GaiaGPS over OnX for me. But hey, this is yet another problem with the truck that would've been solved by CarPlay since it would already be supported.
…. Someone’s a pilot
The first time they ran in the rally is why we have Sand Mode. Team struggled the final day in the deep sand and kept getting stuck. Sand Mode was developed/released a while after. It's genuinely why I like them continuing to do these kinds of things - and racing up Pikes Peak - with almost entirely stock vehicles. Because unlike so many other automakers who tout their racing heritage as trickling down to their vehicles (and it does... VERY slowly), Rivian can literally release the update in a few months of development and testing and their entire fleet benefits from lessons learned. It's kind of amazing honestly. Sure, hardware gains aren't so easy, but new drive modes, suspension tuning, cooling system management, battery/inverter/motor management, new camera views.. a LOT of things can take the R&D efforts utilized to push the vehicles to their limits at Rebelle Rally, or Pikes Peak, or whatever else and then immediately improve the experience for the average user. The turnaround time for that is something that shouldn't be taken for granted.
It can also give customers confidence in their vehicles. We might never rally our vehicles, but there is something reassuring when you see them successful at that.
