Bromptons Bike Doesn't Fit in the R1S Frunk

Rivian Connect+ Requirement: Change in Policy or Glitch?

Rivian Mom · 2025-05-15T14:45:12+00:00

I've been using my phone's hotspot for months, and my Rivian connects to it automatically to run TuneIn and Spotify through the built-in apps on the main display. To be clear, this wasn’t Bluetooth streaming but actual phone data, and the apps worked perfectly without any issues. In Monday for the first time, I saw a Connect+ message pop up, even though the truck was linked to my phone’s data. I can still stream from my phone using Bluetooth, but the sound quality and user experience weren’t as good. This issue started between over-the-air software updates, though it might be tied to a specific date in the system. I tried a soft reset, but nothing changed. Has anyone heard if Rivian changed their policy on this? I remember Connect+ used to mention it provided "data" for streaming apps, suggesting you could use your own data instead. Now, it seems like you need Connect+ just to access the apps at all. I was surprised they allowed phone hotspots to work before, so this might be a deliberate change. I’m okay with paying for Connect+ if this isn’t just a temporary glitch. Any insights would be appreciated.

I was planning on purchasing a Brompton and wanted to know whether a folded Brompton could fit in the frunk or the spare tire storage compartment of an R1S.

I'm considering getting a Brompton or other folding bike to leave in my R1S most of the time, just grabbing it when I commute. Ideally my plan was to store it in a hidden part of the vehicle like the frunk.

Unfortunately, someone who owns a couple of Brompton bikes said it does not fit in the frunk. But I should have a look at the Dynamic scooter as that's is an option that will fit in frunk.
