You are generally right about software, but pre-release software is something different or even MVP. Getting stuff working and making it easy to debug both without a huge focus on performance can make a huge difference as the code matures.
That honeymoon most likely would end down the road where they start designing for new GPU's/CPU's...
Long way of saying in the short term I am optimistic, but long term, yeah, likely to get dated/laggy like an old computer or iPhone. We'll see!

Great review. Thanks. I tend to agree with pretty much everything.
Most people mention the screen response time is fine, but as a Tesla owner I think everything I've seen shows the Rivian screen looking laggy. So, if I compare to my Subaru, it's great. But Tesla really raised the bar with having a zippy display, at least in newer vehicles. I appreciate Rivian will be adding more software features OTA, however adding more software doesn't usually make existing software run faster. I'm hoping they work on optimizing existing code as well, and get the screen response to Tesla-level without requiring a hardware upgrade. I think they'll do just fine, but putting almost all controls into a display means that display really needs to rock. Sounds like they are aware of it and are working on it so I remain optimistic.
