2023.10.0 software update OTA released. Includes Tesla Supercharger network option and 12v battery draining issue fix

[momo3605]

Highway Assist will no longer have hands on nag in low speed traffic situations?

maybe similar to BMWs extended traffic jam assist? But that has a specified limit of 40mph

The release notes are pretty vague about this here

Is there an official way to send software bugs to the Rivian team?

They’ve got plenty of bugs already. We should send them fixes!

To be more serious, the best thing to do is file a service ticket Is what I’ve been told by the Rivian folks.

If they ever open source their code, I'd be happy to contribute!

I have been away since late last week and left it plugged in at 70%. Told my wife no way are we taking it to airport with current state of 12v affairs. She rolled eyes and reluctantly agreed we take her Rubicon. So...just crossing fingers it isn't dead yet. Seems to be alive when I check in on it. I just found some wood and knocked on it....

Kick on your steering wheel heat to wake it up and give it something to think about instead of just drain the 12v

I have been out of the country a week now and will be back to the house this weekend. I haven't seen any trouble yet. I am also 14k miles in, there is speculation the 12v could be related to some of the new ones rolling off the line this year...who knows! We will never...

UPDATE: I say that, and then check my Rivian app to find...not amused!

Next UPDATE: Rivian confirmed they could not see the truck either, it had definitely not checked in for over 70hrs when it was all said and done. I got home, opened Rivian app and it synced right up via Bluetooth and it was online for my wife's phone also. So bizarre...it's like it had to have a PAAK signal to wake the cell. While I was out of town I had my brother stop by, unlock the truck, sit in it and press the brake and it was drive ready...yet that still did not wake up the communications of the truck... both wifi and LTE did not check in after that. Weird for sure.

Next UPDATE: Take that back, I am only connected with Bluetooth. If I am out of BT range it shows 80hrs since last synced. Will follow up with Rivian this morning.

Not really.

Some people have been told to tell their guide. When I tried that I felt like it was just being "round-filed".

Some people have been told to create service tickets. I have done this but have since been told (by service) to "please stop".

I have also emailed details to the customerservice AT rivian address.

I bet they are pulling logs anytime there is a fault on any vehicle, we are just the annoying human that calls stuff in

Why is everyone so hard up for a dash cam? I never even considered this as a priority. Not trying to be rude just wondering what I'm missing.

Because most people drive like toolbags and it could be the difference between a fight with insurance companies or an easy time if you're not at fault.

Spend 10 minutes here: https://www.youtube.com/c/dashcamlessons

and another 5 minutes here: https://www.reddit.com/r/dashcamgifs/

... and then come back and tell us what brand dashcam you are buying for your other cars and how much you wish Rivian would turn theirs on

So what's the consensus on this version? I'm on the version prior to last because I was scared to update to the prior due to the 12V issues. It's running just fine, so I see no need to update just yet other than I don't want to fall too far behind...

I was almost T-boned my someone running a red light and was able to avoid it by sheer luck. Without the cam, it becomes a he said/she said. Dash cam would save many owners headache and potentially huge sums of money. The sooner the better.

Dashcam + valet mode will help with feeling warm and snuggly driving around town and leaving my truck with the 16 y.o. valet who just got their drivers license.

Same as you: I'm on the version prior to 2023.6.2/5 and I'm holding off until the 2023.10.0 shows up. Truck is running fine, so no need to chance it.

My update-

yesterday my truck was dead. Turns out it was the 12v issue.

Rivian was super great and sent someone out on his way home from the service center. He had it fixed in about 45 minutes after all said and done.

just hoping this update gets out asap. He did mention he’s seen these multiple times this week and gave a tip that if you notice any signs of your 12v dying (ie: slow handles, screen flicker, not going into drive or reverse, etc) that you can do a hard reset and it should reengage the 12v battery to get the truck giving it juice again.

 

[Jayhawkeye]

Is the hard reset safe and a standard troubleshooting activity?

Agreed, not to be rude either.
