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.
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...
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...
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...
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.
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.
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...
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...
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...
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...
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.
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...
