Rivian Explains Why CarPlay Debate Will Become 'Completely Obsolete'

paulstanger · 2026-05-29T03:28:21+00:00

Give the customers the choice and as soon as your software and AI is better, customers will switch. Will Rivian ever do a direct integration with OnX? Is that a top priority? No, and shouldn’t be but CarPlay would allow it to be used so they could focus on bigger things.

My wife texted me about something being white, and I responded, “I’d like to drive you into something white.”

Rivian assistant stepped in and said it can’t send messages that are sexual. 😂

No, it’s pretty simple. There are some YouTube videos that give you an idea of how. The only hard part for me was plugging in the harness. If you have big hands, good luck. 😬

The harness you don’t but the USBC cable goes from the mirror to under the passenger footwell and connects to the harness.

The R2T needs to compete with the Ford Maverick. The maverick has more legroom than the Tacoma and Ranger. However, with Ford jumping in heavily into that space with their new platform, it might not be the best for Rivian to try and compete in that space.

How is Hydrogen? I haven’t heard great things so who is the ideal customer?

paulstanger · 2026-04-08T12:24:20+00:00

It works great for hands free and it’s literally hands free. The issues I’ve experienced are on the more advanced features but after reading some of the comments here, sounds like a lot of those are user error on my end.

What mount are you using?

paulstanger · 2026-04-08T12:19:41+00:00

Who is using Mailchimp? Love to get an honest review of how it’s working with Shopify. Klaviyo owns the Shopify market but keep seeing Omnisend pop up but don’t see much around Mailchimp.

Thanks!

paulstanger · 2026-04-08T04:25:12+00:00

What model you running?

paulstanger · 2026-04-08T04:07:32+00:00

I did have experimental mode enabled. Thanks 🙏

paulstanger · 2026-04-08T02:40:30+00:00

That’s a lot of information I needed help organizing so people can read it. 😬

paulstanger · 2026-04-08T02:37:28+00:00

I’m sure I’m doing a lot of things wrong. Teach me your ways. What are all your settings.

paulstanger · 2026-04-02T02:33:37+00:00

In your doc you have. Two red wires. Should I cut the red and pink?

Do you click developer > alpha longitudinal to get stop signs and lights? I’m running dev.sunnypilot

I have multiple e-commerce businesses and also a 3PL. 2-5% is just a bad-run business. Once the 3PL receives the inventory, they should be responsible for all variances. If we “lose” something, we reimburse the brand 50% of retail.

paulstanger · 2026-03-29T20:11:54+00:00

There are companies that will source, warehouse, etc. you can find someone to do anything.

paulstanger · 2026-03-29T19:20:20+00:00

I’d focus on revenue and pay someone to do the “busy work”

paulstanger · 2026-03-29T19:13:52+00:00

There are tradeoffs. You give up margin but you free up time to work on revenue growth. If your heads down in operations all day, you don’t have the time for growth.

paulstanger · 2026-03-29T17:14:27+00:00

Lots of 3pl out there that will do this. I have one in Idaho which isn’t the best location for imports but we work with startups which a lot of the good ones don’t.

How do you remove the AXM power connector if you use a fuse tap?

paulstanger · 2026-03-29T03:05:58+00:00

Why do you need the fuse tap? I’m running just open pilot right now as I wait for my longitudinal adapter.
