Watch the scout come in and take a significant share of Rivian’s market due to decisions like these.

This! Many others as well.

I can tell you are not in Tech. The level of work for the implementation of CarPlay into Rivian is trivial. It has nothing to do work the non-sense you wrote. It’s a matter of control and subscription revenue.

Android Auto is on 91.9% of all vehicles sold in the U.S., while Apple CarPlay in 93.9%. of all vehicles sold in the U.S. Remember what happened to Blackberry?

I don’t think Apple frequents this forum much.

Probably before CarPlay is available on a Rivian.

I’m looking forward to it.

That’s OK buddy. I can manage.

They have had my deposit for nearly 3 years now. I will not buy it until it has Apple CarPlay. If it doesn’t, then I’ll solidity my Scout purchase.

I believe this vehicle is targeting more adventure and overlanding than hardcore off road trails. Ultimately it looks to be about the same width as the Bronco. I believe the mirros are a bit more rectangular than standard mirrors. The lenght is about 7" longer than a R1S but it includes the...

And that’s OK. 300M+ people in the US. It’s good to have options. I think the heritage factor is attractive. The buttons is a big deal for many people. RE is a huge plus. Looks are fantastic. Like a Rivian and a Bronco went giggity giggity. Looks aggressive and capable but good enough for daily...

Confirmation Bias or personal preferences?

Looks like you are trying very hard not to like it. Stick with Rivian. The idea of variety is to satisfy a market with different needs.

Rivian’s Alexa Integration and lack of tactile Buttons is the reason I never pulled the trigger. For the Bronco, it was a bit too utilitarian compared to other options. I believe the Scout nailed all the misses from these two options. The Scout is in my opinion a perfect solution and will...

Looking forward to delivery of my $180,000 Rivian R1S in 2026.

Rivian little by little milking $20K out of everyone. I wouldn’t be surprised they actually go bankrupt if they keep this up.

is the Rivian your primary vehicle?

My first EV was a BMW i3 with 80 miles range. I would get home with 10-20 miles every day. Charge every day. Never worried about driving too fast, or A/C too cold, or radio too loud or battery degradation. This was 8 years ago.

This is true but also the reason why the Rivian is not targeted as our road trip vehicle. Too much uncertainty with EVs and Long Trips (500+ miles)

Why are we so obsessed with Range? Unless you drive 100+ miles per day, I see no concern on a 260-320+ mi battery pack even with cold weather losses. That still leaves 150-200 miles of range which is plenty. Driving a vehicle like this at max 65mph, not warming the cabin enough because of...
