors / bumpers & windshield? - if there's been a ton of salt, could it be that simple?

I used to get driver aid errors on my ICE cars every winter as well just because of residue build up.
