Hopefully the R2 is compatible with the R1 spare, I'd just probably swap the spare to an R2 if I decide to get it in the future. I'm still holding out for the R3!!!

The one way you could get around this is to install an Echo Auto in the vehicle or not switch to the Rivian Assistant. I don't subscribe to to C+ and had an old Echo Auto that I used in a previous vehicle. Works great to play Amazon Music and SXM stations as I don't have an account...
It clearly says that on the Riviantrackr site : https://riviantrackr.com/2026-15/
Rivian Assistant is available on vehicles that are actively subscribed to Connect+
I realize that, but if you don't subscribe to C+, then RivAss is not available. So for Gen 1 there are essentially no updates if you don't have C+.
From Release notes from YOUR site:
Rivian Assistant is available on vehicles that are actively subscribed to Connect+
So pretty much nothing if you’re Gen 1 and not subscribed to C+ … RivAss is yet another data collection service, this should be free to use as Rivian benefits
I just got my R1S back and this is EXACTLY the same BS response I received. Within spec, the won’t do anything about it even though I reported that I occasionally get a pop up error message to wait for the vehicle to raise before driving because it has dropped so much.
