More security means more inconveniences... The line is different for everyone. I wonder where the line is for insurance costs. Would insurance companies offer us lower premiums if we enable this 2-factor dance? For me, if there's no monetary benefit here, I'm not sure this inconvenience is...

Is this through "Connect powered by American Family Insurance" ?

How are you getting that for a full year... That's my price for 6 months and I'm planning to change. No accidents on record either.

Please YES

My other car is that porky SUV... i feel it often

$300 markup on the non branded one?

As someone that grew up driving 10s (0-60, not quarter mile) SUVs, going from 4.5 to 4.1 in AP mode seems very unnecessary...

Let's gooooo

I'm not sure they can legally sell it if the VIN was indicating a specific model. They could say the SW unlock comes with it the car, but I haven't seen official guidance on how this will work. It definitely doesn't make sense for leases that won't be bought out.

Doesn't seem like theres any consideration for leases. It's 5k still per car. Since the upgrade seems tied to the account rather than the car, I wonder if anyone that purchases this will lose that value if selling? Wish Rivian offered this as a subscription for those of us on leases or not...

Did the rubber insert part numbers change to BDTS-67-333 & BDTT-67-333?

There are certain features that are behind the paywall whether or not the car is getting internet access through wifi. There's currently a free trial for the hotspot and video features since it recently came out. I believe that will end shortly and those features will be back behind the connect+...

OP, I don't think your Hotspot and Chromecast/Video abilities will work after the free trial period is over, even if the car is connected to wifi.

Tesla Superchargers might be the way to go for this portion of the route. Maybe Rivian gave up and the adapter will get us there

What problem will be worse? Can you elaborate?

When I start paying for Connect+, I’m disconnecting it from my WiFi at home. Assuming they add enough worthwhile features soon.

Understood. But the reply was for someone saying it’s solely because satellite takes more bandwidth… not because of licensing costs.

In the OPs scenario, the car is not using the data connection Rivian provides. It’s connecting via WiFi to the drivers phone. Whether it’s more or less data, the car is using the phone plan the driver is paying for, not the LTE connection from the car.

No C+, no update yet. Looks like Rivian going to make us have FOMO with the Halloween car costumes starting before we get the update.

I have a mobile wifi device as a backup device if i ever need it. In theory, I could just leave that on in the car, where it would charge when using the car, and just stay on when car is "off". The wi-fi network would be available for the car so I don't see why I can't peak at the cameras if...
