  1. R2 Executive Interviews - Software, Future, Design: RJ Scaringe, Wassym Bensaid, Jeff Hammoud (by Out of Spec Kyle)

    You still have the trip meters for setting your way points and such, why do you need the cumulative odometer in direct view? Honest curiosity, I admit I can't understand your viewpoint on this. I'm a mountain biker and this vehicle's primary adventure mode for me is getting out all kinds of...
  2. New to forums and Rivian - want to discuss my pre-purchase concerns

    On the contrary, I think he knows Rivian is the one for him, and he just needs to get over himself and pull the trigger. 2 final thoughts for me and then I'm un-watching this thread: -Is it possible that OP is just some AI CHAT BOT that has been sent to drive circular arguments? - If he/she/it...
  3. R2 Executive Interviews - Software, Future, Design: RJ Scaringe, Wassym Bensaid, Jeff Hammoud (by Out of Spec Kyle)

    Great job Kyle, I thought you did a fine job interviewing and maintaining respectful relationship with these key players. Specifically glad you chose to ask viewer-centric questions and didn't suck up too much. Keep it up!
  4. R2 Executive Interviews - Software, Future, Design: RJ Scaringe, Wassym Bensaid, Jeff Hammoud (by Out of Spec Kyle)

    Its possible that few people care about the odo as it serves little purpose other than overall reference. They put the odo front and centre on the app, which serves every purpose I can think of. This isn't your grandfather's car, as evidenced by every other design decision they've made. Cheers
  5. R2 buyers - will you wait for gen 3 hardware (including LiDAR)?

    This is a very interesting point that I don't think has been emphasized. The Lidar benefits the building of the model for the full fleet The Gen 3 hardware, then, should be the main focus of the coming update, and what people are waiting for, if they choose. Will Gen 2 hardware eventually...
  6. New to forums and Rivian - want to discuss my pre-purchase concerns

    Just buy an R1T and chill my man. You'll love it and those thoughts of pushing back against the scary march of enshitification will melt from your mind as you blast through the landscape. Sheer driving pleasure, think of it!
  7. R2 Colors List Revealed! Launch Green, Borealis, Midnight, Forest Green, Esker Silver, Catalina Cove, Glacier White, Half Moon Grey 🎨

    You're probably right on Dune, on second thought. Unless they killed yellow before Duals started shipping... I believe there should be some dual units out there.

    Think you could get a dual compass yellow back when. Probably Dune as well.
  9. Gen 1 R1T Won't Wake, Won't Unlock, Won't Release EVSE Plug: What's Your Guess?

    I had a 1992 Subaru Loyale, paid $1700 (CAD). Drove it across the continent a few times and through terrain it had no business getting into. It seemed unstoppable and reached a bit of mythic status after MANY year of problem-free operation for me. Then it met a moose. But not for that moose, i...

  11. Class Action Notice - Officially NOT submitting a claim!

    Just got this notice in the mail. I continue to be baffled that this type of litigation occurs and gets settled regularly. It seems egregious, but maybe I'm just cynical. Anyways, I'm officially not participating out of principle, though the act is meaningless in the grand scheme. Be well!
  12. Demo Drive : Tri R1S, Quad R1T, Dual R1T : Very different ride/handling, trying to understand

    Okay sure, your opinion stands, highly contested. Small point, if I may... The location of your apostrophe is important. The reason for it in a date setting is to shorten the full date to the significant year, in this case 2025 becomes '25. All the best!
  13. Demo Drive : Tri R1S, Quad R1T, Dual R1T : Very different ride/handling, trying to understand

    Oh... You had a '25 Rover, as in 2025, not 25' as in 25 - foot, as you indicated. Also, implying your comment about Rivian air suspension being for show was dumb.
  14. Demo Drive : Tri R1S, Quad R1T, Dual R1T : Very different ride/handling, trying to understand

    I drive a dual R1T, but I have had many a drive in quad motor variants (mostly Gen 1, but also Gen 2). The ride quality is and should be Imperceptible between the trucks. Tires make a difference, but other than acceleration and off road performance, they ride the same. Drive modes and front...
  15. Today's TIREsome adventure

    I decided Skipping Costco may have been a great idea in the end, I only wish I had Discount Tire to lean on... My current situation is that I bought a new set of 21" Bridgestone Alenza Prestige, after my Pirellis wore out. Because I run a winter set of wheels (20" Steelies from EV Sportline...
  16. 2026 Rivian R2 Specs & Reviews!! 300+ Mile Range, 10-80% Charge in 30 Min, 656 hp / 609 lb-ft, 0-60 mph in 3.6s, dimensions

    This is a fantastic addition to the conversation. Great to see Rivian is providing redundancy and some needed factual backup to their reasoning behind the electronic - primary actuation. Still, I do like my 4x mechanical handles... But I'll feel better about any future R2 fantasies. Also...

    As far as insurance goes, a spare is the best value you can get. All you need is one time is a bad spot to realize the cost insignificance of holding your salvation.
