How many different RAN Stations have you visited?

I have previously used the streaming capability back when it first came out as well as the hotspot since before Connect+ was a thing. I am trying to get the streaming working again but it seems to have been hidden fully behind the paywall. (Not looking to argue the merits of that system here) I recall after Connect+ came out being able to still use the Hotspot while tethering with my phone, and losing it isn't a big deal other than needing to update my wife's wifi, but I think I remember needing to be on the Hotspot to do casting. My question is, did Rivian remove both of these features to fully behind the connect+ paywall? I thought that if you used phone tethering or if you were connected to WIFI you could use most all of the usual streaming like features of the Rivian? If anyone can recommend how to stream while using tethering I'm sure myself and others without Connect+ would appreciate it.

Before I purchased my R1S, I did a trip a couple of months ago and had the opportunity to visit 16 different RAN station. For all but 4 I was the only person there, which made me wonder how many people are visiting these stations.

Certainly it's an opportunity for Rivian to get more use once opened to other vehicles brands. I used RANs whenever they were available and all of them worked great, wish the were more available for me then. My other 31 charges on that trip were split between EA, Tesla, ChargePoint, and Englix.

Here is my list of the 16 locations

RAN - Las Vegas, NV
RAN - Granger, IN
RAN - Maumee, OH
