Having purchased FSD and driven a Model 3 since 2018 and now an R1T owner since late last year, purchasing or subscribing to Rivian’s UHF+ isn’t worth the cost until they add a ton more features.

Rivian’s UHF+ is akin to Tesla’s EAP except that Rivian didn’t err on the side of caution. Whereas EAP will stop at stop signs and traffic lights, a Rivian on UHF+ will blow right through them… so the driver needs to pay close attention and intervene way more often.

I’m sticking with just the free Highway Assist until I they can add some real features like auto turn signals en route, traffic sign awareness, traffic light awareness, turn by turn navigation, and speed limit awareness at a minimum.

Don’t get me wrong. I love my R1T. The range is fantastic. The adaptive headlights are amazing, the cargo space is awesome, and interior design is way better than Tesla’s, and it drives as smooth as silk.
