I can't speak to the Pixel phones - I have not owned one. My Android phones for the last 8 or so years have been by OnePlus and I have been very happy with them. The advantage iPhone has is with integration and Android, by design, struggles with that since there are so many OEMs involved...

You are assuming logic flows from EM these days. Too many drugs for that unfortunately. Tesla dominated when they were the only serious game in town and it was a novel concept. EVs aren't novel anymore and as other OEMs got in the game and decided to not attempt to emulate the Tesla...

Siri is flat out terrible. I was an early iphone adopter but crashed out after the iPhone 3 because Android starting making better phones with...larger screens that Apple fought against forever. I remember walking into an Apple store with my Motorola Droid that had a 4.5 inch screen when the...

Elon is slowly distancing himself from Tesla because he sees the writing on the wall. He secured his massive pay day because he wants to lean in on other things like AI and SpaceX where he sees the next big money makers. The best thing Tesla had going for it was its charging network. The...

Don't blame GM, blame the anti-EV and anti-climate policies being put forward by this administration. GM is reacting to those policy changes. All of the massive investments that were made in the last 4 years were due to favorable policy and regulatory environments and substantial government...

I don't disagree with anything you said. Adding CP/AA for Tesla is likely extremely low lift. Redesigning their entire vehicles to not be all of the things you described is untenable. This decision from them was borne out of desperation and it is seen as low hanging fruit. Either way, nearly...

If the Tesla rumors are true, Rivian will have no choice but to offer CP/AA as it would be a significant competitive disadvantage not to do so. They DESPERATELY need R2 sales to do well in an increasingly difficult micro/macro economic climate. You have to incentivize consumers and having a...

Pay the man!

Given how gross some of those airplane bathrooms are, you may want to rethink the diaper. Meanwhile, you had me at peanut m&ms...

My advice: wait at least 1 production year for R2. See how people's experience is in the first Gen R2 before diving in and sacrificing the reliability of your Ford Mach-e. People don't put enough emphasis on reliability when they are making car decisions. With a first gen vehicle you are...

I purchased a Pinarello Dyodo Gravel some years back in response to rehabbing after surgery. I personally like the fact that you an adjust the assist down so that you are just getting a little help. My hardcore cycling days are behind me so it makes getting up those steep inclines that much...

That's the dealbreaker for me. I had to go digging for the weight asking Gemini because it was nowhere to be found in the tech specs on the website. A large frame (which a Sassquatch needs) in the solo configuration is 85 pounds. No bueno. That is more than double the weight (36 lbs) of my...

I come for the memes and the banter and I am rarely disappointed. Bravo!

I think Rivian has bigger fish to fry than worrying about carplay IMHO. Order of importance: 1A. Make sure you have a smooth rollout of R2 1B. FIX YOUR QUALITY CONTROL so you stop overwhelming SCs with vehicles that shouldn't have come off the line. 2. Start a subscription program whereby...

The only things I need to know are: How many frunk magnets does it have? Are the hooks behind the headrest woodgrain?? Meridian or Rivian sound system???

@OP - I sympathize as I have left many things behind over my life in lots of situations and I can't claim being an octogenarian as my excuse. Firstly, cut yourself some slack. You are still driving, and independant at 80 and that is noting to sneeze at. Secondly, while it is frustrating that...

If you are planning to keep your R1 for a long time, the 8y plan is a no-brainer. I paid more for 2 year plan on a BMW i4.

Those prices are extremely reasonable, almost no-brainer reasonable given how expensive repairs are likely to be out-of-warranty.

I am biased towards the BMW design language having owned BMW EVs now for a decade. This looks impressive. One advantage BMW has over Rivian is refinement. The IX3 will undoubtedly be less capable off-road but I wonder how much of the buying market is going to care. I think IX3 and R2...
