Don't lose faith, it's still rolling out.

I got the update phone notification this morning and updated my truck from 2700 miles away while traveling.

I think I’m the last one to get this update. Still waiting…

I’m right there with you. I keep telling myself it’s probably for the better. Let them work out all the kinks before I get it.

For those still waiting, I just got the update notification just now as well.

Feeling left out here. Still waiting for the update as well.

Still waiting here as well. VIN 12xxx.

A bit less than 80 minutes for me
Spent about 5 minutes on 0%, but then started moving fairly quick.

Gain like 13-20 miles which is nice.

Fob didn’t ask for an update though so I’ll keep an eye out for that (I always use my phone anyways.

Man I'm getting really impatient. I NEED this update! Been to service 3 or 4 times for the vehicle pulling to the right. Service wants the truck back again for the issue and I want to see if the update handles it but they keep calling me to try and schedule service.

Finally got the update, yesterday, I am not impressed.

Stated range did show a large improvement — but driving my normal route I ended up back home with similar range remaining. I’m not convinced there is actually more range, but rather just a higher number reported. More testing will be necessary on this issue.

I am thoroughly disappointed at the number of bugs NOT addressed. I still can’t use Alexa to request a song via Tidal, or go next/previous track. This is a huge safety issue, imo.

I also think the steering changes have made driving worse. my steering wheel still requires constant pressure to the left and I have to hold it several degrees from straight…. But now the vehicle is constantly trying to ping-pong itself and there is a really vague spot in the middle where steering goes really light. It does not feel good and feels exhausting to drive. The truck feels more like a 1980s pickup with a worn out recirculating-ball setup.

I installed the update. How do you navigate with this screen, sir?

 

[technerd]

I'm impressed so far. Vampire drain has gone down about 20-25%. Overnight only lost 2 miles (~1.25%), and 36 hours was only 9 miles (~3.5%) which is better than I experienced before.

Also, it was ~50 degrees today and I averaged 2.15kWh on my drive in using All Purpose, which could be the weather, or the update, but I was getting 1.85kWh before.

How?! Whenever I’m anywhere outside of Bluetooth range, the app just keeps trying to wake the car.
Anyone else experience that?

The truck is in my driveway connected to Wifi so it downloaded the update while I was gone.

Nothing is actually happening with the app other than telling a server somewhere to tell the truck to start the update - You don't need to be near the car to control it as long as the car has network access. (in the most simplistic terms)

You might just need to delete and reinstall the app on your phone or talk to CS and see if there is a network issues with your truck.

Will try that. That’s what I figured as well. Was able to control my M3 from across the country, so didn’t make sense that I couldn’t do the same with the R1T.
