  1. Jose, love your content: always helpful, insightful and valuable. Beyond the major releases, do you know how often Rivian pushes out smaller updates, the bug fixes and quiet patches that aren’t announced but clean up something from the last major update? And is there a reliable way to tell when one has landed?

  2. Have to agree, your content is always interesting. I’ve learned much about my R1S watching your videos and reading your various posts.

    Regarding the “hot fix” “Made several stability, responsiveness, and performance improvements to the infotainment system.” Sounds good, but if this was serious enough to pause the main drop for a bit (as reported by others), do you have any insight as to what exactly was addressed?

    I’d like to dig a bit deeper in evaluating the various areas of my vehicle that might have been affected post update.’
    Thanks

    • Hopefully this fixes the constant dropping of Sirius xm and Apple Music after a song plays due to “poor internet” even though the internet signal is fine and addresses the huge delay in reverse camera showing up after putting truck into reverse.

  3. They need to fix the camera screen. I cant change between birdseye view and wheel view when backing up. I havd to completely stop moving before it will activate. I thought they might have fixed that this time!
