2025.46 Update (Release Notes). OTA pushing out now!

[mkhuffman]

Prior to the update the sub on my Gen2 R1S w/ premium audio was out of phase. This was verified by both audio analyzing software and by removing the speaker grill and seeing that the 10" speaker pushed in with signal instead of pushing outward. AFTER the update the polarity of the sub has changed and it now pushes out with signal and at least in my vehicle sounds way better at the drivers position. 2 other speakers also appear to have changed polarity with the update although that is just based on the analyzation software. One is on passenger side of the dash and the other the speaker above the passenger door. Previously it was difficult for me to hear any sound coming out of the speakers above the doors but now all of the speakers seem to be working much better in harmony. It also seems to me that they may have changed the overall comparative level of the center speaker on the dash and the result is a much wider stereo field. Overall it now sounds fantastic in my vehicle at least in the front seats. I'll have to jump in the 2nd and 3rd rows today and see how it affected the sound at those positions.
I also have a Gen 2 without the premium audio but the update has not come through for it yet so I don't know how the sound was affected in it.

This is great news! I will also test my truck later today (I have been out of town) and will validate if mine is the same as yours. I am sure it is.

What I found before is the front door speakers were out of phase with the rear speakers. The rear doors and subwoofer were in phase with each other, but out of phase with the front door speakers. It was also easy to confirm by listening to the bass level.

Put your head down near the floor at the center console, directly between the front door speakers and the bass gets stronger. Sit up so you can hear the rear speakers and the bass washes out. That should not happen if they are in phase. In phase, the bass should stay the same or get stronger when you sit up. Physics.

Oh for Christ sake, now I have to re pin my wiring harness. I’m one of the dopes who swapped polarity manually. All along I was thinking, “I bet they’ll figure it out on their own and I’ll have to swap em back” Here we are

I had it on my list to rewire the front door speakers. I am so glad I didn't do that project! Did you reverse the front doors or just the subwoofer? Hopefully the latter...

My G1 R1S sound is more distributed, especially the speaker above the door where I hear instruments I didn’t in the past. It sounds much better, and crisp.

So…as a connect+ hostage, shouldn’t I already have gotten the update? 23 R1s quad here…

They either stoped rollout over weekend. Or they are waiting for the L2 charging fix before pushing out to the 25% connect+ who didn’t get the update. I hope they indeed do the latter. Best software practices.

Since I got the update after the issue was identified it does not appear they are holding it up for the L2 charging issue. Maybe because not every truck is impacted?

You might have given them the idea to swap it. Kudos to you for figuring it out. I can't imagine that mine is the only one that had the polarity flip with the update but just in case make sure you check it before taking everything apart again.

I wish the navigation screen would also show when UHF is being used, but they don't allow it. Is there a way to turn off Apple Watch notifications for each time the car locks and unlocks (it's a bit annoying when I'm in my house and walking near my garage door)?

I don’t think they hit the “stop rollout button” fast enough personally.

I wonder it was only subset of vehicles that got wired incorrectly during manufacturing or they truly just f’ed up the software polarity? Whatever it is they clearly don’t want talk about it since it seems like such a silly mistake

I also haven’t gotten the update yet. Gen 1 R1T connect+ subscriber. Happened the last update as well took about 4 days to get the update. I guess I’ll see it on Monday or Tuesday.

Just the subwoofer, so simple-enough. But stil…

Excellent point. Thanks, I’ll do that!

Curious if anyone feels the all purpose mode for G1 R1S feels smoother?

I saw the drive mode refinement line in the release notes but that it was only for retaining the regen across drive modes.

I was out driving around today and I swear the vehicle in all purpose standard height was much smoother. This is what I drive in most of the time so I’m very familiar with it.

Didn't notice any refinement in AP but got on the highway this morning and popped it into conserve. I said wow this feels like crap, looked down and saw it set to auto ride height and lowest/moderate. Did these updates always reset drive modes to these values? I just don't understand why they change my settings like camera views and reset them after every single update. Leave the settings the way they are like my seating position.
