Chill. I never said this is a Rivian problem. And stations are fully aware of this and have long since given into this.
You chill too. I was just pointing out it isn't Rivian's problem to fix. Plus, there are other ways to get local weather and traffic. Rivian nav already show traffic. Across the different Rivian-related online platforms people keep complaining and point fingers at Rivian when solutions do exist and not necessarily even ones for Rivian to solve.

I actually kind of consider it a safety issue. Maybe just carry a portable AM/FM radio or something. In case either
A. You're outside of cell reception but still want weather/traffic data etc
B. Something goes wrong, cyberattack or something on internet infra
Probably in the <1% on this, but I do carry one of those "all-in-one" AM/FM/Shortwave/Weather radios", that can be charged normally or operated via hand-crank or solar panel to charge, and can also charge other devices (e.g., phones) from its built-in battery.

Keep it under the back seat next to my entrenching tool. I'll probably never need this kind of stuff, but you know the saying "better to have it and not need it than need it and not have it". 😉

Yeah I'm surprised there's not an overlap here from the people who are worried about the rear doors not working after an accident.

what if you get into an accident and your radio doesn't work, and you can't hear the weather forecast about the flash floods that just started??

I mean, I am one of those people who doesn't like the hidden pull-handle cord thingamajigs to open the doors from inside. 🤷

Then I guess I will just die, LOL. You can come take care of all my cats. 😹😹
