False equivalence. Rivian decided that they didnt need Apple Car play. Now I know why. So they could squeeze their loyal customers for a few extra dollars. I was never told they change it to a pay system. And yes, its a GIANT PITA to get the mobile hotpot to work every time you get in the truck.
Oh, and all this does is encouraging people to mess with their phones while driving if they dont want to pay for the service. These subscriptions are just getting out of hand
This is a bunch of BS. Am I the only not happy with this? I was willing to put up with no Apple Carplay until this? Now, I bet every time I want to stream it will be giant PITA to get the hotspot on my phone to work.
