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.

I just installed the new silicone hook covers on my Rivian R1S. The installation took less than 1 minute. Made from high-quality silicone, they come in "Rivian Yellow" to match the other accents or classic black for a stealthy vibe.

If you plan to use your hooks for a recovery or anything else, just slip off the covers before attaching anything. Overall, these silicone hook covers are a quick and easy way to upgrade the look of your Rivian. Highly recommend!

Installation

Installation is super easy. Just clean off your factory hooks (if you want), and then slide on the new hook covers. Just push them onto each hook and wiggle them into place for a perfect fit. They do have a specific orientation, so make sure to check that out or watch the quick 5-second installation video for guidance.
