The car runs on Google's Android OS, its essentially a skin like when you buy those Cheap Fire tablets, that keep you within the Amazon ecosystem. Carplay /Android are great for ONLY 2 reasons.. 1) allows you to use your music app of choice, maps, and navigation WITHOUT having to buy an...

If you want to send me a set, I'll review them. I ended up getting OEM pair

The Rivian only uses 4g LTE, this isn't going to work as well as you hope. Maybe if the Car and Phone are on the same wi-fi, but in that case go in the house and watch the TV

Nice! Leasing is not Available in my state.

AWESOME, Enjoy. I can not justify or afford the the $25K price difference + depreciation for an equal Gen 2, let alone tri motor

read. the. words ... I said most people who road-trip likely do it less than 3 times a year. To add to that I would say, most who do the 1-2 road trips a year aren't doing over 900 miles each way, which is about 4-6 charging stops of less than 30 minutes. But yes, to double down on my # 2...

Sure, 1 ) Most people don't road-trip, and the ones who do, do it at best 2x a year. 2) if you're spending that much time at a public charger, you shouldn't have bought an EV at all 3) the display and functionality of a tablet or phone is far better than the experience you get on an in car...

Agreed! - the fact that 2021 Ford Mach-E can and has got OTA updates to make their hands-free system as good as it is even adding lane-change, and our Gen 1s (with more sensors and cameras than the ford) is stuck this level is ridiculous for a car that is vertically integrated and cost 2x...

I have 2 kids

Kids have phones and tablets. These features are gimmick party tricks.

You're right no one asked for touchscreens, but it reduces manufacturing time and inventory so it was pushed on the market. Actually, you do need Bluetooth or the phone-as-a-key wouldn't work, PaaK is also another way to reduce cost. Not having BT would lock music access behind a paywall...

UGH. Why do people want their cars to be their living rooms. You don't need games or movies in the car.

Mine is sun and nuclear powered! Coal fired plants are reducing, and carbon capture technologies are rapidly growing. EVs are the only car that get cleaner as they get older. But again, its a thimble from the ocean.

Yeah Electric cost will vary by location and current cost of gas "evaluate for your use case" EVs make a very small, yet positive impact of CO2 emission, Us EV people need to stop with the holier than thou BS , we are saving the planet. Sometime EV people can be as annoying as vegans.

NO SHIT.... Public charging is more expensive, especially if you value your time. But the difference is you NEED gas stations for 100% of your fueling needs. you should only need public charging a few times a year at best. Don't buy an EV 1) if you're looking to save $$, do a total cost of...

Just buy one of these https://amzn.to/4ikc77v Why go through all that BS

I find these to be useless personally.

Doubtful from rivian end but but insurance should payout based on the value not what you paid.

Its a sales tool, not a route planner

Charge to whatever level gets you whatever mileage you need to do to get through the day. Don't overthink it.
