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.

Officially known as the Compass Yellow, the yellow color trim Rivian R1S is one of the rarest to find in the market, given the fact that it's the most expensive color trim to go for. It attracts lots of stares, and very much so because it's a color that catches the eyes. I own the yellow compass R1S, and I've only seen it twice with two different owners. When I've had the chance to chat with a couple of R1S owners, most of them are of the opinion that they love the color but couldn't go for it for the extra cost given it's just a color and there's no significant difference between the yellow compass R1S and theirs apart from the color of the outer body, and they can always get a repainting job anytime and to any color of their choice as well.
