Did anyone else catch this in the new Rivian September update newsletter?

New Drive modes? I wonder what UI updates are in store. I wonder!

I saw that as well. Likely what was teased by Wassym during the AMA and what was blurred out in the Rebelle Rally feature.

Ugh, I hope they don't get into a habit of consistent UI upgrades just for the sake of change. Improvement is great, change for the sake of change like we see with so many apps/computers/phones, etc - not so much.

I read that as tweaks/improvements to existing drive modes; not new drive modes. Guess we'll find out.

C'mon track mode

I agree but that needs to be seen.

Let's hope for like a "luxury mode" and take what they botched with the new All-Purpose, and make it that. then put All-Purpose back to how it was.

Dumb question - we’ve had our R1S for about a month now, how do we get on this newsletter list?

We had tweaks in the last update so I would be surprised if they could take the feedback and make changes all within a few weeks.

Blindspot camera?

Yeah, 100%. And perhaps listen to feedback from these Forums, then actually beta-test them for a few weeks before sending them out.

And whilst I'm at it (in case they are listening to us) can we have auto windows up on lock (like Tesla)

Blindspot camera?

This is pretty much the only Tesla feature I miss, or at least the top of a short list

New Drive modes?

Six months of ownership and I still haven't changed my drive mode out of "all purpose". Keep saying one of these days I'm gonna try out "sport mode". But being realistic, I spend hours a day sitting in traffic. Nowhere around here to even use it, LOL. ?

Mine rarely leaves sport mode.

On the right roads, sport mode changes the vehicle into a cornering machine. Wife and baby were away last night, and Rivy looked lonely, so I took it on the Sea to Sky highway between Vancouver and Whistler in the heavy rain... While I wasn't stupid on the route, I did push things a few times and it didn't skip a beat, cornering was excellent, no hints of regen limit.

Good times with Rivy.
