  1. My turn! To close the garage door while opening the tailgate.

    When I had a smaller garage and it was tight getting my then vehicle in. I hung a tennis ball on a piece of string from the ceiling such that once my windshield touched the tennis ball I knew I was far enough in to be able to close the door. Only takes a few minutes to set it up. Worked...
  2. R2 non-powered frunk is a mistake?

    I can understand why some folks might prefer a powered frunk on the R2,but when you’re cutting costs and making a smaller vehicle, it’s unrealistic to expect same feature set on the smaller vehicle. Personally I’m indifferent to it being powered or not but if asked would I pay for that feature...
  3. Common Myths About CarPlay

    Seriously, you need to sell your vehicle, it’s clearly causing you to be delusional. Thankfully there is a mute function so given you can’t move on I will. Best of luck in your crusadešŸ˜‚.
  4. Common Myths About CarPlay

    Then stop making simple facts or whatever else you want to call them and move on. CarPlay in a Rivian is not going to happen.

  6. Common Myths About CarPlay

    Based on your frustrations and your strong desire for CarPlay it seems the best solution would be for you to sell your Rivian and buy a vehicle that supports CarPlay. I doubt Rivian will support CarPlay in the near future or at all, regardless of how vocal the minority that wants CarPlay is.

  8. Common Myths About CarPlay

    Ignorance is bliss! You will be able to do all that and do so much more with AI Agents. Apple WILL have these eventually, I’ll be surprised if it’s not in iOS 27 in some form. As I said in my first post most Apple users are not very tech savvy and are blinkered to Apples current offerings. Let’s...
  9. Common Myths About CarPlay

    CP/AA are outdated interfaces. AI agentic voice controls are the way forward. Rivian’s AI is already showing the earliest signs of this with Google Calendar integration without having AA. Rivian have already said they are working with Apple. My guess is waiting for iOS 27. Apple missed the boat...
  10. Common Myths About CarPlay

    I think you’ll find Rivian is ok with folks choosing not to purchase a Rivian due to lack of CP/AA just as other manufacturers who also don’t and won’t off them on future models. You’re fully entitled to make a decision based on your preferences just as Rivian is. But you’re in the significant...
  11. Moving from Ford Lightning to Dual R1T….a few questions

    After serval months of thought post Ford announcing the cancellation of the Lightning I decided to pull the trigger and order an R1T yesterday. Completed all the required docs and trade in photos today and now awaiting date for pickup. Ordered the 2026 Dual R1T in Forest Green with Performance...
