Rivian Autonomy Platform+ Trial Extended (Subscription Start Delayed)

[Dark-Fx]

Rivian doesn't have lidar in any of their consumer vehicles. They are using radar though, something Tesla isn't doing anymore.

They should roll it into Connect+ , not have additional subscriptions. They may have better adoption of connect+ that way.

The point of the subscription is to offset development costs. Connect+ cost covers the services tied to the product. Adding in more cost would raise the price of Connect+ but not allow the services to be decoupled. Combining RAP+ with Connect+ makes no sense, and the current a la carte methid is the right way to offer these disparate services.

And Connect+ adoption is north of 80%, so it doesn't seem like they need to boost the Connect+ offerings.

My Gen2 still says 'Renew before free trial expires in June 2025' just curious are you seeing this on a Gen1?

In my Gen2 it does work really well compared to the Gen1 I traded in.

No, RAP is not even available for Gen 1.

Sorry you are right I was looking at Connect+

With $200k+ worth of Rivian's sitting in my garage, if they actually ask me for another $50 / month for this it will likely blow up my relationship with the company.

Once they get it working, they need to take a page out of GM's book and for the higher end vehicles and trims give 3 years included. The R2 can be subscription based like the Chevy. R1s need to get at least a couple more years once it starts to function.

For now, however, Driver+ blows.

Agree - can't even match what my model S could do in 2015. Very unimpressive. Get something that works before asking for subscriptions.
