I'd like to play google stadia while I wait an hour to fuel up. The burn of 400V architecture could easily be remedied by allowing me to destroy n00bs in PUBG while I wait.

It had made my polestar even more weird and cute and Iām becoming quite enamored.Tesla has one. I don't see why they wouldn't include that in a Rivian. I know they want a closed ecosystem so that they can maximize recurring service fees, but if they're not going to support Apple Music, or Netflix, etc for awhile, that would be a nice compromise, IMO.
This is funny, I was thinking Tesla has one, not sure why Rivian would waste time adding one. Other than pulling it up when I first got the Tesla and was checking things out. I have never found a need to open the browser, I always use my phone or iPad instead.Tesla has one. I don't see why they wouldn't include that in a Rivian.

Itās a super easy way to add compatibility for a lot of web apps without having to build native versions. Just allow full screen mode and boom, Netflix. I use it on my polestar for weather when Iām sitting at stoplights too.This is funny, I was thinking Tesla has one, not sure why Rivian would waste time adding one.

Tesla has one that is so bad I use my phone or my iPad instead of using it. I do occasionally use the Netflix app sitting at a charger though.Tesla has one.

I suspect - NO.
I guess I could explore the rest stop bathroom that requires a key and has a strange black stain over the lower quarter of the door...I agree here. Rivian has made it clear they want to aim for the Adventurous lifestyle. I doubt they'll put in a browser and an indirect way of saying "get off your lazy ass and do something while the car charges, ya schmuck!" (<-- my addition )
It is most definitely not super easy unless you're fundamentally unserious about something, or multiple somethings.Itās a super easy way to add compatibility for a lot of web apps without having to build native versions.

Yay someone else that thinks like me.It is most definitely not super easy unless you're fundamentally unserious about something, or multiple somethings.
Among other things, a browser is a significant potential threat vector on any device. It's also an extraordinarily complex bit of software with heavy servicing requirements, input complexity, major compatibility headaches, various media stack dependencies, etc.
It's certainly not impossible (obviously some other vehicles do it and various embedded devices/etc.) but it's certainly not "easy."
If I were calling the shots at Rivian it would be well below my cut line, behind much more meaningful improvements to things like nav, gear guard, the mobile apps, dog mode, etc.
