NEW UPDATE: Version 2023.18.00 (Internal Beta): Scheduled Charging In The Rivian Mobile App, Driver+ Improvements, Usability Improvements, and More

[GHuff]

I'm starting to get a little annoyed that there haven't been any improvements to Phone call and text UX and useability.

Also, using my phone to play podcasts or audiobooks in my Rivian is a terrible experience and there haven't been any improvements to address it. I can't be the only one with these issues.

Phone calls, texts, audio books, and podcasts are MUCH more common (daily) than a random Zoom glitch.

People need to be more clear with the launch bug - in my experience it's only a lag to get going (like what you're saying) meaning that I let off the brake, it takes 0.5 seconds, and then starts moving. In my case, it starts moving at full power. People are making it seem like their 0-60 is being delayed by 0.5 seconds, which isn't the case.

To be clear, previously when I let off the brake, it takes 0.001 seconds, and then starts moving. It still feels like the same 0-60.

I disagree, it definitely isn't hitting as hard and the amount of delay seems to vary slightly as well. Seems like they have a limitation on torque ramp rate that is lower than what it used to be. It's still very quick, but after doing several launches last week, it doesn't currently seem capable of hitting the 3.0s 0-60 based on what my dragy was saying.

I didn't get the dragy until after I'd already put snow tires on the truck, but I could reliably get 3.4s 0-60 with 1ft rollout on the snow tires with obvious tire spin and a frozen battery. No tire spin on the sport tires and it's pulling similar times with it occasionally being only slightly faster. I'd expect to reliably get faster times. The inconsistency is just strange.

They are working on the media player the most! You would hope the zoom call fix was something minor or maybe a lot of rivian employees had to deal with it, so they fixed that first.

what audiobook app do you use? i use alexa to play my books on audible without requiring the phone. granted, it's been buggy since the last release, but has worked since the get go.

"Fixed a rare issue that didn’t allow the media source icon to appear in the audio panel."

Hopefully they mean this? ?

I also hope they fix the "Alexa, play 'xyz' on Pandora" and it just does nothing, that's been occurring since the last most-recent update. I know this is a "hack" work-around though, and expect that us Pandora users may be SOL. ?

Yes.

Nope. This is intentional. Decode it and see...

If so you should hurry up and translate it before it is gone...

Fixed an occasional issue: Alexa occasionally didn’t play music even when Alexa responded and confirmed the command to play music.

Apparently "occasional" means every day or two. ?‍

Getting better and better with the vampire drain. Would like to see an away from home and paak auto lock off option.

Like being able to set 3 or more places, such as home / work / etc. -- places you spend a lot of time.

exactly. Or set a temporary place. If I'm going to spend a week in a cabin and not drive, I'd like to limit the vampire drain if I can't plug in.

I think this is just a new glitch. I don't use pandora but I do use amazon music this way. An infotainment reset fixes it for quite a while for me. I just wish we could do them while driving like I can in the Polestar.

I think the 3.0s metric is for the configuration with 21s, no? I got 3.2s on my 21s in the winter, with less than 80% battery. 20s and 22s should be slower ultimately.

no, the 22s should be fastest i think.
