Thank jeebus. Not sure if it was a mistake, or if they changed course on that limitation But good news, nonetheless!
- Dropped the note restricting power seat adjustment to under 5 km/h.
So, do we need to chock the wheels when changing a rear one then???
- New Note: The electronic park brake is only on the rear wheels. There is an increased risk of rolling when replacing a rear tire.
Every vehicle I can think of has the e-brake only clamp the rear wheels. This isn't unique to Rivian.So, do we need to chock the wheels when changing a rear one then???
I think you missed this part, adjustments are only available in park....Thank jeebus. Not sure if it was a mistake, or if they changed course on that limitation But good news, nonetheless!
I read that as being different.I think you missed this part, adjustments are only available in park....
- New Note: Automatic seat and steering wheel adjustments aren’t available when the vehicle isn’t in Park.
So my drive coach at the first mile event related a story to me. When you first get in, they make sure you have the seat adjusted properly, you can reach the steering wheel with your back up against the seat and feet can reach the pedals.I read that as being different.
For example, my vehicle lets me do one-touch adjustments if I'm not driving. Push the memory button once and the servos do their thing until they get to the right position. If I'm driving I can still make adjustments and even change memory positions, but I have to HOLD the button until it gets where I want it. The "automatic" portion is disabled while driving.
A solution for a problem that doesn't exist, imo.My guess is to prevent something similar while driving, inadvertent changing of the seat position that would prevent access to the wheel/pedals. Think if something falls down the side and jams against the buttons. I can't say I've tried this with my Ram.
There is a new revision of the R1T manual - 10/27/21 - Software Version 2021.43.0

There were several minor changes and the following items of note:
- Added:
- Alexa section (and Alexa references throughout)
- Alexa is activated by a long press on the left side thumb control
I previously received this response from Rivian on the topic:I wonder if it will allow you to ask alexa to play music from your Prime Music Playlist just like you can on other Alexa enabled devices.......
This seems so clunky lolYou'll have access to audio streaming with Spotify, TuneIn and Alexa-powered Amazon Music + Audible. (Meaning you can access Amazon Music + Audible, but only through Alexa voice requests, not the infotainment UI.
So...I guess that means they won't have any sort of HomeLink equivalent functionality. That's disappointing.
