Yeah only AirPods and Apple Watch which are ubiquitous and best selling in their categories now. And they are currently the only company over $3T, not former. But Jobs best product legacy was Apple itself. Musk is too much of a narcissist to care about his successor
That is only one of multiple revenue streams for Google Maps. They 100% also charge application providers license fees for usage and features per vehicle/user.
This is because your TV also supports AirPlay. Apple does not support Google Cast natively from any of its own apps just like Google does not support AirPlay natively (iOS can AirPlay any video/audio unless the app developer specifically blocks it). Apple Music, TV+, Photos, etc will not work...
I agree that this gives the most overall coverage and is a good first step. Missing from your stats is that it provides 100% coverage to all of the Android OS and any apps on it, but only partial coverage for iOS via specific apps (zero for the OS). Also, the percentage of Rivian users with...
I’ve been to Mammoth 6 times in the past year, stayed at different places (lodge, Airbnb, hotel, cabin) each time, had all varieties of weather conditions, and I never had a problem like you did. General EV charging planning works and I’ve never charged at any level of Tesla charger in town. I...
Nope. I’m pretty sure Rivian doesn’t want their software to be responsible or blamed if you kill someone else or yourself “cruising” at 90+ mph.
Slight correction: the week number is when the release version is cut, not when it’s started. An engineering team is working on features for a while that may or may not make it into a release, sometimes months. After a release candidate is built, it has to go through final QA and then field...
I don’t think this is necessarily a widespread thing and maybe your truck has a debug logging flag enabled. Or something else is stuck in a retry loop. Here is mine for the past 30 days and download is a little lower than normal while upload is a little higher, but both are fairly within normal...
You’ve owned 3-5 cars a year since Bluetooth phones connected to OEM radios? And they all performed the exact same? ?
I’m on calls every day for work when driving and I get out and switch on my phone. Not a big deal. Could Rivian disconnect Bluetooth after shifting to park and your butt is off...

Monthly updates are great, but where are the big promised features?
- Blindspot and bed cams
- Big tow update
- Rear screen apps
- Video streaming and Apple Music apps
It is not quite a $100B investment although it does cost around $1B+ annually to maintain, so you need that income from somewhere, like from selling ads or smartphones. But Rivian isn’t trying to build it from the ground up, they are using Mapbox and now ABRP. I think it’s possible for them to...
20” AT dark here and this is with the pre-March pricing discount after I mentioned it to the rep on the phone:
I’m going to verify with the SC manager that this is the correct pricing before I pay when I pick it up.
I’ve been using this for years and it has worked almost flawlessly. It has an interesting MFA function between your phone and car, along with geofences, night mode and a lot of other great options and works as an add on with most door openers.

My wife is 5’2” and has no problem helping get things out from the frunk or the bed sides when in kneel mode. I’ve heard multiple people complain about it recently but it’s inaccurate. The CT’s angled bed walls are both hideous and bad design.
Fair, but hey, he was standing in front of some random equipment so it’s more real now. ?
The overhead cam and rear screen functionality comments were new to me, but not really groundbreaking. It would be great to see their actual roadmap but people wouldn’t be able to handle the standard...
I’m surprised nobody’s jumped on the announcement from RJ on IG AMA that they’re working on a bidirectional charger for existing vehicles. No idea when it’s actually going to come out but I’m all in once it does.
I hate to disturb the conspiracy theorizing, but I’m still on 2023.10.2 and I also feel the launch mode change (the difference is obvious), and it had worked normally multiple times while I was already on 2023.10.2. So either this is some sort of remote programmable parameter separate of main...
