According to Rivian Roamer, the last Rivian software update of 2024 was released Wednesday, December 18th. I expect a similar pre-Holiday week release this year. The week of December 15th to December 19th makes sense for 2025.46 to land.

Rivian has filed for a patent on "vehicle with compartment and drawer accessible from exterior of. vehicle". Looking at the photos and patent, this appears to be a Rivian Service Truck (RST) used by mobile service. It would be cool if they sold these options on the Gear Shop.

Rivian has refreshed the bat signal in front of the factory in Normal, IL to include Gen 2 vehicles and Christmas themed decorations. Quads are now the show piece when you come to visit Rivian!

Thanks Matt for the picture!

I often see comparisons of Rivians to Scouts online. Did you know Rivian once had a trademark application filed for the term "Scout"? It's now abandoned, but a wild coincidence.

I'm looking for ideas on what to wear to Palo Alto for Autonomy and AI Day. Here's what I wore to the R2 unveiling last year. I need a certain level of comedy/snark.

In a patent awarded today for "rear display enhancements", you can see Rivian has grand plans for the rear display. When will they enable additional capabilities back there?

Today Rivian awarded a patent on the Gen 2 range wheel design. I feel like I know a few people who would use this picture as a wallpaper...love it or hate it? 👍 👎
