FIRST LOOK - Rivian Drive Modes Reimagined
Переглядів 9 тис.9 місяців тому
The Rivian over-the-air software update (OTA 2023.38.0) is the biggest software change since launch. This update reimagines the drive modes and eliminates "Towing" as a drive mode and instead adds towing info across multiple drive modes. Rivian is also bringing lots of data to the screen making the Rivian feel most like a utility vehicle. #rivian #R1T #R1S

      @RivianDad 27 днів тому

      Yeah, not sure if we’ll see them on the R1. There may be some hardware reasons for that. But definitely on the R2 and beyond. That’s just me speculating though, but I will say that the R2 does have the new NACS port.

  • @JavierDuran-e8n
    @JavierDuran-e8n Місяць тому

    Im on the edge of buying one R1S, but unsure on two things? How low it could be driven? the garage dor on my work is only 2,0mtrs on a slope, son probably have like 1,85mts effectively. The second quiestion is if the navigation systema would work overseas (South America)... I have a tesla here, it works perfectly fine, updates, GPS, connectivity.. but the Built in Navigation. Would the rivian be the same?

    • @RivianDad
      @RivianDad Місяць тому

      I think you’d be fine with the height limit, but double check the specs online that talk about exact site measurement against your garage door. About the overseas navigation, no idea for sure, but my gut tells me it wouldn’t work all that well. I don’t have first-hand experience with that though.

    Sorry for photobombing one of your shots. 🤣 Some really nice improvements. Not enough to make me want to upgrade but very nice. I can't wait for the next software update for the Gen1 R1. One thing that is disappointing is that we're hearing that we can't control the lighting on the Gen 1 like they're doing on the Gen2. The Gen 1 has RGB lights, so that makes no sense.

    Rivian told us the camp speaker will work if you charge it in your house using a laptop power cord. Then it plays for 3 hours. Then recharge. The R1s don't provide enough power to the camp speaker to fully charge it to play properly.
