Electric vehicle manufacturer Rivian is sparking controversy among its loyal customer base with the announcement that its upcoming R2 and 4x4 models will no longer feature AM/FM radio tuners. The decision marks a significant departure from traditional automotive norms, where radio connectivity has long been a standard feature. However, in a world where streaming services and digital entertainment dominate, Rivian is betting that its customers will be more interested in seamless connectivity to their smartphones and other devices. But for some fans, the loss of AM/FM radio tuners is a deal-breaker, and they're taking to social media to express their disappointment and frustration.
