Yeah, lemme tell ya I'm a pretty cynical squeaky wheel.

Even so, I'm willing to give this a pass specifically because we know that "Lane Change On Command" (used in the feature-set language of RAP+), is different than "Lane Change Assist" (used in the...
Hmm, sorry if my edits are not making it through. But on my end, this is the 4th bullet under "Coming to Gen1, but not for the June OTA update"
Only confirmed for Quad. No mention for/against the inclusion of Dual Performance.
I believe I heard that everyone will get something like 2 months of Connect+ for free (someone please correct me if I'm wrong). The presumption is that Phone Tethering will be up before that free period ends.
Apple Music confirmed to come later this summer.
My understanding is;
Gen1 is using MobilEye v4 permanently
Gen2 has MobilEye v5 for now, but the vehicle is equipped to switch over to Rivian's solution when it's ready.
Presumably, Gen3 will drop MobilEye
This is based off of this reddit comment:
This requires Gen2. The community has surmised that Gen2 uses a newer version of MobileEye, which on the MobileEye website specifically calls out features that Rivian is also advertising for RAP+ (exclusive to Gen2), such as;
Automated Lane Changes
Traffic awareness (Speed reduction when...
Hey everyone, here's a consolidated summary of Wassym's AMA yesterday. I believe I've captured anything, but please let me know if I missed anything.
Statements/Commitments on Gen1 Driver+ Longevity
For autonomous features, they have committed to supporting Gen1 if the hardware allows.
No...
As I understand it, this is coming to Gen1! Although I believe the new hardware will enable more vehicles to be shown around you in the dash, but the overall style will be this.
I'm very curious to know how Rivian exactly defines an "enhanced feature" versus a "new feature".
There's a few different aspects of Driver+ which I would consider a bug, and addressing it would be an enhancement to me. But I expect Rivian sees the functionality gap, and addressing it would be...
Yeah this is what grinds my gears. "OTA updates will make it competitive" is the messaging we've been hearing since the beginning. It's hilarious in the most frustrating way to hear Kyle casually saying Gen2 is going to fork any get OTA updates to be competitive, and that Gen1 won't get the...
I think this is true with most vehicles. It normally takes a decade or so to roll out a complete redesign.
Otherwise, it's a "1.2 improvement" every year or two. That compounds though, and fans of those vehicles celebrate each time.
But yeah to your point, the press is very celebratory, and...
Sorry if this is old news. I live 240 miles away from a service center, and had to jump through some hoops just to have Rivian's system greenlight my purchase last year. If I typed in my ZIP code, it would just say "sorry, we're not delivering to this ZIP code." I feel like I checked in the last...
Interesting. Wonder if we'll see that on the new update for Gen1, or maybe it's sharing a circuit with the rear window and can't be separated? Either way I've replaced my example, thanks for calling that out.
What we know so far:
Connect+ is a paid connectivity service which will offer things like satellite imagery and hotspot, and whatnot. This will be offered for both Gen1 and Gen2
Rivian Autonomy Platform (RAP) is the replacement of Driver+
Gen1 will keep Driver+
Gen2 will have RAP
The free...
As with any one-sided story, I say this with a gigantic asterisk; (*if your account of the events are wholly correct then) I would say Rivian's in the wrong.
What's interesting to me is your description of the guide saying you were being deliberately misrepresentative. That's oddly direct of...
Yeah ditto. Essentially just "at least better than my old RAV4, please" is what I was after ? I mean, a man can dream about an E2E system (city streets included), but really just was expecting more QOL improvements on the highway, and some non-geofenced concessions.
I'm of 2 minds about this.
On one hand, Rivian sold identical materials for less money, which means that there's no loss to Rivian if they enable it. Right-to-repair and all that suggests that the customer has a right to enable the extra capacity if they have the ability (which they don't, at...
Totally. I'm seeing people saying that we should be glad that Gen1 has Adaptive Cruise Control and Lane-Centering, but... my $28k 2020 ICE RAV4 had these also, and with no geofencing.
For Rivian to tout themselves as an autonomous-pursuing, constantly-improving, software-focused UX car company...
