I also have thousands of contacts spread across five phone books. If it makes you feel better, my Audi is also worthless for the first 5-10 minites of driving. It runs qns (basically blackberry OS). So I'm used to this in the rivian. I stopped syncing one phonebook with about 800 contacts that I...
Yea I consider it a piece of junk compared to watching apple people cast stuff to a tv. Even a Roku works better than a Chromecast. IDK. We'll see. People will want to cast music from a phone or video. They'll want to screen mirror and all the other fabulous stuff casting is supposed to do...
I cast stuff to my LG TV and Chromecast most commonly. Often the audio drops out, the resolution is poor/buffers, screen mirroring is a joke most apps don't cast. The only device that casts reliably is a Roku stick. That's been my experience over the years even with a wifi6 home network and over...

I think they said a week later so isn't that the 22nd when other vehicles start getting updates?
Be happy you can use your phone to tether the car. The cell modem in my Audi is too old as 3g is switched off. The car has a Wi-Fi chip for hotspot but not the other way around so the car is dead to...
I consider getting deprioritized for updates being a great feature for not being subscribed. Now bad updates won't get pushed to me before they can be pulled. Things are looking up! I'm thinking to leave wifi off too. .35 has an insane vampire drain though. Feels like 4% per day now which is a...
