Not sure, but to give them a very detailed list of steps to take with screenshots.

Better than a slow boat to China. How many days will it take?

One might as well argue they have one in their phone. Making the presence, or the lack thereof, of a flashlight the determining factor on whether to buy a vehicle is a bit silly in the end. If only Monty Python was still doing skits.

What's the empiracal part?

Like riding in a space capsule compared to the R3 I suspect.. Way too crowded. Like new Subaru EVs.

To be fair, these facts have been known for some time.

It sure would be nice to have options for vendors of speakers we prefer. Even if the vendor has to make it specifically for our vehicles. And yes I have been in vehicles with garbage audio. How about a 1953 Studabaker Pickup, or a 1955 Packard? 1963 Ford Galaxy 500 (I drove to High School). '68...

Early Meridian hardware was pretty spectacular, but they were perpetrators of what many considered fraud with that questionable file format. So I prefer not to support them.

Please don't think we don't appreciate your efforts.

You can't assume the software-based cars are going to be like the old school cars we've dealt with from the beginning of time. Updates are expected. Rivian's still new in the car world and learning. I'm afraid though I do have a pretty decent audio system at home (Marantz M1 with Klipsch...

Sure, there are lots of things could go wrong, but this isn’t their first rodeo. Just fingers crossed the parts aren’t in a slow boat from Timbuktu.

Good to know. Too bad it can't be as elegant a solution as the R1s.

That's facing down, right? So the weight is being born by the cross-hatched part I would think. The divot is for registration and to keep it from slipping off, no? I'm no engineer, but I suspect the engineers at Rivian have good reasons. And it's not some puny bit of money they might get for...

Well most to this point are employee vehicles, right? And they're still working out the bugs in the system so that as production increases they don't multiply problems they can sort out beforehand. I believe they said something like 20,000+ by the end of 2026? So your mathing isn't wrong, but...

Okay, I stand corrected. The interview with the CEO I saw a while back I misunderstood what he was saying.

Yes, and that infotainment hardware is being upgraded to gen 3 around the end of the year, leaving the early 2026 R2s with half the processing power.

I thought RAP 1 was one chip on a motherboard that does it all? And that is Gen 3. Not just the RAP chip.

Those interviews state that the LIDAR will benefit the data gathering they will get from those vehicles being on the road. Still, that doesn't mean it won't serve other functions as well. Here is this piece from these forums. A person sat down with the engineers at Rivian after the self-driving...

Where do people get the notion that LIDAR is only for gathering data? Has there been a definitive statement from Rivian on the subject? Sounds more like crowd-sourced rumors to me than hard facts. Journalism 101 - Your mother says she loves you? Check it.
