It could be done but would be hard on the brakes as well as less efficient in an ICE because it would negate the ability to coast.

My guess is that Rivian has no desire to cede screen real estate to a third party and want to own the interface.

Regardless of how one feels about the infotainment, which is infinitely better than anyone else other than Tesla, Carplay is not happening.
-
We must drive different Rivians. I am so puzzled why people who believe this would buy a Rivian.

Either way, this sure seems like barking up the wrong tree. Carplay/AA are band aids to bad infotainment from legacy automakers...

I don't see the problem. If it's not worth it TO YOU, with what you know about the vehicle, then don't buy out the lease. All leases...

TheMac reacted to VandalSibs's post in the thread Residual value is too high but want to buy with Like.
That's great for financed loans or outright purchases, but OP is in a lease. The buyout amount is part of the legally-binding agreement.
