I am seeing the same symptoms. Rivian was going to send out a service van. But they decided that it really is a software update bug and that they will correct it in a future update.
In the process of trouble shooting the Alexa problem with a service adviser, I did two soft reboots and one hard reboot. I also let the car reset by going to sleep.
I'll try a soft reboot again with the drive mode screen.
Rivian is sending a mobile service truck out in about a week to do...
It appears that the problem is that the Alexa voice is feeding the "media" input instead of the "Alexa" input. You can change the volume of the Alexa voice by adjusting the media volume.

I should have tracked my efficiency for the whole trip. I did, however, watch the efficiency graph on the dash. My efficiency stayed at or just under 2 miles/kwh. I drove the speed limit on the Interstate. At one point, I changed from 70 mph to 60 mph and my efficiency went up to about 2.2...
Overall, it was a fun trip. The Rivian was a pleasure to drive.
I worried about charging but had no problem at all. I used mostly Tesla Superchargers. My A2Z adaptor worked great. Charging using the Tesla chargers was virtually automatic -- just plug in and walk away. The Tesla chargers...
