I definitely prefer the look of the old map on the "gauge cluster," but other than that, I can't wait for this update!
SAME!!!
Same! I prefer the old map on the driver’s display
I'm waiting on the update now!
I don't think you understand how excited I get when I see a new vid notification for your channel.
It makes me very happy to hear this ❤️
The new HVAC controls are great - the A/B preset is helpful, but the new heated/ventilated seat toggle is game changing.
100%
Did they change the fan sensitivities at all? Sometimes I feel like minimum fan setting is still too intense.
@Rossn8er not that I noticed
Great job!
Cannot wait to get the update!!!!
Looks awesome!
Thanks for the great video. cant wait for my R1S to get this update!
Blind spot camera's! 🎉
Great overview - thank you!
Thx for sharing the update videos. Are the efficiency info numbers still blocked whilst on a phone call?
His name isn’t Gear Guard…it’s Gary.
Gary is unofficial 😅
I sure hope they fixed the bugs in the routing. Thanks for the video.
Nice review. I was thinking that casting was going to be available as well. Also hoping for some better apps. Thank you.
Got the update on my R1S. will try it next week.
What happened to the set temperature? Did it show numbers anywhere?
Great update, Thanks!!
Thanks for watching!
Thanks Jose! Which watch band are you rocking in the video?
Great video Jose
Thanks 👍
Yee haw!!
Thank you for this, brother!
My pleasure!
Recently I got a flat tire and the general tire shop refused to touch it. Saying we need special lift pucks blah blah. The r1s doesn’t come with pucks. Is there a safe way/tutorial on how to get the tires changed without needing these special lift pucks? Also is there a proper setting to set when lifting the car to change one tire? Again when you pulled over in a random tire shop it’s not the time to research all the requirements when time is tight and the store is getting impatient. Thanks!!
I need more content like this in my life.
Me too haha
Any update on Google cast?
As of 2pm 6/30 I still haven't received the new update. Is it still rolling out?
Jose, thank you for the walk-through, greatly appreciated. Hey one question I had thought A/C like quad ventilation was coming or maybe tri ventilation rather than say just front and rear. I thought they were gonna try and do something more? I guess not.
Rivian has said it’s coming but not available just yet
I LOVE these new graphics! So damn cool and original. Cannot wait for it to arrive on mine! Also, are the side mirrors heated?! I had no idea! Texas life I guess.
Same haha
Yay! 🎉
Nice vid, gracias!
The UI showed a black T, not red. Is that expected?
My actual truck is black, I just wrapped it red!
10:29 I think there's only one camera, the fender "camera" I think is an ultrasonic sensor to let you know how close the side of your vehicle is to objects.
Can't wait for R2 man 😊
Great video, do you know by any chance if the kneel mode is still available since i could not find it?
Yes it’s still there
Any word on when Apple Music will be added?
Looks great! I was hoping for the entertainment system improvements as well. Guess we have to wait.
Me too!
Yeah I had expected it to be this update, maybe only on gen 2 vehicles?
Probably not because the displays on the gen 1 vehicles are good enough for the video quality
What about the TH-cam feature? Casting? Not yet?
Any improvements to the Driver+ system?
None in this update
No clock on driver display yet?
Thanks for the video. 👍 I may be old school but why is it so difficult to put something as basic as the odometer and trip meters on the main driver screen? I love my truck but they have a knack for not doing the most basic things in the beginning. Like automatically switching backup cameras when the tailgate is down and making what should be the toughest trim piece on the whole truck (tailgate protector) actually tough.
There is a mode in settings in the Driver + section that allows the car to change the back up camera when the tailgate is down. The mode is in a part called automatic cameras in Driver plus section
@@Breadue Yes, you missed the "in the beginning" part. This should have been day 1.
A video tutorial on how to properly get the car towed in a flat tire situation. Recently we had a flat and didn’t want to use the inflator and goop. AAA showed up and it was very time consuming, and challenging under a time crunch to research and follow any necessary tow instructions, what mode to set it to, what parking setting to set to etc.
Looks like it went from lane departure warning to lane keep assist.
So jealous. Been following Rivian since day 1 but we can’t get it in the UK. Have to settle for hiring it when we go to Canada. Really bizarre though at the 9min mark, there’s a grey car right in front of you, closer than the one on the drive and it didn’t pick it up 😮
wow this is so cool!!!! how exciting!!!!
Does the brake pedal use regen or when you press the brake pedal does it only actuate the calipers for friction brakes?
