Yes! I had MAJOR heartburn when at the 13th hour I find out there's no way to opt-out of the data collection consent clause of my R1S purchase agreement, but after waiting 27 months, they had me on the hook! SMH Don't worry though, my wife and daughter (both Apple fangals) gave me enough...

Fair enough. Below are some links to educate yourself. What we know about car hacking, the CIA and those WikiLeaks claims Black Hat USA 2015: The full story of how that Jeep was hacked CAR HACKING HANDS-ON Apple Is Tracking You Even When Its Own Privacy Settings Say It’s Not, New Research...

Again, the government isn't the only threat vector, and as far as *BigTech*, like they say, if you are not paying for the service, then YOU ARE THE SERVICE. However, #sheeple would rather choose the *blue pill*. ;-)

Yet you finished by saying, "But, by and large, it's beyond your control" which is not correct unless refuse to give up Apple, Google, Amazon, Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, et. al.

Obviously, VPN client running on all devices all the time among other countermeasures, and Steve may or may not be my first name, but considering that I work w/ at least 5 Steves, might as well be John. ;-) Let's just say that I've spent 30+ years of my professional software engineering career...

Well then let me bring you back to topic then. WHEN (not IF) Rivian or one of its affiliates gets hacked with your private data, they are not liable since they required YOU to sign over your consent via their purchase agreement.

FWIW, anyone who uses ANY voice to speech command apps (e.g. Alexa, Siri, Google Assistant, etc.) have an open microphone from your device to a backend service at Amazon, Apple, Google, etc.

As always, *Ignorance is bliss*, but some of us *choose the red pill*. ;-)

The government isn't the only threat vector to be worried about; organized crime love this defeatist mentality, especially. Apparently, you've never had your credit/debit card information stolen? Imagine how much more damage a bad actor will do when they hack Rivian and get your location data...

Unless you are driving around w/ a privacy-oriented phone. e.g. https://puri.sm/products/liberty-phone/ https://de-googled.com/

Contrary to the *nothing you can do about it* myth, there are actually privacy phone and computer options unless you're a committed Apple fanboi then you are beyond help.

Sad to see comments above so easily giving up privacy rights. I can't believe ANYONE would opt-in on the event data recorder consent form as part of the purchase agreement, and was shocked to see that opting OUT of the other data collection was NOT an options. SMH There is no such thing as...

The fact that you think a USB connection will make a significant difference coming through a mediocre at best Rivian sound system is comical. That said, I'll put up my wife's Cayenne's 14 speaker Bose sound system vs ANY OTHER VEHICLE'S OEM sound system w/ or w/o USB. To each their own, but...

The Rivian sound system is ok but if it isn't Bose, then it's not great. Plain and simple. As far as USB vs Bluetooth, even the Amish don't use wires anymore. ? Never understand why anyone would want a separate USB device other than a 512g micro-SD card in their phone with cached music from...

Well, apparently Gaithersburg SC is doing some home service calls as well. I'm scheduled for one on July 18th and I live about 76 miles north of the SC.

Checking in from Harford Co. , MD. Anyone planning to go to the Electrify Expo in DC July 22-23, 2023?

Define *significant*. Hours? Days? Weeks?

Thanks! Unlike every other ICE vehicle, it's not listed in the Rivian User Guide.

Where *specifically* is the fuse box located? My R1S usb-c ports in the center console stopped working and I have a service call scheduled but I might as well check the fuse first.

Same thing happened to me after my 240V/60A line and Rivian home charger install. Chatted Rivian support after waiting on hold 30+ mins and they eventually pushed out an update and/or reset and then it worked fine.
