What are some helpful commands that you regularly utilize?
“Alexa, set the temperature to 68 degrees”. It’s the only command that works more than 50% of the time.

Alexa: play my music (I have Alexa configured with Amazon Music as my music service and the command plays all my favorite songs with some similar music mixed in).

Alexa: turn on the third row vents

I use "Alexa, I'm leaving" and "Alexa, I'm home" to turn Away mode on and off in the house, so she turns on the lights for the dogs.

I will admit to using all of these in the thread. But especially this one, LOL. ?
I found out today you can ask for multiple quotes in the same command. “Alexa, what’s the stock Price for Rivian, tesla, Apple, Morgan Stanley?”

They aren't any different than before, really. The commands that work without Connect+ are the ones that control your vehicle. All others require Connect+ or a phone tether.
I noticed that if I’m playing a podcast on Alexa then pause it - then Alexa won’t take nav commands. I see the blue light across the top but no response.

I do Alexa take me home/work, Call (spouse name), my kids love it when they ask her random things like the alexa in our house.

I really wish they allow changing the name.
The Alexa units in my home allow me to change her name to Ziggy. Not sure if this will work in the Rivian.
