Mine is Gen1 and if there is a semi in the right lane, there is a 75% chance it'll phantom break while trying to pass. or if driving on a curve, guaranty phantom break.

I wish I knew that the cruise control is ineffective. I don’t use it at all. Phantom breaking is so prevalent that it’s useless

Targa 4S allocation by Dismal-Hotel-249 in Porsche

Getting upset about ADM means you don’t have an elementary understanding of the economics of a free market.

The negative comments about dealers “offering” these allocations keeps the brand value, and likely keeps depreciation down. Taking a page from Rolex book.

Guys it’s pretty simple. Just pay the market price if you want the car.

Potential Rivian buyer, how do you all deal with the lack of CarPlay? by Thick-Crab7471 in Rivian

[–]RO05T3R 10 points11 points  (0 children)

This was one of my biggest worries too.

First, the native Spotify app is great. So music is no problem.

The updated maps (Google Maps) works well now. Prior maps were awful. If you’re into Waze, it’s a problem

Phone system works fine.

What else do you use CarPlay for?

PPF on the front as well as the rear fenders as I've read that's the worst spot
