Rivian has <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/stories.rivian.com\/software-update-soft-sand-mode\">finally released<\/a> its \u201csoft sand\u201d driving mode software update.<\/p>\n<p>Last month, Rivian\u2019s CEO RJ Scaringe <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/RJScaringe\/status\/1518782385550241792?\">started teasing<\/a> a new \u201csand mode\u201d on <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Social Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Twitter<\/a>, confirming that the brand\u2019s fifth off-road driving mode would be available soon. Now, just in time for summer, Rivian has officially released the sand mode update promising to improve performance in off-road situations.<\/p>\n<p>Whether your adventure takes you to the beach or some sandy plains, you know your R1 vehicle will be up to the task and ensure you don\u2019t get stuck. Sand mode essentially uses some of the many electrical systems in the car to optimize performance, specifically for deep, soft sand.<\/p>\n<p>The Twitter embedded below says it\u2019s coming soon, but Sand Mode is officially available via a software update for the R1T and R1S.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Sand mode \u2014 coming in a future OTA update <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/8Q5NwIgImE\">pic.twitter.com\/8Q5NwIgImE<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 RJ Scaringe (@RJScaringe) <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/RJScaringe\/status\/1518782385550241792?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">April 26, 2022<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>According to Rivian, all you have to do is tap a button in your R1 vehicle to enable sand mode. Once the button is selected, the vehicle starts <em>\u201coptimizing traction and stability control to make up for the limited traction and increased drag of driving in deep sand, which also helps decrease your chances of getting stuck.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>This new mode will increase drivability and\u00a0maneuverability in deep sand conditions. Rivian says that several different things h<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>en all at once, intelligently, once a driver enables sand mode.<\/p>\n<p>Your Rivian vehicle will automatically soften driver inputs, control and refine the throttle to help initiate or maintain momentum going through sand, and even slowly increase the throttle to prevent peeling out, digging in, and getting stuck.<\/p>\n<p>Then, during higher speeds, your Rivian adventure vehicle will offer a more aggressive delivery to the system and tires to handle thick sand and lower regenerative braking to ensure the wheels roll smooth and prevent digging into soft surfaces. And finally, the suspension and ride characteristics even change slightly to handle the situation.<\/p>\n<p>Basically, your vehicle can handle any surface now, from soft sand to rocks, roads, gravel, etc. It\u2019s worth noting that last month Rivian\u2019s CEO also suggested a new dog or pet mode is on the way, which will keep the interior temps under control.<\/p>\n<p>Then, users can expect another update soon with \u201cDashcam mode,\u201d which sounds very similar to Tesla\u2019s Sentry mode and will record your vehicle\u2019s surroundings when in park, thanks to the various cameras on the vehicle.<\/p>\n<p><small>Source: Rivian<\/small>\n<\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p><script>\nsetTimeout(function(){\n  !function(f,b,e,v,n,t,s)\n  {if(f.fbq)return;n=f.fbq=function(){n.callMethod?\n  n.callMethod.apply(n,arguments):n.queue.push(arguments)};\n  if(!f._fbq)f._fbq=n;n.push=n;n.loaded=!0;n.version='2.0';\n  n.queue=[];t=b.createElement(e);t.async=!0;\n  t.src=v;s=b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];\n  s.parentNode.insertBefore(t,s)}(window, document,'script',\n  'https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js');\n  fbq('init', '1137093656460433');\n  fbq('track', 'PageView');\n  },3000);\n<\/script><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
