EDIT: Who's going to be the first to charge to 90%+ to test the launch?

Well, installed and working. Heading to pick up lunch, so I'll test if Launch Control is back!!

So far, doors seemed to unlock faster with my phone, instead of that awkward pause, while waiting outside for the door to open. This usually happens when you are trying to show your friends how cool your new Rivian is. Throttle felt a lot more responsive and it just seemed to accelerate faster, but that is with my 8 year old in the car on the way to the drivethru. For obvious reasons, I have to wait for launch control or any actual speed test. Last, I asked Alexa to play music from Amazon Music and it actually worked.

Literally just started carrying the fob because PaaK broke the last straw this weekend. Hopefully it really did improve, but the release notes only mention Android, so I'm not holding my breath.

I'm an an Android user (yeah, one of those), so might not help you that much.

Did you test that with your friends around ? I would double check it and bring your friends and test it just incase ..

Is 90% necessary to get optimal launch? I typically keep the charge on my 3P to 80% and was planning on doing the same when my R1S gets delivered in a few weeks

There was an early period when the suspension would sometimes go up, then go down, then go up again, all while sitting still at a light. I don't think it's as bad as it used to be but there's definitely some regression in this last update here.

Early OTA versions definitely had my truck doing a full disco at a stoplight. New owners have no clue what dancing at a light means in 2023 ?

I personally have not tested it, so YMMV.

Updated last night and noticed that the final release notes removed the line that was in the beta notes about improvements to vampire drain due to proximity lock being off at home.

That's a bummer because my truck definitely responds to my presence at home (taillights blinking, etc.) despite both proximity lock and gear guard being off at home.

Same. Also, no update here yet.
