Well, I guess you guys are free of me complaining about this. The Silverado EV has CarPlay as standard, and the midgate seems like a more useful feature to me than the gear tunnel... so directing my funds elsewhere. Hopefully Rivian comes around on this one day!

It has the midgate, and almost certainly has carplay... I think this is the EV truck I'm going to get!

I would not have my drivers license without Waze. :rolleyes:

Yes, but the Rivian is not including a homelink like devise. The FCC filing for the car did not including anything in the frequency range of garage door openers. So, if they're planning to do any sort of garage door opener, it'll be an IoT internet controled situation (presumably Alexa based...

Even if they made a system that was great, app developers are never going to put anywhere near the effort into a headunit with 0.00001% the install base of the iphone. Windows phone couldn't swing it with 1-3% of the market. So if you want waze for police notifications, you're SOL. If you want...

It requires an internet connection, which means your car needs a data plan, which means you need to be paying for their service.

It does have a subscription service, but having CarPlay and homelink means I don’t care. I can not pay and the car will still function as I desire (e.g. open the garage door).

Hummer is going to start at less than $80,000, once we get through the launch edition cars (which are already all sold). I’m thinking I’m probably going to get the Hummer instead of the Rivian, primarily because it has CarPlay and homelink. Rivian is really pissing me off with the deliberate...

I’m thinking I’m probably going to get the Hummer instead of the Rivian, primarily because it has CarPlay and homelink. Rivian is really pissing me off with the deliberate gimping of their car to push their subscription service. Really killing me desire for the car.

A lot of people live in areas without cell phone service. Anything other than RF won't work at all.

Stick one of those on my visor, suction cup the phone to my windshield, run a charging cable from the cigarette lighter… can’t wait to find out other sweet Rivian features await me. Maybe they can figure out a way to make the rain sensing wipers dependent on their subscription service, too, so I...

Feeling like another money grab, like no CarPlay. Want to be able to open your garage? Pay for our monthly service so your car has internet service. … Also another issue that can be avoided if they add CarPlay, since it opens HomeKit garage door openers as standard.

It is generally frowned upon to operate touch screen smart phones while driving, too.

Or $46, on this truck ? But, yes— agreed. Selling a $70,000+ truck and then deliberately making it worse to incentivize a subscription is petty and user hostile.

They didn't say they won't. They said they might. So... makes sense to push it, if you're otherwise enthused with the truck. I want them to add it so I can buy one, as I do want the truck. Just not with a glaring flaw (to me).

The problem is that Rivian more or less has a monopoly on this, at the moment. But, yeah, taking my money and walking is going to be my strategy of choice if they don't add carplay. ... Lucid is supporting carplay, so perhaps it'll be time to add another sedan to the fleet. All else equal, I'd...

Already today you can convey state of charge and range information to CarPlay, which can be used for EV route planning at least in Apple Maps (don't know if other apps also support it, but certainly they will in the future if they don't already). This is not a stumbling block.

One of the things that's nice about CP/AA is that the systems don't become dated-- they update with the phone's OS. Better processors every time you upgrade your phone, better software every time you update your phone's OS, faster internet connectivity as phone modems/networks improve.

We’ll have to consult Microsoft on how that worked out for window’s phone ?