There’s an option in the settings to use friction breaks if your regen is low or battery is full
@@riviantrackr I probably didn't ask that question well, Im curious if when you are in low regen setting and you touch the brakes does the system give more regen first and then apply friction brakes once regen is done to bring you to complete stop or does the brake pedal instantly apply friction brakes. I am asking because on my lightning I do not use 1 pedal driving because the brake pedal actually does all the regen first and I can control it with pedal pressure and then the friction brakes only apply in emergency braking or at the very end to bring vehicle to complete stop.
@darinbrazil5496 oh yes very little regen and more brakes
Anything about 4 zone climate or three zone climate settings?
Mabye in a future update?
@RivianTrackr: 1) Thanks for this video, very informative and awesome presentation..Rivian might provide a link to this video in their website :) 2) Do you know when this update will be hitting to all audience? 3) Is there any software update coming to change the color of the ambiance lighting?
So no changes at all yet to the audio/entertainment screen?
Not yet
Love your videos! ♥️ Overhead light brightness control has been there for a while, just so you know! :)
Thanks for the clarification :)
Did they add google Cast on this update?
No, that should come in a future update. I was also hoping it would come in this one
I wish Rivian would adjust the contrast setting on the blindspot cameras. Make the settings a little bit brighter, it would greatly help visibility. Overall great job Rivian. Just few more features needed to make it a complete vehicle, add texting on the infotainment and a internet browser (possible chrome browser, since they already have partnership with google).
I agree - blind spot camera is too dark and difficult to see objects in video view.
Nice video! Is this a gen1 or gen2 rivian?
Gen1 and thank you!
Missing the turn cameras from my Tesla , looks like a huge update
Sure wish I could get my update.
Still waiting 😐
2024.11 was 4/15. Almost 2 and a half months ago! This is forever in Rivian update time
Exactly!
Week 11 was mid March and we got it a month later
They skipped week 15
Week 19 is first week of May and we got it 2 months later.
Hopefully this is just because of the complete new refresh and wanting to align with the Gen 2 vehicle release
Next question is how long do we wait till the update servers push it out to everyone since we don't all get it the same time.
Would have been better if they added the HVAC fan speed control on the main screen bottom for easier use
I had the update waiting for me and it was asking for my key fob to be present. I went upstairs to get the key fob and….the update disappeared. I try resetting and nothing🤷🏻♂️
Ohhhh window of opportunity missed....
So jealous you get the betas! lol I’ve been checking everyday
FWIW, ride height has always been displayed on the binnacle cluster. One thing that has always annoyed me about that is that the all-purpose setting with auto-ride-height select will show the "high" bar as though it's an option, I'm very curious to know under what conditions auto-ride-height would ever actually select that option? I really wish there was an option to make the truck always return to high. oh well..
But now it says the drive height
I really like they went back to labeling the the different modes compared to just having the icons
Cool. Your tire pressure seems high. Don't want to blow through a tire. Good Video.
I’m running LT tires which require higher PSI
@@riviantrackrhow do you like the tires so far compared to OEM? Trying to figure out what I’ll be getting next.
@TJPavey Love them! I went with the Nokian Outpost NAT, I have a video on them and over 9k miles on them with no regrets
@@riviantrackr ohhhh sorry
Your tire pressure is at 59 psi?!!
You know you can dismiss the Garage Door prompt using the buttons on the right side of your steering wheel.
Haha you know I did know that but when recording this I went blank
is there a reason your truck appears black in the menus since it's red?
He wrapped his truck red. Originally it was the color shown from the factory
I know it’s not everyone cup of tea but I love the new cellshaded design they went with
100%
What about the turn signal indicator change? Is that on the display or the actual lights?
What do you mean?
@@riviantrackr it was in an earlier build but it looks like they removed it for whatever reason.
Can you elaborate on what the feature was?
“We enhanced the look of the turn signal indicators so they are more visible and easier to notice.”
@juustjoshin Oh! They made them bolder and more green and it no longer is just an outline but a fully colored arrow
love the new update. but almost 2 years since they showed us the interior lights were RGB and a complete new UI experiance and they still have not given us RGB control of the interior lights :(
Maybe I need to see it in person. Right now, I’m not looking forward to the updated UI graphics.
It’s really nice!
I used to live in Hawksmoor! Hi neighbor!
Hey!!
I have not seen in my R1S ,....Is it aviable for evreyone?,
Slowly rolling out for everyone
My guess, the 8 hour delay for SW updates is a checksum verification on the code. Last thing Rivian wants to do is brick your vehicle because the downloaded code is missing a few bits.
Why do you receive updates so soon?
Rivian sent me this one so I could review it early
1. Would be nice to have a microphone button next to keyboard inside the map search screen (yes I know I can use Alexa)
2. Would be nice to have an option to have gear guard start recording when horn is honked. Don't care for the animation of the stupid bear recording on his camcorder, would prefer something like the red eye animation like Tesla.
No launch Mode?
