Something that would have had people jumping for joy 2 days ago, now gets a big WOMP WOMPAmbosrivians on instagram just made a post showing the new surround view camera view when in reverse.
A very welcome improvement.

I'd have paid an extra 1k for it, if it had to be a paid option 
Not joking. It's worth that price, imo.

Jesus, why couldn't Rivian have just said "yes, we will add birds-eye view in an OTA update in 2022" when asked? Instead they refused to commit to anything and said they had no plans to add it.
Is this another example of absolute abysmal communication? Or are they so oblivious that now they're throwing shit at the walls realizing that "oh crap, people meant it when they said feature X mattered to them".

That’s worth the extra $20,000 right there! /s

Also, where are all the peeps who insisted the cameras were physically not in positions that could support this feature?

Wow, that's about half as good as the surround-view cams on my $29K Chevy Bolt from 2017...
Bravo Rivian!! Way to go!!

As a software leader, I suspect this is more around not wanting to over-promise and under-deliver in areas where they had solution ambiguity. It's actually not very common to be aggressive with discussing software roadmaps externally at tech companies because it massively reduces your flexibility in terms of problem spaces you attempt to solve and it is an easy way to over extend your engineering teams and embarrass your company publicly (see also, "FSD Is going to be feature complete by end of year! for like 7 consecutive years"). That said, with the OTHER comms problems Rivian clearly has I understand the pile-on frustration.

Legit question. In the S1, Rivian stated they anticipated an additional $10k (or it could have been $12k, i can't remember) in revenue, post-purchase from each driver. That suggests they are planning on potentially charging a ton for each "additional" software-enabled option after the free membership expires. I am worried about this, especially after the $25k increase in price. Their comms has to do better or they are going to get whiplash on the market until they can hit sustainable production volumes and revenue. I haven't gotten any clear answer on what is included in membership and honestly I don't think the CS agents have been told either.
