Software Version 2023.02.0 [beta] -- Improved EPA range, key fob firmware, new door ajar notification, steering improvement & more...

Any 2023.2.x sightings, yet?

I would expect updates to start rolling out next Tuesday, 02/07, at the earliest.

I have been using Tidal in both my Rivian R1T and Tesla Model Y after their last updates. Works flawlessly in both. I have gone from mainly Spotify/Amazon in the R1T to Tidal. Tidal appears to be more stable and reliable then Amazon.

"Flawlessly" eh? Please post a video of you using Alexa to control Tidal in your R1T.

Several people have claimed it works, but all have been unable to provide the sauce.

Tidal is only working in very basic form at this point. Just like they did with Spotify, they will have to bring it up to full functionality over the next several months. It's not integrated with Alexa yet. The Recently Played is not synced to what you do in the vehicle, but is synced to what you do in other devices such as your phone. I haven't seen the curated features change much if at all. The formatting and layout still needs to be tweaked so that it's similar to Spotify is now. You can't add songs to a playlist like they added in Spotify.

So, the music is there, and it's at better quality, but they still have work to do to bring all the functionality it's capable of. It's currently at a state behind what Spotify was at launch on that front. They clearly just wanted to get it up there to show progress and provide a lossless native app/music catalog, even if it wasn't fully baked yet. Which is fine.

I have only used Tidal from the screen. I have not tried with Alexa due to the overall instability of it. And yes, you are correct that it didn’t work properly when I tried it. However, Tidal is my current preferred music source (even without Alexa).

I agree it sounds MUCH better than Spotify and I do use it whenever possible. But the touch UI is unsafe when driving, so the lack of any Alexa integration is frustrating.

It's a bit baffling why there is no Alexa support.

I’ve been thinking this too! “Surprise, it was a max pack all along!”

We’re just so close now. My latest on 2022.47.0 before the additional depth of discharge got me 333 miles on 22s on the GOM. A recent trip netted me 320 of actual miles travelled at an average speed of 67mph. Oh and I started the drive when it was 39F out.

If the 21s are 5-10% more efficient, that projects to be 355 miles. I have to think/guess the DoD update would be at least 5% to be worthwhile to include in the notes, that would be nearly 375 miles. With 200hp less and less aggressive throttle mapping..400 miles is doable with the existing pack.

I just hope this update provides some benefit to the stupid key fob and phone key. I shouldn't have to constantly pull out my fob and click a button to unlock an advanced EV made in 2022. My 2018 VW did a better job of this than the Rivian, it is beyond annoying.

I have no clue why you get such high mileage. I get 270+ miles with 22"... Nowhere close to 320m you are putting out... And no. I don't drive like a maniac, and i drive mostly local under < 50 mph

Air resistance doesn't go away with 200 less hp, neither does rolling resistance. We won't see 400 miles with the current pack unless it has a Lucid Air wrapped around it.

My simple workaround is to send a playlist from my phone to the vehicle

If we get to 400 miles with dual motors and the current pack, there will be a revolt with the guys waiting 4-5 years on their max.

Nope, but lower power helps. It’s a part of the reason conserve mode works.

It was a single trip, I get less if I’m doing normal driving that includes me mashing on the go pedal and the battery needing to warm up repeatedly. I’m normally around 2.14mi/kWh, which would be closer to 260 miles. If I would have slowed down, I likely could have gotten 340 out of it. I really look forward to doing this trip with 21 Aeros on and 55F to see how far I can push it.

I do like that flip of the switch to gain so much more range. It’s absurd and wonderful at the same time

 

[Marchin_MTB]

We know that 360mi is already achievable on 21s,

With an increase in DoD that is getting pretty close to 400mi.

I wish I was getting over 2 mi/kWh on 21s since I got the truck a month ago. I'm guessing it's because all my driving has been around town and it hasn't gotten above freezing here since I got the truck. And it's parked outside.
