RIVIAN SOFTWARE & MOBILE APP DEEP DIVE: YEARS OF UPDATES MAKE IT ONE OF THE BEST

EV Channels Review

This video provides an in-depth exploration of the Rivian software and mobile app, highlighting its evolution and current strengths. The reviewer praises the gorgeous UI, snappy performance, and excellent screen quality, particularly noting the multi-touch capability and the intuitive layout. Key features like Camp Mode, Pet Mode, and the comprehensive camera system are lauded. However, the review points out areas for improvement, including the lack of physical buttons for certain functions, the slightly slow loading times for some features, and the mediocre performance of the Elevation sound system. The navigation system is generally good but could benefit from more accurate range predictions and the ability to set preferred charger arrival percentages. The mobile app is commended for its robust widget functionality and route planning capabilities, though occasional inconsistencies in responsiveness and the inability to control Camp/Pet modes directly from the app are noted. Overall, the software is considered a benchmark, with continuous over-the-air updates significantly enhancing the user experience.
