^^ Exactly this. A friend put their R2 preorder in after I proselytized but has no plans to purchase if they don't add carplay in the meantime. They're a Honda family and would just as soon buy a Prologue or one of the many competitors in that size and price segment that offers everything they want.

Assuming this extends to Android Auto as well, I would love to see it. For one, it's optional. The first party software white knights can just ignore it if they don't like the implementation. More importantly to me, there are enough people for whom this is an absolute must-have because their...

Disclaimer: I haven't read back through all posts here to see if this was mentioned. Apologies if someone else has mentioned it. I used OP's settings as a baseline and was still unimpressed with how flat everything sounded. Then I happened upon this post on reddit and it turned out to be the...

Yes, you will still have to pay for Connect+ to get the integrated Apple Music functionality. The reason they stated is that it will use the vehicle's data connection for streaming services. If you don't pay for Connect+, you can still stream Apple Music from your phone via bt. Integrated...

The new gen2 base option is a 20" with a 33" road tire. I did not catch the tire model. The new 22" option also remains a 33" tire and has aero covers. Either way, if you're looking to switch from 21s because they're being discontinued, you have efficient OEM options to size up or down. Keep...

This makes me feel better about my decision to lease...

My delivery experience with the Richmond team was excellent. I had a similar situation: I routed a flight to RIC returning from a business trip to take delivery, and they were very reassuring that everything will have been inspected ahead of time and ready to go for me, and it was. Best of...

Finally got a break in the schedule and weather to get out to the trails

These were all on my list as well, but I went with an Emporia based on the State of Charge youtube channel. It was one of their top choices 2 years in a row. Had it hardwired to a 60A and it's been excellent so far.

Picked mine up in VA on 5/9 and haven't heard anything from Rivian or NCDOT yet. Plenty of time, so I'm not concerned yet, but you're not alone.

I had the same issue a couple times with the camp speaker randomly grabbing my phone when it's locked in the truck and should presumably be off. I don't plan to use it so often that I need it paired to my phone, so I've unpaired it. Would love a more "positive" fix for this.

Just happened to me this morning (Day 7 of ownership) but, fortunately, a software restart solved it. I know that doesn't help you, OP, but I wanted to mention it for others who may find this later.

This is adapting without CP. It’s fine. I’m not counting on it happening (although I don’t know why anyone is so sure it won’t). But to say it shouldn’t is what I disagree with. If it’s ever added, it’s just an option. Don’t use it if you don’t want it.

Could not disagree more with this take. AA/CP are safer integrations than our current options. Even setting aside the navigation stuff because I find Rivian’s to be fine, having text message dictation and moving certain controls off our phones and onto the vehicle’s screen is inherently safer by...

I don't know how it "would be almost useless" if it also "worked and kept my son engaged...". If it let us throw a show on for my kids when we found ourselves out and about without a tablet, I'd be happy to have the option.

Many cars have several options for these kinds of services. I hope, if anything, that this signals a willingness to work with Google (and Apple) to get more + better integration of their services. I'm not holding my breath on CP/AA but youtube music and apple music would be very welcome!

I'm not aware of any CarPlay implementations that support Airplay. My wife's Kia (wired CP) certainly does not.

I have not gone through the tire replacement process yet, but I was faced with the same decision when I chose my spec, and I went with the 21" for the efficiency (>95% road miles for me), road noise, and comfort. My hope is that by the time I have to replace them, there will be more options in...

n=1 but I'm going through the purchase process right now and have had a good experience with my guide(s). The only odd bit is that I was given a particular guide's name, but I reached out via email and have been contacted by 2 other guides, including a phone call with one of them. I have never...
