Fortunately we have a portable charger for that issue. Or we can go into the garage, put the cars in accessory mode and charge there without turning them on.

Good backup solutions, glad to hear it. You really appreciate the phone as a mobile computer when the power is out and nothing else is available.

I would love to install this, but I rely on my phone for youtube work as I am a content creator.
Any idea how stable it is? Unlocking with the watch seems like a dream.

It’s been very stable for me, and I’m using an MDM that often causes problems in beta. The watch unlocking is pretty awesome - I often find myself just swiping up on my phone and I forget that I’m wearing a mask because it simply unlocks. If not for my watch vibrating to tell me, I’d never notice the feature, because “it just works.”

Ty for that, how hard is it to opt out of the beta? does it require and entire wipe and reinstall of the device?

You can roll back if you are careful to create a backup of your current version and don’t overwrite it with a backup from the beta OS. (Yes, it’s a wipe and restore from backup).
