Announcing our new "CLUBS" section where you can join or create a Rivian club or group! You can use this new feature to conveniently plan and discuss local events, gatherings or other club/group related topics.
So we encourage you to join (or start) special-interest and regional-based Rivian clubs at: https://www.rivianforums.com/forum/group-categories/clubs-groups.1/
I think the infotainment and lack of physical controls has the potential to kill Rivian unless something changes. There are a lot of people that don't like change, and if you want to succeed long-term, you can't just go after the tech-savvy people as that's really limiting your market. There are a lot of us that just want a no-nonsense vehicle that simply works without all the gadgetry.

I think truth is somewhere between where the two of you stand. Gadgetry is not bad by default and it is not good by default but it is bad when it has negative impact on the total experience. The problem is, that is usually the case before tech is matured. A lot of problems a new R1T have that my 20 year old truck does not have is not necessarily because the tech is bad, it is because it is badly implemented. Anyone buying in the first few years of anything, is asking for it. It comes with the territory.People complained about that phone without a keyboard too.
Change is hard, but you'll come around. Or maybe you still use a blackberry?
