Warmer Weather or Software Glitch? R1S Efficiency Soars

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.

Recently, I’ve noticed my Rivian R1S is using energy much more efficiently since the weather warmed up in Vancouver. My driving habits, vehicle settings, and daily routes haven’t changed, yet for about a week, I’m seeing efficiency numbers in the low to mid 3s. My husband even mentioned seeing close to 4. Before this, over eight months of ownership, I never saw efficiency above 2.46. I drive in all-purpose mode, with standard suspension height and maximum regeneration.

Has anyone else experienced this? I haven’t calculated it manually yet, but it feels like the system’s calculations might have changed or there could be a glitch.
I’m curious if others have noticed similar improvements in their Rivian’s efficiency.

The sudden jump in numbers is surprising, especially since nothing about my driving or settings has changed. I’m wondering if warmer weather is making a difference or if there’s something else going on, like a software update affecting how efficiency is measured.

If you’ve seen this too, please share your thoughts. I’d love to know if this is a common experience or if I should dig deeper to check for a possible issue with my vehicle’s system.
