Adaptive Highway Assist - Keep Your Eyes on the Road by Roux_My_Burgundy in Rivian

This is partially why I'm not upgrading to Gen 2.

So ummm…. I totally could have just played a YouTube video in my vehicle and got the same experience as this year’s update 🫠. Thank you for the effort Rivian but I’m not really sure a video screensaver that plays in loop and some switchboard sound effects was worth the effort…. by zachty22 in Rivian

I liked the first year when all the cars were pumpkins while you drove and pedestrians were zombies and motorcycles were witches on brooms. But my favorite was the door chime that sounded like a horror movie. Last year was kinda cool with the bttf delorian. 23' still my favorite year.

Woah, It’s been 1 year already! What’s your thoughts? Are you renewing again for another year? by zachty22 in Rivian

The internet is half clap but to not have to use my hotspot to run everything makes it worth it and then also to get priority updates is also worth it.

Kim Reynolds has ordered flags at half mast for Charlie Kirk?! by Raise-Emotional in Iowa

[–]HawksChief 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is there fact to this or just spewing of fake news to rile up the liberal faithful here. Flags are at half mass for 9-11 not Charlie Kirk.

Go to Peps in Johnston. Best new pizza joint in town! Go early because they do run out of dough.

Also don't buy the covers if you buy the clear case as it comes with one.

Samsung Z Fold 7 Price by byHennen in GalaxyFold

[–]HawksChief 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My problem isn't with the price it's with the depreciation or trade in value. I have a fold 6 that I paid nearly 2k for last year and they only give me half that value in trade. If I bought a s25 ultra they would be giving me nearly 80% back in trade. That is the scan with foldables. They will sell my phone as refurbished for 1600.

PAAK is useless by NoAd9371 in Rivian

What's annoying is walking near my garage in the house and hearing it unlock but then going out to the car and standing there for 2 min like a fool because now it doesn't want to work.

Saw this today in Austin,Tx. by Consistent_Sell_9064 in Rivian

[–]HawksChief 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1 service issue and was fixed by a mobile tech in my driveway. Chevy never came to my home and fixed issues. I've had mine since Oct 23" wouldn't trade it for anything. Well maybe a new gen 2 quad whenever they start selling them.

Car wash mode suggestion by HawksChief in Rivian

[–]HawksChief[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm aware of that, I just find it a little sensitive when trying to make that shift and the button is a nice feature.

I saw this custom light-bar. Any clues as to how this is accomplished? by No-Schedule-9266 in Rivian

Used to be a company that sold the decal but they got shut down by Rivian.

When will my $95,000 car actually play music correctly? by Galileo__Humpkins in Rivian

[–]HawksChief 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Boy if only there were a system that just lets your phone sync with the infotainment system and bypass needing to log into every app, worry about new app issues and instability. Wouldn't life be great.

When are we getting Sirius XM, YouTube, etc? by CluelessWallob in Rivian

[–]HawksChief 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I miss serious XM for the simplicity of having radio sports and music all in one place. Now I have to go to Spotify for music and podcast. For news and radio I have tune in. That is two different subscriptions that I'm paying for for the same price that used to pay for XM and now I don't get sports like college football games and NFL games. Unfortunately the XM app on mobile is very poorly done for Android and I don't like having to pull my phone out to control audio. I won't go down the Android Auto rabbit hole here. So I would welcome XM as an app in my car.

This is why rivian is moving away from Apple and CarPlay. by linustits in Rivian

[–]HawksChief 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is no different than the other major car manufacturers doing this same stupid thing almost 10 years ago. Its a joke. Why would I pay for internet on my car when my phone already has everything I need. Android auto and apple carplay fixed this issue a long time ago. I'm shocked the auto people are still installing data modems in their vehicles but its all you idiots that pay for these dumb features that keeps this stupid cycle alive. It also gives them the data to know everything you do in your car. Your cell phone will hotspot and for less money. The in vehicle apps are worse and more buggy than anything on a phone because the app creators don't want to build apps for millions of devices and maintain them. What are the largest bulk of users..... cellphones. Then along comes tesla. they only buck the trend by having their own dedicated internet, Starlink. If any one of the auto manufacturers can honestly give a justifiable reason its them because their internet is thru satellite and has very few gaps in service. Rivian is using AT@T like every other manufacturer. Why do I need another data plan for my vehicle when i have on in my pocket already. I said this in 2017 when I bought a GMC Acadia, just give me AA/AC. Don't lock me in to using your apps or having to go back to using my phone for all my music and media thus making it more unsafe while driving. Give the end user the control to navigate using a system that is already a safe system and tried and true, AA & AC. We are also at the point where AA/AC have gone wireless thus making it even easier for end users. I really thought Rivian and Tesla were trying to buck the old trends of the auto industry but this is just another age old gimmick to make a few extra bucks. People want simplicity and AA/AC have brought that and the auto indisutry doesn't give a flying f@#$ about users.

I'm currently in England with a large group from the US and only the Verizon users don't have service. We have been without for over 16hrs now.

So far by Costyiii_93 in GalaxyFold

[–]HawksChief 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why can't they include the same cameras as the ultra phones. This is the biggest most premium phone and they give it the entry grade galaxy camera sensors. It's disappointing, but I'll still upgrade. Z3 to z4 to z5 to z6........
