The Unique R1T Gear Tunnel

EV Play for Rivian: A Game-Changer for Apple Carplay Enthusiasts?

There’s this new device I heard avout called EV Play. From what I read, it promises to bring Apple CarPlay and some oretty interesting apps right to Rivian’s screen. I couldn’t find much chatter about it yet, but I read it’s a plug-and-play setup coming out this month. No clue on the price, but the thought of having my phone’s familiar layout front and center while I’m driving sounds like a dream. I’ve got my hands full with work and family, so anything that simplifies my day is a win in my book. That said, I’m not jumping in without thinking it through—years of juggling life have taught me to pause and ponder. Could there be any hiccups with adding this to my R1S? I wonder if it might mess with something down the road. And here’s a thought: could Rivian send out one of those over-the-air updates and block it after I’ve already bought it? I’d hate to invest in something only to have it fizzle out. I’d love to hear what other owners think—especially the seasoned ones like me. Is this a smart upgrade, or should I hold off?

The R1T has a storage compartment known as the gear tunnel. It's a tunnel that runs through the entire width of the R1T. It's an extra storage space where you can store tools or other equipment such as golf clubs, skateboards, travel kitchen, and even small bags as well, giving you extra room at the back and at the frunk. It's a feature only unique to the R1T, one that I personally really love, and I'm sure other owners love it as well. In case you're wondering where it's located, you can find the gear tunnel just in-between the rear door and the rear tire. It has doors on both sides, doors strong enough to be used as seats or even have stuff placed on top of them as well.
