Rivian 2024 Updates: Introducing SiriusXM and Enhanced LTE Connectivity
Rivian's 2024 updates are setting a new benchmark in the electric vehicle industry, bringing a host of advanced features and expansions that promise to elevate the driving experience. One of the most anticipated Rivian 2024 updates is the integration of SiriusXM into Rivian vehicles. This feature, expected to be rolled out in 2024, will offer drivers a diverse array of music, news, sports, and entertainment options, enhancing the in-car audio experience.
In addition to entertainment upgrades, the Rivian 2024 updates include significant enhancements in vehicle connectivity. Rivian has committed to extending its coverage for vehicle LTE connectivity through early 2024. This ensures that Rivian drivers will continue to enjoy seamless digital services without additional charges, at least into the early part of the year.
The recent Over-The-Air (OTA).46 release has already laid the groundwork for the Rivian 2024 updates. This release introduced functionalities such as adding multiple stops to routes and the ability to send multi-stop trips to the vehicle from the app. An especially user-friendly feature is the updated Highway Assist, which now allows for manual lane changes with automatic reengagement.
Looking further ahead, the Rivian 2024 updates promise more groundbreaking features. Drivers can look forward to the ability to create multiple climate schedules, ensuring both the vehicle battery and cabin are ready for use when needed. The innovative Regenerative Brake Assist, tailored for consistent deceleration in cold climates, and the enhanced automatic wipers with adjustable sensitivity levels, are other notable features in the pipeline.
Rivian is not just focusing on software; the expansion of physical spaces and community engagement is also a crucial part of the Rivian 2024 updates. The opening of the South Coast Theater in Laguna and a new space in Pasadena, California, exemplify Rivian's commitment to community and customer engagement. Moreover, the Emerald City Rivian Club is organizing a volunteer night with Food Lifeline, and the Arizona Rivian Club plans a weekend adventure at the Imperial Sand Dunes.
Last but not least, Rivian continues to expand its infrastructure with new charging sites and service centers. Recent openings include locations in Cookeville, TN; Maumee, OH; Buttonwillow, CA; Corte Madera, CA; Forks, WA; and Santa Nella, CA. These additions, coupled with the growing network of Rivian service centers across the US and Canada, underscore the company's commitment to providing comprehensive support and accessibility to its customers.
Overall, Rivian's latest updates and future plans reflect a strong focus on enhancing user experience, community engagement, and expanding its service and charging infrastructure, setting the stage for an exciting 2024 and beyond.
Earlier this month Rivian revamped the R1S and R1T navigation systems, adding multi-stop route planning and integrating Google Maps with their mobile app for a seamless, adaptable journey experience. No wonder one of it's vehicles got into the top 10 best AWD electric vehicles of 2023 list.
