Check out these new features, improvements, and bug fixes found in Rivian Update 2023.46

Highway Assist – Auto Reengagement After Lane Change
Highway Assist now automatically reengages after you change lanes.

• While Highway Assist is active, use your turn signal and then change lanes.
• When you center the vehicle in the new lane, the turn signal turns off and Highway Assist reengages automatically.

Navigation – Add Stops Along Your Route
You can now add multiple stops along your route and during trip planning for a customized navigation experience. Also, you can use the Rivian mobile app and Google Maps to send a multi-stop trip directly to your vehicle.

• Before you go or during active navigation guidance, on the center display, choose Open to open your Trip Details with the option to Add Stop.
• During active guidance, choose Add to add your next stop
• There are multiple ways to edit your trip:
  • Swipe to remove a stop, or choose Delete when you are editing your trip.
  • Drag to reorder stops.
  • Choose Edit at the top of the Trip Details screen to edit your trip.
• You can also add charging stops, which are shown as lightning bolts on the map. Select a charging location and choose Add Stop.

Mobile – Add Stops And Save Trips
Now with the Rivian mobile app 2.5.0 and later, you can plan multi-stop trips in advance, save them, and send them to your vehicle.

• To access these features in the mobile app, go to the Explore tab.
• Go to the map to create a trip or choose Add in the Saved Trips section.
• Choose Save to add a trip to your saved trips.
• You can now add stops to a trip by choosing Add stop.
  • Drag-and-drop to reorder stops.
  • You can also swipe left to remove a saved trip.

Clear Vehicle Settings
For your privacy, Clear Settings removes personal information and preferences from your vehicle. It also reverts user settings to default factory settings.

• To access this feature on the center display, go to Settings > Service > Clear Settings.
• To learn more about transferring vehicle ownership, scan the QR code in the Clear Settings screen.

Service Mode
Service Mode makes it easier for service technicians to perform maintenance on your vehicle. On the center display, go to Settings > Service > Service Mode.

Additional Improvements

• Charging
  • Fixed an issue with the vehicle restarting scheduled charging after it was manually stopped.
  • Fixed an issue in which a charge session shows as completed before reaching the user-defined charge limit.
• To avoid splashing passengers when entering or exiting the vehicle, now the front wipers temporarily pause while the vehicle is in Park and either front door is open. Wipers resume when the doors are closed.
• Fixed a rare instance in which the Brake Region button in Drive Modes didn’t display setting options.
• Fixed an issue in which the center display showed an incorrect screen when exiting seat calibration.
• Fixed a rare issue in which the vehicle location in the Navigation app inaccurately jumps forward when the vehicle is slowing to a stop.
• Fixed a rare issue in which the Mobile app incorrectly shows the doors as open and the range as zero.
• Infotainment
  • Fixed an issue on the center display in which the phone panel didn’t disappear after ending a call.
  • Fixed an issue in which the Play button on the Media panel doesn’t respond when the queue is empty.
  • Fixed an issue in which, after restarting the software, the Radio panel is blank until you select a radio station.
  • Fixed a rare issue in which declining to sync contacts during Bluetooth pairing doesn’t dismiss the Loading contacts message.

Alleluia I’ve been waiting for auto reingagement of driver+ since I bought the T in Aug 2022. My number one improvement request.

Sure, I do get that. And we all do distracting things when we drive, myself included. I never text, but I have taken the occasional hands free call if it’s something important (then try to find a place to park to finish the convo). Even messing with music choices or switching from the nav screen to the gauge view all fall into that category. One thing that I wish Rivian would do is allow for adjusting the HVAC fan speed without having to go into the full HVAC menu.

I had a job for about 12 years where I put about 50k miles on my vehicles per year, driving to all my accounts in CO/ WY/ KS/ NE/ NM then from NYC all the way down to DC. I had some close calls doing all that driving so I became really aware of how quickly things can go sideways. Especially in CO or WY deer or other animals just come out of nowhere on the road in front of you. I also saw people doing all kinds of crazy stuff while trying to drive their cars. Shaving, make up, reading newspapers, even eating salads or pasta!

We all do something, but I know I don’t want to be too distracted when the maniac salad eater in the lane next to me loses control of their vehicle ?

Alexa can do most of the HVAC settings. I just started using it but can turn it on and off, adjust fan speeds, set temps, adjust third row fans, etc. I have not exhausted the extent of what it controls but seems everything I normally was using the HVAC screen for it is able to do.

Yeah, I should just start using it. It's funny - I love technology but I hate talking to it ?‍

Maybe they will enable a holiday “Krampus” mode? Would be fun for the kids ?

[NineElectrics]

I’m able to remember most of the time with the chaos of kids and everything. Guess you’ll just have to wait for your specific solution. Hopefully it will be coming soon.

One solution is to buy almost literally any other EV. Timer preconditioning is like the very first feature they all implemented. Only the Kia EV9 or EX90 are realistic contenders for me though, and neither are out yet.

If Rivian were a furnace company, they would deliver me an iPhone app with a giant “HEAT NOW” button instead of a thermostat…

Easy enough for me to do this by going off the motor noise.

Hmm I'll give that a try on my way to work. Have been waiting to put winter tires on to get rid of some AT tire noise but I've been afraid I'm mostly hearing motors.

Thanks for the suggestion

This will also fix the current bug that prevents techs from changing the tire configuration that was brought in with the most RECENT update to fix the infotainment issue that was caused by the OTHER update.

Just got the 42 update notice. A bit scared to do while on vacation travelling. Rivian chat said okay to skip and wait for the 46 update, but he didn't recommend it.

Are there a lot of you waiting and planning to skip the 42 update?

From what I have seen I do not think you can actually “skip” it. I think it will be required before the next update will be prompted. I had a loaner that was 3 back and I applied them, only prompted one at a time and in order.

If you’re traveling in the Rivian I’d wait. If it’s just at home then not as big a deal.

I was 3,000 miles away from home, traveling with ours, when the first update bricked my infotainment, so it was a stressful 48 hours waiting for the fix.

I was planning to skip. But on the fence a little as time goes by.

I hope this means that the truck will map the Google-calculated route and not the Rivian/MapBox/Drunk Uncle calculated route. I doubt it but one can dream.

 

[R1Ser]

The 42 update is fine, I was one of the un-affected, and I just recently updated. It installed.

Also, my $0.02 - the thing with software updates is that they are always incremental, so, if there is an issue with 42, you're most likely going to get it with 46, unless it's fixed completely. Rivian has fixed this, and the 42 updates are safe now.

I understand the skepticism behind the update though.

 

[Shnork]

ive been waiting on the 42 update cant afford to have my vehicle bricked , may be next week . i did figure the updates would need to be sequential i dont think you would be able to skip an update.

When the trip planner was first released in the app, I thought that it would work this way, but then the truck would completely ignore the stops. I like the analogy to a drunk uncle. Hopefully it really works this time and is not another tease.
