Dumb question on my part... So if there is no android auto or carPlay compatibility, how does one stream music in the vehicle? Spotify requires an internet connection... Does that mean that you get an integrated data plan/cell service with the purchase of the vehicle, or do you have to use your phone as a hotspot? I've been using Android auto with spotify and pandora for years and love the integration.

You can stream from your phone using Bluetooth.

Has anyone had any firsthand usage of the UI? Rivian stories is just fanboy dudes commenting on other videos, but no firsthand knowledge.

Actually Rivian Stories did do test drives and a factory tour about 2 weeks ago so their latest information is first hand knowledge.

I responded to your question in the other thread for my take on the UI and display.
