According to a press release from Rivian, Snow Mode makes driving in wintry conditions less nerve-wracking. Generally speaking, slamming on the brakes abruptly or rapid acceleration in a conventional car can cause the vehicle to lose traction in the snow and make driving much more difficult. Rivian’s Snow Mode hopes to mitigate this by “softening” the driver input to allow the EV to accelerate or decelerate more gently.
Per Rivian, the new drive mode works best on snowy roads and is explicitly not for off-road driving; for that, Rivian still recommends switching to Off-Road All-Terrain Mode. With the update, Rivian will now allow users to defrost their R1T or R1S’s windshield, crank up the heat, and turn on heated seats remotely with the Rivian app. While driving in cold weather, the car will not automatically switch to Snow Mode, but it will tell the driver to switch when it’s both below 34 degrees Fahrenheit outside and the wheels start to slip.
