Rivian RAN Charging Network ranks tops in reliability, equaling Tesla Supercharges

Streaming and other functions without Rivian Connect+

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 RAN ranked amongst the most problem-free EV charging networks in the U.S. and also the ones built by Tesla too, according to a new survey from Consumer Reports.

The publication surveyed 1,230 owners on their EV charging experiences between March 2024 and February 2024, and just 4% of the respondents said they experienced problems at Tesla’s Supercharger network. Only 5% said they experienced problems using Rivian’s Adventure Network chargers.

RJ reacted on X by saying,

"Love this. We developed our high charging hardware with a central focus on reliability and uptime. Excited to see it expand!"

I'm not surprised with the survey results as I know Rivian has put in so much effort into making their RAN network more efficient and reliable for Rivian owners. I'm excited to see what the future holds for Rivian and I hope to be there for the long ride.
