Software Update 2024.07
Navigation Improvements To Ease Your Travels
We’ve improved navigation performance and usability on the center display:

• Improved route selection and estimated time of arrival (ETA).
• Faster rerouting guidance when the vehicle diverges from the current route.
• Different route line colors to clearly indicate the legs of a route.
• Enhanced map styles to better convey higher map titles and different map orientations.
• Improved stability and map rendering performance.
• Updated the maximum number of added stops to 10 during trip planning.

Room Entry And Exit Enhancements
We’ve improved the roomy entry and exit experience:

• The automatic movement of the seat and steering wheel is now more consistent after you enter an unlocked vehicle that was asleep.
• The seat and steering wheel now continue to automatically adjust when you use the steering wheel controls to change the volume, answer a phone call, or open a garage door.
• You can quickly stop the automatic movement of the seat and steering wheel by pressing the leftmost thumb control button on the left side of the steering wheel (or any side seat control).
• The seat and steering now automatically adjust when you unfasten the driver seat belt or open the driver-side door after you press the Park button, but before the vehicle shifts into Park.

Vehicle Launch In The Province Of Quebec
Rivian is now launching vehicles in the province of Quebec in Canada.


Additional Improvements

• For the Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS), the vehicle now shows the last known tire pressure readings on the Gauge View in the Drive Modes app.

• For defrost or defog, increased airflow at the proper temperature to quickly clear the windshield while keeping the cabin climate comfortable during cold weather conditions.
• With the Rivian mobile app version 2.7.0 or later, the trip planner now accounts for towing, allowing you to select one of the Trailer Profiles defined in-vehicle.
• Estimated charging costs now appear on the center and driver displays when you start charging using the Rivian mobile app or Plug & Charge.
• Improved the accuracy of the estimated remaining time for an active Climate Schedule.
• You can now save minor seat position adjustments to your drive profile.
• To prevent inadvertent changes from the key fob or Rivian mobile app:
  • The windows won’t go up or down while the vehicle is in Drive, Reverse, or Car Wash mode.
  • The vehicle won’t lock or unlock while it is in Drive or Reverse.
• Improved the smoothness of reengaging Highway Assist after a lane change.
• Fixed a rare issue in which the navigation notification on the center display incorrectly showed the battery as critically low.
• Fixed an intermittent issue in which the overhead lights didn’t turn on if you opened a door while the vehicle was asleep.
• Infotainment:
  • Fixed an issue that prevented the Library tab from initially loading media in Spotify.
  • Fixed a rare issue that caused Spotify to load a previous user’s playlists.
  • Fixed a rare issue in which the icons on the driver display incorrectly switched between day and night modes.
  • Fixed a rare issue that caused an emergency phone call using the Phone app to fail.
• Made stability improvements to the backup camera view.
• Improved the 12 V battery notification and recovery if the charge on the battery is very low.

Hopefully they can have the radio window auto hide when on the maps. It auto hides on every other screen but won’t auto hide when on navigation screen. Yes it’s a small thing but annoying. And I know it’s an easy fix. Also please add the clock to the center drivers screen don’t like having to look all the way over to top right of main screen for safety reasons. Yes I know it’s a small ask and not important to some but it would be nice to make it easier to check time while on the road

Does anyone know if the kifegate and frunk buttons are locked out while moving? I hope so

 

[Engineer]

Will be interesting to find out if this fixes the mode change problems some have experienced.

^ this.

Nothing like having the camera freeze right when you need it most.

 

[Sgt Beavis]

Some nice updates. Nothing Earth shattering but still nice updates.
That said, where are our subscription services? I’d like Rivian to reduce the cash hemoraging and they have to be paying for everyone’s ATT connection, at a minimum. Let’s get that revenue source moving guys.

<obligatory> Oh, and still no CarPlay, Google Maps, Apple Music, Waze…. ? </obligatory>

 

[Redline]

Another solid update.

I get a feeling we might get entertainment in the next one....

 

[NineElectrics]

Like it! This is one of Rivians serious advantages to alot of legacy offerings.

Yes, you can sell the car before it is finished!

I see a lot of rookie bugs fixed here, introduced presumably by cheap, junior developers. I don't really want that kind of code in my car.

 

[RayzorBEV]

Still no tire temperature readout ?

 

[R1Tkc]

Another solid update.

I don’t have much faith that we’ll get entertainment or blind spot cam updates anytime in the first three quarters of this year

With the Rivian mobile app version 2.7.0 or later, the trip planner now accounts for towing, allowing you to select one of the Trailer Profiles defined in-vehicle

All good updates, but it’d be nice if the team could come up with an analogous wheel profiles, to switch out wheels without needing to require a service and pay $$$.

If they want to charge us money, that they apparently need, via subscriptions, I think they should prioritize these features.

 

[jollyroger]

I hope that an update in the near future will include turn signal camera display. Really helps keep my eyes facing the front in dense traffic areas.

 

[BCondrey]

This is all good stuff.

 

[Eric9610]

Another update and no departure charging! This is not hard to implement and very needed.

It's all perspective. I have mine for almost 2 years and have enjoyed it the entire time and it keeps getting better. At least the first vehicle I have owned I can say that about, at least where I wasn't paying for upgraded things....
