Update rant

[cjbot3000]

Instead of using the current format (2025.xx)

Just identify the updtates as "new stuff+ reintroduction-of-software-bugs-that-were-solved-last-year"

Every

Effing

Time

Here's my list of things that were resolved with updates and then reintroduced with later updates, sometimes repeatedly:

- PaaK 3-5 times. Every time PaaK is working smoothly, the next update is sure to bork it back a year (again)
- infotainment reboots into a loop by itself, mid-drive
- courtesy wipe on shift to drive

There are surely more but those are the ones that stand out as particularly infuriating. How is it even possible to CONSISTENTLY reintroduce previously fixed bugs sometimes several times!? I get that it can happen, but something every time!?

Currently I'm dealing with the mid-drive self-reboot loop from a a few updates ago that has made a resurrection to make the jeebus blush

WTF Rivian.

- courtesy wipe on shift to drive

This is probably not a bug. On occasion the rain sensor needs to calibrate, which it does with a single wipe. Lots of cars will do this on start up

(That said, my R1S does this WAYYY less frequently than any other vehicle I've owned)

It's every time. Not sometimes in order to calibrate. It's. Every. Time. It was like that when new, went away once or twice for longer periods after updates, now it's back as of either this most recent update or the one before - I lose track at this point.

For the record: I LOVE the engagement from Rivian, the content of the updtates, and the frequency.

Have you considered that there's something wrong with your windshield, like a chip or crack or the sensor itself is misaligned? I don't think the rest of us are experiencing this issue.

Agreed, mine does this maybe once in every 15 times I get in the truck, and it’s outside all the time so the sensors are dirty or have rain/ice on them half the time.

The infotainment reset mid drive I have only ever had happen twice. It is frustrating and weird, but I wonder why it’s happening so often on your end. Has service looked into it?

I've never seen any of this. I continue to be impressed with the features that are released.

Do you live in a dusty environment? The wipers do this for me but only during high pollen season if parked outside. The sensors see pollen as rain. Just a thought.

Huh, when I got mine last July it was doing the one-sweep-of-wipers each time I put it in drive if the wipers were on automatic. I just assumed that was by design. At some point (last year?) it stopped, and it's not doing it now, but it used to.

The thing I've noticed recently is when I put it in Park, it only unlocks the driver's door. This is really annoying when I pull out of the garage to stop and let my wife in (we have a tiny 1-car detached garage at the moment). It's annoying too when I get home and want to unload something from the back or passenger seats to find the truck has only unlocked my door and none of the others. Is this just me, or is there a setting for this? Or is this the new normal in 2025.06?

The other annoying thing (not 2025.06 related - it's been this way since day 1), is that the sensitivity on the blinker stalk is just nuts. It should be that a 1/2 pull in either direction cancels the other direction (if active) or gives you 3 binks, and a full pull (or anything more than 1/2) gives you constant blinking in that direction until you make a serious turn or cancel it.

When changing lanes I've found it's very difficult to get the 1/2 pull effect. Anything more than about 1/8 or 1/16 pull will put my truck into continuous blink mode. I'll be driving down the road telling everyone behind me "I'm going to change lanes left... no, right... oops, I meant left... just kidding, really it's right..." before finally getting it canceled. This is with very conscious and deliberate effort on my part to move the damn stalk just a tiny bit. It's insanely oversensitive.

Can any of this be adjusted, or is everyone seeing this and it's just Rivian-normal with 2025.06?

Unlock all doors or only unlock the driver's door is a setting - you can change that.
My R1T has a very distinct difference between partial and full pull on the blinker lever - the amount of force to go beyond half pull is very obvious. There may be something wrong with yours.

It happened to me a couple of days ago - it rebooted once while I was driving on the interstate. That was the first time in the 2+ years and 37k miles I've owned my 2022 R1T. I am so glad that I had read about it on these forums, so it didn't freak me out.

Thanks! I'll look for the door unlock setting and put in a service request on the blinker lever. I know the force point you're speaking of and agree it's easy to feel that. I only wish that was the point at wish the full blink kicked in.

Bummer to hear about all the issues. Echoing others though in that I don't see any of those issues. My wipers go once on startup... very rarely. I can't really put a number to it but it's rare enough that I don't think about it. I've had one bootloop while driving in 26k miles. The locking one is a quick fix as others have pointed out in settings.

Ditto on the turn signal stalk, there's a lot I don't like about it but physically it's always very clear to me what level of depth I'm actioning.
