R1T Underbody Bolts: Why weekly checks are crucial for safety

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.

On Monday, I went under the truck to check for any missing or loose bolts. Thankfully everything looked good in that regard, but a panel towards the front of the truck is not flush with the rest of the underbody panels.

It sort of bows out a bit toward the ground at the back of the panel. Don't know if that's how it's supposed to look, and I'll definitely appreciate any feedback I can get with regards to that. I wrote an article once about some loose and missing bolts under my truck.

Ever since, it's been a top priority to mine to always check under my truck, making sure all the bolts are firmly in place and there's none missing. I think every owner should make that a weekly routine as well. Could help one to avoid some unwanted issues on the road.
