I've been one of the first and one of the last to get the update.

It's normal.

Leaving for the cabin today, would LOVE to have it before that

Nothing yet…

Yes, it can be. They release to everyone in batches. I've been in the first batch, and other times I've waited several weeks.

That is wild. I've consistently been on day 2. Now watch this jinx my chances this time.

Not sure how the rollout goes, but time or by installs, but if it's installs that's the issue. Lots of downloads not installed and once they are more downloads start.

It's a small subset watching this on Electra Fi and could be nonsense as it could just be a certain amount of vehicles per day can download and doesn't wait for previous group to finish.

Who knows, but I would think Rivian wants this out to everyone to generate some buzz from the community. Especially the suspension upgrade, which feels like it may move the current camp from it sucks to it's better now.

I would hope its not waiting for others to download. If so, there should be a window. 4 hours and you wait till next day etc. Many people are sitting on this waiting for days to make sure there isn't some sort of problem.

I wish we can initiate/request it from our app or the vehicle - need Update Now icon

That is usually the way I do it......when I am notified.

installing as I type this. I would normally wait and am reluctant to lose the current graphics for the cartoons but the improved ride quality is a major motivator for me. I hope it is truly improved as it is my one disappointment with the truck

I agree. Give them a choice to "wait until later" and they will have to wait 24 hours. If they "wait" again, then it is 2 or 3 days. If they "wait" again, it is a week.

Seems like their idea is to keep making the ride harsher and harsher. It's now at the point that the car rattles and squeaks insanely over bad roads like a horse drawn wagon. At least the big clunking is gone though. If the next update does more stiffening, I'm already on the softest setting and can't go more in hopes of having a functional suspension. I guess they are trying to make a sports car suspension like a Porsche out of it. I like that it handles flat and responsive but it's pretty firm and doesn't like rough roads.

I found that it takes longer to get updates over cell. The last few times, weeks after the release I didn't get updates, which was fine with me. I'm in no hurry for buggy updates or a brick. My rear screen doesn't boot sometimes and the UI reboots while driving down the road. Some updates made vampire drain worse. When I'm ready to roll the dice, I turn on WiFi and connect. Within minutes the download says available.

Y'all hurry up and install it do I can get mine in the next round of invites to it.

Does it save the vent settings for the third row when you get back in the vehicle?

Yes, the vents in my bed have their settings kept across all conditions. :-D

Was a pretty substantial update btw... Just looked at my router and saw that for the Rivian it had 4.86GB of usage over 24 hours... So I would 100% think that being on Wifi helps. So far I've been in the first batch for every release except the one after they borked my nav screen with a few others months back.

One other thing I do is wake up the truck via the app on release days a few times while it's in the garage.

I drove about 20 miles with Quad R1S Gen 1 new update. It seems throttle mapping is improved, but a little less aggressive in all purpose mode. The AC controls are much improved. It seems the suspension is a little better in all purpose mode - but I think that a lot of people confuse bouncy suspension with throttle action on the bumps in this car...when we go over bumps our throttle foot moves, which engages regen, then our foot moves because of that, which then causes acceleration and pogo.

Does anyone know if this update fixes the issue of the brake clicking like crazy when driving straight and level with Driver+ engaged?

I am 99% sure I found the clicking is related to the mechanical connection to the brake pedal having some play and the retaining clip is also able to rattle. Under Driver+ the braking system is repeatedly engaging/disengaging on flat roads which slightly moves the brake pedal and makes the noise. I thought is was a relay until I reached my hand under the dash and could feel the brake pedal attachment itself has play as well as the noisy retaining clip. It also makes the noise as the car rolls to a stop and the HOLD prepares to engage.

I just got it in the app which I have refreshed 1000 times in the past couple days. Installing now!

We just had this issue (or I noticed it for the first time) pop up on our road trip last weekend. I found the same on reddit where people said it is the retaining clip on the brake pedal. One person said their clip was in backwards and that was the issue. I put a ticket in on it just in case. I didn't notice it until I was coming home from New Hampshire and it was too early for any music and the kids were asleep and I heard it when I got on the highway, now I can't unhear it.
