You can currently download tracks and/or entire playlists locally on Spotifyon your Phone so no need for cell service if you download your music to your phone. I’ll play with it tomorrow but if Rivian has the Spotify App native, then it would potentially leave my phone completely out of the...

I currently have to plug my phone in every time I want car play, and its a drag...I am also listening to Spotify streaming which is not lossless. If I can get similar quality and my phone stay in my pocket that's a win. To be clear I have not done a market study, but I would foolishly hazard...

Well luckily, Rivian made the correct decision to use their resources creating a UI design for their specific electric vehicle, and not one designed to work w/ dozens of ICE cars, screen, and integration design compromises. So chalk me up to the group that agrees with them and look forward to...

What % of the public in your estimation keeps music on USB sticks at this point, and if you were the CEO of Rivian would you spend resources during launch on that functionality vs. hundreds/thousands of other priorities?

About? I’ll remind you of a Steve Jobs quote: “People don't know what they want until you show it to them. That's why I never rely on market research. Our task is to read things that are not yet on the page.” CarPlay is the least Apple like interface (my first computer was a First gen Mac 128k...

I have used CarPlay for years...there has been 1 update to the UI. It's horrible. Can't wait to ditch it...Just today banners from Waze blocked the down scroll icon...and then Radio usage, text UI covering the whole screen.... I have a feeling when people use a UI designed for a much much...

This interface looking, purely in my opinion, and a looong time user of Apple CarPlay to be far far superior...

I have been using carplay since launch, use it every day that I drive in the car. That said, the UI, just in my opinion, is simplistic and at times frustrating. They have to deal w/ many cars, including small screens...if they could use a large hi-res screen, Car Play would likely be a whole...

Ummm...Well, to start its a full size SUV. It also has 805hp. It also has 4 motors for tracking in rain, snow, sand, rocks. It also has (what I have heard) amazing on-road performance. I have seen nothing, even on the horizon, close...

I was a weird guy with a computer at home at one point in my life…now everyone has one in their pocket. Things can change pretty quickly.

This is a funny discussion...I am price insensitive....$10k is not material to me, so I guess I could get the max pack, but as a data point for the discussion, I don't want it...Not sure why, but I could afford the Lucid @ $125K too... It might be a learning to live within my means...

Not getting involved in the max pack discussion, but nearly 99% of my driving on a per trip basis is 120 miles or less. If I add at 45 min lunch + charging, the range is now close to where I would prefer to fly. I guess we'll see, but I can't imagine cancelling a trip across town if you have a...

He done talking like road_dawg_rivian feller now

Done = don't...lol. So I guess when turning, as the headlights don't turn, the lower lights activate to illuminate as the steering wheel turns to directionally shine light into the turn. I assume they then turn off when steering out of the turn and straight, at that point just relying on the...

I may have reading comprehension issues but that phrasing in the post means very little to me...done turn? Does all that work?...ahh?

Well, this might be the wrong thread and pretty meaningless in the delay debate, but this Rivian in the Oakland CA hills had legit CA temporary plates (took the photo 25 min ago)...so someone got one ;)

Who knows when I'll get the R1S to test, but repeating myself (again) my expectation is that I can drive from San Francisco to Tahoe, which is 200 miles, without needing to charge. I have done it now 3 times in a Tesla without issue...if the Rivian can't do it so be it, but I will report back...

I guess we'll see...200 miles to Tahoe for me is my expectation...if I need to stop for 20 cool, but was thinking I would not. We'll see. My friend has driven to Tahoe multiple times in a 2020 Model S without stopping this year from SF, including with me in it....so again, we'll see...

Maybe Tesla is shitty w/ range estimates? 231 miles on a full charge seems well within spec. When I get my R1S perhaps I can say definitely yes or no. I guess we'll see, but I would be disappointed with a loss of 15% as a result of mild temps of + ~30 degrees and a 6k elevation gain

I am fairly successful, and get that is privileged, so $10k does not move the needle...more that my family who get the car next. I think they will be Ok w/ mileage even if I end up buying the R2S in a few years...
