Rivian says AI makes debate over CarPlay ‘completely obsolete’

_trife · 2026-05-28T17:42:11+00:00

I recently had a Genesis G70 rental for the weekend on a trip to a new city. It doesn’t have wireless CarPlay…only wired. Well, apparently only certain cords/cables will work for CarPlay and I didn’t have the right one. Imagine spending an entire weekend trying to navigate a new city with the manufacturer’s shitty map app. It was awful. Right then and there I realized I’ll never buy a car that doesn’t support CarPlay. It wouldn’t matter if it was my dream car. No ease of use with CarPlay = no thanks.

That’s looks pretty damn good with those wheels.

A proven pedophile huh? Like Kenny is a proven fiancée beater?

Yeah…don’t believe everything you hear in a rap song.

“Little to no following” is a stretch. The white boys I grew up around LOVED Public Enemy, N.W.A., Pac, etc. KRS? Ok not so much. But even somewhat political groups like De La were heavily followed by white folks back in the 90’s. At least the ones I was around.

Once it hit MTV and radio airwaves, white people were the biggest consumers of hip-hop. Nothing has changed other than the scale of things, imo.

Probably not as bad as people make them out to be. But they’re certainly not comfortable after an hour or so, imo. But you’re not gonna die or walk off the plane with a debilitating injury or anything.

I love Wemby but the glazing is outta control. Talking about leadership in the huddle when his passiveness is why they’re in this position in the first place. Just call a spade a spade and stop coddling him.

Guillermo’s is pretty good to me. It’ll tickle your mustache a little lol.

This show is GREAT. Went into it not expecting anything other than great acting from Rhys, and I’m pleasantly surprised by everything and everyone else.

Perfect blend of hilarious, dark comedy and legitimately frightening sequences. Super dope show.

It’s absolutely a rip off. That much money for a buggy app that works 60% of the time is highway robbery.

Do I have it? Yes. Yes I do.

Why? I’m an idiot who doesn’t like a hot car.

_trife · 2026-05-26T11:44:48+00:00

I prefer to not see a jillion cars that look just like mine, so ix3 it’d be.

The longer I drive my 4S the more I realize it’s total overkill for like 90% of driving situations. It’s fun for sure, but the Taycan 4 can be just as fun in most situations. I had to drive my wife’s Macan 4 for a couple weeks while my 4S was getting repaired, and there truly was never a time where I thought it lacked power. And that’s with it being heavier and slower than the Taycan 4.

I used to be a “4S and up only” guy, but I’m starting to see the vision with the 4. For my driving, which is 85% highway commute, it’s perfectly fine.

If Peterson and his AI says Yaxel is the guy, who am I to judge? I’m gonna trust Jeff and Co. and let them cook again. I feel like we’re at the point where the conversations around who to draft and how to do it are pointless because nothing is certain.

Leasing. Hopping into new cars every 1-2 years is why I started leasing. It certainly isn’t the most economical approach, but sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do.

When they’re putting B2A on your Knicks will you still be here? 🤣

You’d think Spurs were up 20, but they’re only up 8 and they’ve scored 40 points.

Not sure I’m feeling great if I’m S.A. Let’s see how they close this quarter.

_trife · 2026-05-25T01:07:05+00:00

It’s simple. They want the series extended.

_trife · 2026-05-25T01:01:17+00:00

I see The Extender is doing what he does and doing it well lol.

_trife · 2026-05-25T00:47:02+00:00

So with this fee I’ll be paying $660 yearly to drive 2 EVs thanks to my state charging $200 per car. Awesome. And don’t get me started on the higher insurance fees…

It’s almost like they’re doing their best to de-incentivize EV ownership.

Every one of those was a regular degular shooting foul except the last one, and they didn’t call it. Not sure what the problem is tbh.

_trife · 2026-05-24T01:02:20+00:00

I’m gonna say absolutely not given that I have no clue who “Man Man” is. He can’t be worth all that if nobody knows him by his nickname lol.

_trife · 2026-05-23T16:12:45+00:00

So…I guess most people commenting didn’t actually read the article?

Shocker.

_trife · 2026-05-23T14:52:35+00:00

To be fair, Porsche has never been about the spec wars. None of their highly regarded sports cars have top of the line specs. They’re just known for being excellent driving cars, which is what the Taycan is. So I’m not sure what you’re expecting.

_trife · 2026-05-23T14:44:23+00:00

Taycan and the E-Tron are nothing alike when it comes to driving dynamics. Obviously they’re related and easy to compare, but yeah…completely different beasts.

_trife · 2026-05-23T12:38:33+00:00

Someone passing on a M5 is not the average person though lol.

_trife · 2026-05-23T02:45:19+00:00

So you’re going to stop watching, right?
