I played with the R2's radio a bit during my test drive. While it seemed nearly as responsive as traditional radio, having to sit through 30 seconds of ads on most stations when first tuning in would hinder the ability to channel surf. It does seem that once you've heard the ads once, you can tune off and back to a station without additional ads.

How do you think I'm paying for my new Rivian? You can place a prop bet on anything these days.
Lol, I see that every time I go to a large family gathering on a Sunday nowadays. It's like practically no one under the age of 40 watches sports for the love of the game, it's almost always gambling related :(

Honestly this topic is way overblown at 29 pages currently. I listen to a lot of AM radio and was pleasantly surprised how well it sounded in the r2 compared to my car with an antennae.

Well yeah, you were streaming AM, you can't compare digital streaming to terrestrial AM radio reception which is subject to all sorts of natural and man made EM interference.
