R1T: The Perfect Truck

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.

Ever since I got the R1T, it has been a perfect fit for me. Over the weekend, I needed the R1T to get to work and it didn't disappoint. My good friend was invited to participate at the Fusion Fest in Orlando this past Saturday and we loaded up her stuff in the R1T.

For the past couple of weeks, I've been making some display stands and to build them I've been using the truck's air compressor for the nail gun and the outlets for the sander (really glad I didnt get the bug where the air compressor stops working).
