R1S Trailer Range Estimate a bit Far Off

I can't really tell if it was the latest update that caused this issue with my Rivian R1S. A few days after I updated my Rivian software to the latest version, my R1S locked and unlocked every time I passed by the garage, which was kind of strange at first. I looked for the proximity lock setting for my home address, but it was missing from the menu. It was like the truck doesn’t recognize my house anymore. The constant noise from the locks was disruptive when my husband was working in the garage, and I was concerned I’d need to contact service before we eventually found a solution that worked. So, we removed our home address from the navigation system, re-entered it, and performed a soft reset. Then, I toggled the proximity lock setting off and back on. Within seconds, the full menu reappeared, including the home lock option. It’s been functioning normally since then, with no random locking. If anyone’s R1S is having this issue, try these steps. I hope this helps others avoid the trouble I experienced.

I meant to post this last week but got sidetracked. Two weeks ago, while towing a trailer with my Rivian R1S, I saw an efficiency of 0.94 mi/kWh, but the display showed 233 miles of range at 100% charge. That math implies a 248 kWh battery, which seems off since the battery is 142 kWh. That would mean the real range is closer to 133 miles. I was surprised by the big difference in the estimate. It felt confusing and could make trip planning tricky.

I’ve seen slightly optimistic range estimates without a trailer, but nothing this far off. I’m thinking it might just be a simple mistake in the system’s calculations. Has anyone else noticed something similar while towing? I’d love to hear your thoughts or if you think it’s just a small glitch that needs fixing.
