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.

Rivian has been hosting auto shows around the country since the announcement of the R2 and R3X. I recently learnt about the Chicago Auto Show that'll be taking place next month from February 8 - 17.

I've been to a couple of Rivian auto shows and I think I'd make plans to attend this one that'd be hosted in Chicago. I wanted to share the specific dates for anyone who's based in Chicago so they can mark it on their calenders and make preparations for the snow.

The show for R2 would begin on the 8th of February and end on the 12th of February. While the show for the R3X would take place from the 13th of February to the 17th of February.
