FIRST LOOK - Rivian Drive Modes Reimagined
zhlédnutí 9KPřed 8 měsíci
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

Thanks for sharing this chill ride-along and discussion...
I thought that Romain Dumas was the top driver
Wish they had the Tesla standard charging ports. Guess that might come out end of year or early next.
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.
so is that a gen 2 r1s in your garage?
Anytime I hear someone say Gen 2, I think of penguins😂
Amazing! Huge respect! I'll be scared forming bricks even at speed limit. Over 100? Forget about it.. Love my R1SQ Good luck at the race!
LETS GO TEAM GARDNER NICHOLS AND RIVIAN!!!🎉
Super cool video! Thanks Scott!
Thanks!
Good luck Gardner and Team Rivian! Awesome!
Awesome video!
Thanks!
wow, and to think all I do with my R1T is drive to town! Okay, sometimes I haul stuff or pull things. But it can do that!!
Yeah. And lots more!
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?
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.
Very cool! I love the joy Gardner brings and the combo of the terrain and the vehicle!! Go team Rivian.
Nice video
What a TREAT this was - you'll have to watch through to see if there was puking or not - but I'll say I had a good time either way. And Gardner is not just a really really cool dude, but he's a legit driver. GOOD LUCK GARDNER!! BREAK THAT RECORD!!
Gen 1.2 as others call it on the forums because customer facing the changes are small, or even decontented.
Cool dude
What basket is that over your bed?
amzn.to/3RQ8KK3 Yakima Mega Warrior cage - I love it.
Great job Steve-O
Nice ride my friend
All of the color choices are beautiful, How do you choose ?
Exactly
What the deal with heads up display?
I haven’t heard anything about that.
Insane road conditions!!!!
He gives me Steve-O vibes…. Anyone else?
RJ looks like a sober Steve-O
Handle for the door is for emergency purposes, similar to Tesla
The door pull latch is when the battery is dead . Tesla has one also .
Yeah, I thought it was probably a safety item. Thanks.
They could have at least given the test doors some shades. Like it’s such an easy update that every single suv out there has
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.
They backtracked on that and will have that control in Gen 1
Too bad they didn't bring the new steering wheel controls to the R1S Gen 2 that they previewed in the R2 and R3 models. I guess that will be a Gen 3 upgrade?
I thought about that as well. Yeah, the new R2 steering is pretty sweet. I guess they need to keep something for that release!
Thank you for this content on the Gen2
Thanks for watching!
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.
😮
The updated cameras, blind spot camera views and new unreal engine graphics are amazing!
it was immediately noticeable.
Absolutely agree!
2 of the 3 are coming to existing fleet
Most care coming to the OG so no need to buy the 2025
No air compressor in the back
Unreal Engine graphics!
The air compressor will be a $650 option for the refresh.
Hey….good to see you posting some content!! It’s been a minute. Always enjoy your videos!! Hope you post more soon. Thanks for this update on the Gen 2’s. Looks like a nice update both ‘under the hood’ and some nice exterior refinements.
Is that right? I didn’t notice. I guess that changes the spare tire situation as well
@@myost33 thanks for hanging in there. Yeah life is a challenge lately. And this is a project for the love not for the money. :-)
This is the dual motor version of the R1 S.
Any idea when the full zoot quad motor is being released? Over 1000 hp and 1200 ftlbs tq is crazy.
@@alexnutcasio936mid-2025
Weird to see an American EV company CEO who only works as the CEO of just ONE company!
One is plenty! :)
I want these in the UK.
that quarter should not have been cut off.
Is this a Rivian Quad Motor Large Battery Pack? If so 2 miles per kwh aint too bad for mostly highway driving, packed car, and in some cold weather. Roughly 260 miles on a full charge.
Yes. Quad motor 135 kWh large pack
@@RivianDad I think that's pretty solid and usable highway range! I'm sure the max pack with dual motors could do 300+ which is quite impressive. Now with Rivian able to supercharge it's hard not to pick the Rivian over the Tesla when prices are identical
The code doesn’t work
Who did the repair?
Stuttgart auto
Have you considered adding a win deflector on the front cargo crossbar? I see them all the time on Subarus and other similar vehicles. I wonder if having the wind deflected up at an angle instead of hitting the vertical tent box would increase range/decrease wind resistance much.
It’s so easy to remove the crossbars that I usually just take them off when there is no cargo. So no. But if I had a permanent rack up there then a wind deflector would be great.
Rivian looks like a futuristic Range Rover
Steve O works for Rivian now? Alright Dude!
I like the R2 but i really need that R3X tomorrow sir. Thank you..
I wish he’s going to stay there until the R3X is launching in Europe. I just want that car. Please make it happen.
Me 2!
Steve-O is awesome
Like a kid with a new balloon on his birthday. I would not drive a Rivian if it was free.
It’s a shame it’ll never make large scale production as they already lose $50k+ per high end truck, and have no way to scale. They’re on pace for bankruptcy by mid ‘25.
Awwww they are sooo beautiful! 😍 I wish you lot of joy with them. ❤❤
