R1S Precision improvement on one-pedal

I have previously used the streaming capability back when it first came out as well as the hotspot since before Connect+ was a thing. I am trying to get the streaming working again but it seems to have been hidden fully behind the paywall. (Not looking to argue the merits of that system here) I recall after Connect+ came out being able to still use the Hotspot while tethering with my phone, and losing it isn't a big deal other than needing to update my wife's wifi, but I think I remember needing to be on the Hotspot to do casting. My question is, did Rivian remove both of these features to fully behind the connect+ paywall? I thought that if you used phone tethering or if you were connected to WIFI you could use most all of the usual streaming like features of the Rivian? If anyone can recommend how to stream while using tethering I'm sure myself and others without Connect+ would appreciate it.

I dont know if anyone else noticed this feature. It's subtle, but noticeable. While I was backing up into my garage with very small room for error, I noticed that with the latest update, I can apply very light acceleration backwards which allows me more control on the last few inches of the maneuver. It also makes it less jerky and less stressful.

The only thing I would improve would be reducing the deadzone on the pedal which adds some unpredictability.

Either way, it's nice to see Rivian add such a cool feature.
