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.

One of our club member who just got his Rivian R1T, started experiencing some teething issues. With less than 1,000 miles on the clock, he noticed that a window trim piece was separating and lifting. The front passenger door was even starting to clip the trim when opening and closing.

To temporarily fix the issue, he decided to use some Gorilla Glue and a clamp to hold the trim in place until the mobile service team can arrive. He was a bit disappointed that it has taken over a month to schedule the service. Rivian's mobile service was actually one of the main reasons he bought the truck, and he's hoping they can get that aspect sorted out soon.

Despite this minor hiccup, he still loves his R1T and the experience of driving an electric vehicle. It's perfect for his daily needs, and he's enjoying the smooth, quiet ride. Fingers crossed that Rivian's mobile service team can get the trim issue fixed quickly and efficiently.
