Some users are concerned about the potential consequences of disabling internet connectivity. As one user notes:
…what happens if you disable the e-SIM (in the US) and then a safety recall appears via software update – do dealers have any way to update control modules besides OTA?
Others are more optimistic, praising Rivian for giving users control over their data:
Reminds me of Zed’s setting { “disable_ai”: true } [1] Glad it’s an option be it for regulatory compliance, security, privacy, or any combination of the three.
Another user highlights the importance of user privacy:
We all know selling your information to 3rd parties is a virtual goldmine. Either Rivian is doing much better than expected in the luxury space or they’re unaware of the value of this data.