Not yet
What about the camp mode where the screen turns almost infrared to cut down on bright lights in the night?
Cell shading animation makes me want to go play Borderlands for nostalgia sake.😅
Yup!
VW Rivian 💪🚀
RiVWian?
Still no Sirius XM
What happened to the Car Wash Mode?
It’s still there under Vehicle > Shortcuts
@@riviantrackr Thanks for the reply. Finding the shortcuts easy!
@burgesskay57 I love them!
What about netflix or casting?
Hopefully will come in a future update
I only care if it fixes the screen lag that has gotten worse and worse over updates.
You have a CR T, but screen shows a Black T, you have a wrap?
Yup! My R1T was originally Midnight Black and I wrapped it satin red :)
The interaction with the 3D vehicle animation is laggy to be honest. I don't find myself enjoying moving it around. It just irritates me seeing the lag
Thats what i'm concerned about as well, I'd rather have a fast responsive UI than a bunch of animations slowing things down.
Just a note to the editor - the intro music is really loud relative to his voice
Noted, thank you
All these bells and whistles and still no software lockers :-(
When will the update hit still waiting
It has been rolling out, make sure you are connected to Wi-Fi as it will be prioritized with that.
@@riviantrackr both are still nothing. Ha
Is apple music coming soon?
This Summer
No drag strip mode 😢
Not yet
Doesn’t seem to show up on my truck yet?!?
Wait til August. Its still betta testing.
@UncleAlpha1 It’s rolling out now.
@@riviantrackr checked again this morning. Nothing
@@Keith.Vieirathey do these updates in batches so it may not happen until tomorrow
Apple Music?
Not yet
Where is the video feature!!? Uugghh
No Apple Music?
Not yet
@@riviantrackr awesome, I thought that would only be on gen 2
Any word on TH-cam or Netflix.
No Netflix or media apps....... This is crazy that we can't watch something while we charge. Good vid as always Jose.
Google Casting coming very soon
@@riviantrackr won't this ability come with the connect+, or whatever they are calling it, subscription in August-ish?
Just mount an ipad on watch anytime
Thanks Jose, great job as always
There is a phone app bro
Installed it on mine yesterday. Have not looked into it in detail. Sure, some really good things, but cutting to the chase: somebody in the Rivian software department perhaps had too much free time and got carried away with this upgrade:
1. Rivian, I do not think I need to have the now forever message displayed on driver screen telling me what drive mode I am using. Burned in by now. Reaching out to main display, one click, I could have found that out. Do not need the reminder.
2. Each time I get in, new message on console: press brake pedal to start. Seriously, Rivian?
You think that we needed a reminder on what all of us already know full well?
What's next, Rivian, another message on display screen telling me to grab latch on door to open door also?
3. Ugly truly is on the eye. Those hideous, those nasty ugly new depictions of my R1S on the main display. So infantile looking, so very cartoonish looking, so ugly.
Thanks Jose. New UI is interesting but it doesn’t add needed new functionality. Blind spot is great. After waiting 2+ months, this update is a disappointment in terms of the quantity of much needed new features and functions, which is a recurring pattern this year.
Better HVAC controls, presets, launch mode, better UI, better front screen use, better maps, better search, blind spot cameras, TH-cam expansion, Tesla network, free adapters, Apple Music, ride improvements, all while building Gen 2 and R2/3. 🤦 Smh man some people will never be happy I guess.
@@Magnus_Magnesiumhaha
@@Magnus_Magnesium I believe the poster is referring to what actually has been delivered and benefits current owners today. Many of the items you reference haven’t been released to Gen1 owners - launch control, TH-cam, Apple, etc. A new UI isn’t of much value without needed features behind it. The vent control A/B is nice but should have been part of improving driver profiles such as saving seat positions. In most cars, thats a simple press of a button, but with Rivian it’s cumbersome and requires a different account on the phone app to even have a second seat position. He did state he likes the blind spot. Many owners are buying third party adapters because the free ones are still months away. After 2+ years on the market, there as some gaping holes in Rivian’s software I’m surprised still exist. As an owner, I agree that while Rivian has made some nice improvements this year, their pace needs to get a lot better. has
The light brightness is not new to the best of my knowledge
Yeah seems like I didn't pay close attention to that
@@riviantrackr small mistake vs your great Rivian coverage
I don’t understand people being impressed with graphics over content/functionality
Why not both?
No TH-cam app yet? Disappointing
Later this summer
Tesla UX is way better. Clean and responsive. Rivian to clutter and comic UX.
It's okay to be wrong.
What’s the point of watching this video if you don’t care for Rivian??
@Breadue on a contrary, I care about rivian hence I watched it. I want rivian to be as good or even better than Tesla
