Not saying you're wrong by any means as I haven't done any research it, but if that were the case why wouldn't they also include Amazon music? I have Amazon music as it comes with my Prime subscription so I'd be able to use that vs not having Spotify. So having Amazon music wouldn't be ideal for...

Agreed, but I'd also like to see Apple music on there too. Not having carplay does suck (for me), but not being able to listen to music outside of streaming bluetooth unless using Spotify is a massive oversight in terms of an infotainment. Bluetooth audio quality is pretty bad.

@TFLtommy Good stuff. Thanks for the real world info. It's nice to see real world data vs marketing data.

Nice, cool to see it up against the Model Y Performance. I'd be curious what the drag race would look like with the Tesla on street tires and the Rivian not on AT's, but even with AT's and a road surface far from ideal it did great. Impressive

But how is allowing CP/AA a competing standard? Literally all other car companies (with the exception of wonderful Tesla) are allowing CP/AA. It's Rivian and Telsa that are the ones trying to make yet another standard.

But I'm not being resistant to change. What I'm saying is that I pay for a streaming service already for an entire family of 5. Because of the lack of CarPlay, you're saying that I need to abandon my family plan from one large streaming company to another, with no reason other than "sorry not...

I'm confused, so now are we saying walled gardens are totally cool and they can dictate what they want? Or that walled gardens are bad and we should have open standards and options?

I don't understand your sentiment though about "walled gardens". You're knocking people for using what you're describing as "walled gardens" while telling people it's okay to use the new closed standard of the Rivian. The Rivian infotainment is the one being the "walled garden". If each...

I agree, but you're acting like this is a mutually exclusive thing. You should be able to use both, just because it has CP/AA doesn't mean you have to use it for everything if you choose to do so. My phone doesn't know how much gas I have in my Grand Cherokee in CarPlay mode, but it doesn't...

For me it isn't a lack of willing to change, it's that it shouldn't be forced. Rivian thinks they can make a better ui and experience than CarPlay and the convenience of having that automatically synced to my phone since it is my phone, then i'm totally cool with it. But don't force people to...

Yeah not having CarPlay is a big deal for me. It's not going to cause me to cancel my preorder, but it is a massive feature that's missing. I have everything on my iPhone. I don't need HomeLink with the R1T as I have a homekit enabled garage door that CP automatically shows on the screen in...
