Rivian R1T 2024.11.02 Release Notes

Charging Score

Now when you select a charging station in Navigation or in the Rivian mobile app 2.8.0 (or later), you'll see a charging score based on key factors such as success rate and time it takes to start charging. Trip plans will automatically take these charging scores into account (where they're available) to help you avoid sites with lower scores. You can also adjust your charging map filters to hide sites with low scores.

Send Navigation, Mapping, and Charging Feedback

Also in Navigation, you now have an option to send feedback to us on any navigation, mapping, and charging issues. Go to the feedback icon® to submit your comments.

Rear Display Improvements

We updated the rear display with a new layout, and added more functionality that includes access to:

• Navigation trip progress
• Power outlet controls
• Media panel to view what's currently playing and the ability to play or pause
• Rear vent and seat heat controls
• Hotspot connection
• Bluetooth connection
• Interior lights control

You can also now lock the rear display screen via a quick control in the center display.

Additional Improvements

• Improved Pet Comfort temperature control by increasing the amount of airflow in the cabin.
• Improved ride height adjustments to reduce the number of occasions that require the vehicle to raise before a drive.
• Infotainment:
• Added new content to the Off-Road Driving section of the R1 Owner's Guide with guidelines and tips to help you drive more safely and confidently off road.

• Fixed a rare issue during vehicle unlocking that prevented one or more of the door handles from presenting and mirrors from unfolding.
