  1. Connect+ only for refreshed Gen 2 R1? Or coming to Gen 1 also?

    But it says tethering will be “basic” and thus free. So does that mean if I tether I can still use the native apps? If so that seems contradictory to RJ’s stack monetization model.
  2. Possible updates / upgrades coming s00n! R2 software? -- Q&A with head of software Wassym Bensaid

    I’m prepared to get absolutely flamed for this, but I really don’t care what Wassym is promising. What I do care about is content in the stack. And Rivian is way behind other manufacturers due to their control freak mentality. A pretty and integrated UI means nothing to me if the content is...
  3. Tesla saves Rivian - Mammoth Mountain Edition

    You’re not allowed to criticize Rivian or RJ on these forums. Everything is your fault and you’re required to be a fanboy.
  4. ABRP Send to Rivian

    ABRP is CarPlay compatible so all you have to do is pull it up on the Rivian screen and.........oh wait.
  5. 2024.11.2 Software Update Released! => Release Notes: Send Navigation, Mapping, Charging Feedback/Scores + Rear Display Improvements + More

    Well you certainly got me there. I feel really dumb and will try and think about my comments more before I hit the “post” button.
  6. 2024.11.2 Software Update Released! => Release Notes: Send Navigation, Mapping, Charging Feedback/Scores + Rear Display Improvements + More

    Weak. The available content in the stack is embarrassing. At the R2 launch RJ said safety is number one but still no voice to text. I can’t think of any modern car that doesn’t offer voice texting either native or through CP/AA. Still no Apple Music, Waze, Google Maps, onX etc. I love...
  7. Can we stop asking for CarPlay now? "The next generation of Apple CarPlay will take over all of the screens, sensors and gauges in a car..."

    I will happily stop asking for CP when Rivian delivers similar content. And it doesn't appear that's going to happen any time soon. I so often see comments about how the Rivian interface is so superior to CP. That's all well and good but for me the issue is what does the Rivian system offer...
  8. How-to: Watch videos on the Center Display Screen (FOR NOW)

    I just don't get the fascination with videos on the main screen. There's a ton of stuff I'd rather see Rivian put in front of that. But, to each his own.
  9. Minor damage repair estimate: $49,880!

    It’s already happened to me. Just got my premium notice from State Farm. $2700 a year for the R1T. When I took delivery in Sept of 22 it was half that.
  10. CarPlay & Android Auto Smart Dash Screen has arrived! New from EVSportline.com

    Installed last night using the under dash 12v. Couldn't be happier. I'll send a pic of it to RJ when the subscription prices are released.
  11. RCS/SMS text message support for infotainment?

    Because RJ has a deep seated desire to recreate the wheel and then find a way to charge us for it. It’s absolutely absurd that we don’t have this functionality right out of the box. But the fanboys will excuse it by saying “give them time, it’s a new company, they’re doing great things,” etc...
  12. CarPlay & Android Auto Smart Dash Screen has arrived! New from EVSportline.com

    Just ordered. RJ isn't going to like this one bit and that makes me quite happy.
  13. SiriusXM to Launch in Rivian Vehicles in 2024

    Actual cost of the resource, no? But common sense and experience should provide an obvious conclusion that adding CP/AA once would require fewer resources (not to mention immeasurable customer satification) than a slow custom approach for every single app. But then we follow the dollar and...
  14. SiriusXM to Launch in Rivian Vehicles in 2024

    So eventually this will require 2 subscriptions, one for XM and one for LTE. Swing and a miss. IMHO it's an unnecessary focus. We all know XM and many other useful apps would be available to us tomorrow if they added CP/AA. But RJ won't do that because he wants to monetize the stack. The...
  15. CarPlay & Android Auto Smart Dash Screen has arrived! New from EVSportline.com

    They’ve been told about the navigation issues a thousand times. This all rolls right up to RJ and his obsessive desire to “protect the stack”. He knows damn well he could resolve all of this over night but he won’t do it. He’s determined to monetize the infotainment system come hell or...
  16. Software Update 2023.42.0 is out (⚠️ UPDATE: OTA fix rolling out today 11/15/23)

    I thought I was one of the lucky unaffected ones who didn’t start the update. But I got in my R1T this morning and CarPlay didn’t work. Opening a ticket.
  17. RAN Charging Costs are now live! (at certain stations)

    Agreed. It would also be nice for them to reintroduce the Rivian subscription they were touting. It would be nice to have an all-in-one bundle for LTE, cheaper charging, and other features. Have three tiers for RAN: non-Rivian, Rivian, Rivian premium. ? Pass. It's already gonna suck to pay a...
