OTA Update Did Nothing /s

[elatrickWheels]

Wednesday’s OTA Update (aka R1 Gen 2 Launch) seems to have done absolutely nothing to my Gen 1 R1S. Just completed my first road trip since the update, and, try as I might, I could notice no degradation whatsoever. My Rivian was just as fabulous as it was on Tuesday’s road trip, before the update. Contrary to recent reports:

• My ride was smooth (despite being on suspension that is unacceptably poor)
• My audio was fine (despite being on the non-Meridian system)
• All four motors purred along smoothly (despite being Bosch ones that aren’t even oil-cooled)
• My ambient lighting was totally inoffensive (despite not being particularly customizable)
• Performance was quite acceptable (despite not even having 1000 HP)
• Wheels rolled along quite satisfactorily and efficiently (despite being the despised 21” variety)
• Control systems all worked fine (despite having 17 ECUs connected by more than a mile of excess cabling)
• I could see the Golden Gate Bridge through my roof (despite it being made of monochromatic glass)

I must be missing something.

Like the /s at the end of your post.

So what you are saying....contrary to many posts....your truck isn't obsolete and only respectable thing is to send it to crusher? Hahaha! I am in same boat.....mine seems to do all the things I want it to do still as the best vehicle I have ever been in or owned. I even find the vampire drain a complete non-issue I don't even pay the slightest attention to. (Lie....last time it sat at airport for 2 weeks I checked in on it to see a consistent 1% loss in winter....so I was just fine with that...otherwise....wouldn't even notice).

Would I take a new Quad? Yes. Am I going to spend $60k or so and my truck....not likely at least for a while....

The best post all week!

You need to look more closely. SOMETHING must have gotten much worse since Thursday.

that was amazing. I also LOVE my Gen1 R1S. - excited for all the new customers getting the gen2. Happy to see Rivian continue to innovate..

Wait, are you suggesting it’s possible to be happy with something that is only 98% as good as the latest/greatest thing to be announced? Is that even possible?

But, but, but....... zero to 60 in 2.5 for only a lot more money. I see it as nickle and dimming, no camp speaker, no bed outlet all extra, CRAZY.
