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, a friend of mine received his fancy Pittman Airbedz expensive air mattress which cost a whooping $330. At first glance, it looks nice but it is that much more comfortable and really 25% more coverage he will be to tell after his planned beach camping trip this coming weekend. Here is a few photos he shared with me.

He had to order the wheel inserts as well since his wheel wells are much smaller. The width difference between both is about 5". Its basically $330 vs $21

As for me, I've been super happy with my Exped Megamat which fits great and super comfortable. I've had so many great nights of sleep on it, and only after 2 years of almost monthly use has it started to leak a tiny bit of air. Mine is the duo 10 but they make a 15 now which I'll probably pick up next time it goes on sale.
