Software Update 2023.50 -- Scheduled battery preconditioning & other useful improvements!

[AxelR]

I’d do a “hard” reset.
Warning light button and most left button on steering wheel. Hold both until it resets (screen goes dark then reset procedure starts).
A few minutes altogether.

Don’t try again for a few hours once done.

My steering wheel will not calibrate nor will my phone save changes over IP/Wifi - what reset are you recommending and what is the actual reset procedure?

These procedures are clearly spelled out in the owner's manual as well.

Where is this dang .50 update!!??
I'm checking every hour. My dang mirrors don't fold on lock anymore even though it's selected as such

It isn't out yet. www.rivian.software

The procedure to fix steering wheel calibration that has failed 20/20 times? Or the Phone not being able to send certain commands to the Rivian via the iOS app but everything else works?

Perhaps you can point me to those sections?

Or perhaps soft vs hard vs comm module vs any other resets others may know about on the forum?

Anyway, very helpful comment. lol.

Did the hard reset work for you?

About to leave on roadtrip to Tahoe for for the long weekend. I know a hard reset is safe, but superstition and a career in tech has left me thinking best to troubleshoot when back minus two teenage kids, dog, and partner, and in safety of my own garage and beer if needed. I’ll let you know next week. Really want to avoid a service visit. The last one had the Rivian for multiple weeks.

Anyone get App version 2.5.1? Mines stills shows 2.5.0 and most of the time the app is updated weeks before the software update is pushed.

If it helps with stress levels, I did one 2 days ago with my 5yo in the car. And I did it mainly just to do it ? It’s much closer to resetting your phone than anything else. But you do it the way you prefer.

Software Version 2023.50
Scheduled Drive
You can now create schedules in the new Climate Schedule panel in the center display (or in the Rivian mobile app version 2.5.1 or higher) to precondition the vehicle cabin and the high-voltage battery before planned drives. For example, in cold climates, you can schedule your vehicle to warm up before an anticipated departure time. Go to Fan > Schedule in the center display to create as many schedules as you need–ones for different days of the week or even multiple schedules for the same day.

• Set the desired days and times of departure, cabin temperature, seat heat or vent, and steering wheel heat.
• If you have Time-of-Use program with your utility company, you can opt to draw power directly from the grid outside of the set Charge Schedule (only if the vehicle is plugged into a charger).

Additionally, for consistent drive performance, you can now keep your vehicle plugged in to maintain optimal battery pack condition without impacting range.


Regenerative Brake Assist
The new Regenerative Brake Assist feature improved deceleration performance in cold climates, on long downhills, and in vehicle high states of charge by blending more consistently and seamlessly with standard braking. To disable this feature, go to Settings > Driver+ > Regen Brake Assist.

Automatic Wiper Sensitivity Control
We added the ability to select from three automatic wiper sensitivity levels to suit your preference. Use Auto mode to access these settings.

• When you toggle the wiper switch down to Auto, it changes to the highest sensitivity level.
• Toggle the switch down again in Auto mode to decrease the sensitivity, and then up to increase it.

Instead of toggling, you can also hold the wiper switch up to jump to Storm, or hold the wiper switch down to jump to Auto. When you jump down to Auto, it recalls your previously selected sensitivity setting.

Improved Auto-Hold Performance For Snow Mode
Improved the consistency and the performance of auto-hold in snow and grade conditions.

Additional Improvements

• Improved vehicle maneuverability at low speeds.
• Improved throttle control when in Reverse.
• Redesigned the in-vehicle Owner’s Guide to improve navigation and searchability.
• Fixed a Navigation issue in trip overview mode that prevented zooming and following when traveling from the current location to a destination.
• Fixed a Navigation issue that caused the map orientation to change when you switched between apps.
• Fixed an issue that caused the keyboard to disappear when you typed in a Wi-Fi password.
• Fixed an issue that caused Bluetooth media to shut off after a vehicle software update and during sleep and wake cycles.

Still waiting. Haven’t received any update yet

Rivian, in the past couple of updates anyways, pushed the app onto the the smartphone before releasing the firmware.

I do not have 2.5.1 (still on 2.5.0) so I am not expecting the vehicle firmware update until the phone app is the version needed for the 2023.50.0.

Are we there yet? I gotta go potty.
