When did this happen? Rivian advertised free LTE for life? Legit question as i do not recall this. They had pitched some membership idea (at a cost) then announced they would break out the services (at cost) and announced a while ago that free-LTE would, as expected (I thought), end.
No, they never offered it. They specially stated that it was not permanent. Hence, they covered their bases.

So, just to confirm... there is no specific law you are referring to? Because that is what you claimed :CWL:

Rivian has made clear from day 1 that everyone was receiving features for free but would eventually be asked to pay for some or all of them. That did not need to happen in the IPO to cover any legal liability you are referring to.
Bro - go troll another forum.

To offer something that the reasonable consumer would assume is available for life, and then charge for it would run afoul of myriad state and federal false advertising laws. You want me to cite them all to you? You don’t think false advertising laws exist? ???

All of this and my position has always been that Rivian was upfront about this, as required by law, and thus didn’t do anything shady.

Have you had your iced tea yet?

Scroll, up, bro. ?
What law are you referring to and why did you claim they had to communicate it in the IPO? It's a simple question that you have now avoided answering 4 times.

Read the post you are responding to. I mean honestly, I’ve seen less transparent trolls.

That refers to no specific law requiring Rivian announce it to customers in the IPO. That is what I referred to originally and you had a little meltdown, saying they had to do that? ?‍♂

There is no IPO-specific law. And no one ever said there was.

Breathe, my friend.

Thank you for admitting your meltdown was all for nothing since you actually don't even disagree with my original post. :CWL:

You can tether your cellphone using its hotspot and use the connected rivian apps.

lol bro. Based on what I’ve seen, not many people agree with you on much ???
That just means you haven't seen much. Not that it would matter one bit to me either way. By all means continue your odd little performance.
