EE Caravan, Electrify Expo, and R2

There’s this new device I heard avout called EV Play. From what I read, it promises to bring Apple CarPlay and some oretty interesting apps right to Rivian’s screen. I couldn’t find much chatter about it yet, but I read it’s a plug-and-play setup coming out this month. No clue on the price, but the thought of having my phone’s familiar layout front and center while I’m driving sounds like a dream. I’ve got my hands full with work and family, so anything that simplifies my day is a win in my book. That said, I’m not jumping in without thinking it through—years of juggling life have taught me to pause and ponder. Could there be any hiccups with adding this to my R1S? I wonder if it might mess with something down the road. And here’s a thought: could Rivian send out one of those over-the-air updates and block it after I’ve already bought it? I’d hate to invest in something only to have it fizzle out. I’d love to hear what other owners think—especially the seasoned ones like me. Is this a smart upgrade, or should I hold off?

Matt, Rivian Orlando and Tampa’s Delivery Manager reached out to me about getting a quick meetup 10 minutes down the road from the Electrify Expo at the Orange County Convention Center. 13 people RSVP’d. 28 showed up! It was great!

Mike, Ryan, and Stephanie entered their R1s in the Owner’s Showcase. They killed it. Mike won the BEST OUTDOOR RECREATION Category. Great job representing the Florida Rivian Club, Guys!!
