Thanks for the honesty. You’re still an early adopter, they’ve only been manufacturing the R1S for just over 2 years now. Think 2014 Model S. Still a long ways from maturity.

Still not really an excuse for a “software defined vehicle” in model year 2025. And Rivian was founded in 2009, a year after the release of the Tesla Roadster.

What plans do you have for: 1. Green light chime 2. PIN to drive 3. Auto cancel turn signal on lane change completion 4. Cabin overheat protection 5. Climate keep mode; distinct from pet comfort mode So many these little daily usability functions Tesla has already implemented has me convinced...

Yes, loaded data from labs at the University of Michigan and the University of Central Florida, the latter of which was published in Nature. Where is the unbiased published data countering these findings? Objectivity has left the chat.

Ok. Guess we are talking about two different timelines then. You are talking about now. I am talking about not too distant future state. Aaand… now the clear anti-Elon bias comes out definitively, whom I never mentioned. Argument is over. Thanks for making your biases apparent.

Ok. Here’s some data comparing AV versus humans. None of it is perfect, all have holes in them, and it’ll be a while to see a study on all roads under all conditions, but from an injury and fatality standpoint (which is how I think most would define as dangerous), prelim data seem to point in...

Analogy ≠ straw man. Elevator illustration is a historical analogy. Other in quotes post were also about public sentiment and acceptance of deaths, not straw man arguments. Comparing self driving cars to human drivers is actually the comparison we really want, no? Btw, just an observation...

One thing for Rivian to say they are resource constrained and won’t be pursuing higher level ADAS. Fine. Another thing to fight against the eventuality that AI driven vehicles will improve road safety as a whole. Wild to just be okay with “having all vehicles be driven 80+mph by drunk and/or...

Okay. https://waymo.com/blog/2024/09/safety-data-hub/

The themes get social media and YouTube views and get kids excited, so I think they see it as a good way to advertise. Useful but boring software enhancements - less so

What manual elevator operators used to say.

Yes, my understanding is the windshields are the same for T & S

Most sober and comprehensive analysis yet. Re: VW struggles- RJ also dodged one caller’s question about how VW’s drama will affect Rivian. Lots of pain ahead regardless of outcome

Seems we got hung up on this very memorable image of Rivian blue emesis. Journalist 1, rest of us 0. Whether this person is being truthful or to blame is kind of beside the point and probably a matter for attorneys and the arbitrator/judge to sort out. Bigger point here is that Rivian is...

If I were to guess, attorneys representing her are already in possession of this evidence…

Maybe. In the safety work I do in medicine, rarely is patient or staff harm attributable to a single individual or one factor alone. A toxic/unsafe work culture is one where blame is routinely directed at one person, and even worse if it’s on the one who experienced physical harm, rather than...

I don’t know if you ever took human anatomy or physiology. Maybe you did, in which case you may recall the initial points of entry for both the respiratory and GI tracts are actually shared until they bifurcate right around the level of the oropharynx. I was not there and I haven’t seen this...

Rivian’s statement was also in the original Bloomberg piece: Rivian says that as part of settlements with the agency, almost all of the violations OSHA initially labeled as serious were ultimately downgraded from that category or dismissed. “Initial citations should not be confused as final...

For the TLDR’s, here is the money shot:
