Rivian Subscription Services - A Look At What's Coming?

Take this with a grain of salt, but could indicate remote gear guard viewing is coming along with an AA/CP workaround via screen mirroring. Unfortunately it's coming at a cost...

Original Thread

"I’m working with Rivian Fleet on acquiring multiple vehicles (R1’s & RCV’s) for my company. This screen shot was on an info sheet I was sent for a 2023 R1S.
I know this isn’t breaking news, and this actual screenshot may have been posted previously, but I see questions or comments daily about the streaming features. Note that all of these will require a monthly subscription, which is obvious. What excites me is Gear Guard video listed in this box…hoping that remote viewing comes sooner than later. Also pretty excited to learn more about “Fleet Mode”"

Pretty much what I would expect in the subscription. Wonder if we would still have basic gear guard without a subscription.

So, we are going to have to pay to use our Netflix, etc subscription to beam it to the big screen? Ffs.

Its not a feature now so I can see them charging for it.

We need new maps, not Satellite Images of these crappy existing outdated maps. Or let me screen mirror Waze/Google maps while driving...

I'm all for it.

So no playing audio files from USB Storage + no USB Audio + no headphone-in jack = pay twice for streaming audio?

I"m sure the navigation maps will still be there and will be free. This is just for paid services.

you can still stream from your phone over bluetooth.

I would not get too carried away trying to read into this and what is or isn't "free/bundled" for consumers. OP said this is for a commercial fleet negotiation. It's possible that connectivity costs/options are different to provide the lowest possible cost for fleets.

I'd pay $3.50/mo for it

This isn't the same

means nothing. that could be separate for "fleet orders".
Rivian will likely move to a fee for the "premium LTE service" which they have said they will do at some point and mirrors what Tesla did. You may need the "premium LTE" to enable things like live camera view, entertainment apps and live traffic updates (also like Tesla).
It's doubtful after past customer service screwups that they would make the mistake of trying to nickel and dime customers for each added service separately....even legacy automakers have taken heed and backed off plans to do that...

I really wonder what they mean by Screen Mirroring in the context of Internet subscription services. Is this mirroring what's on the screen over the Internet to the fleet manager? Or maybe something like Chromecast (or whatever Amazon is using.) Or is it AA/CP? Hmmm...

but that's how it is now. Maybe they will have USB audio eventually.
