  1. Rivian Communication RAP1+Lidar

    The order page may not have said so but the Tesla blog post (which they’ve since deleted) did. The website also said “The system is designed to be able to conduct short and long-distance trips with no action required by the person in the driver’s seat.” That line is specifically called out by...
  2. Rivian Communication RAP1+Lidar

    In Kim Java’s R2 video she released today (23:36), she interviewed RJ and he said next gen hardware would “come to the launch R2 by the end of the year”
  3. Finished R2 demo test drive? Share your review / impressions

    Coming in August but those won't be launch editions anymore? I wonder how many launch editions they plan on selling then?
  4. Question about using cruise control while towing

    Was just going to say Kyle showed this in Out of Spec Bits video
  5. Anyone wrapping their R2?

    I know wraps aren't quite as popular on Rivian as on Tesla, especially Cybertruck (probably because Rivian has some cool colors), but is anyone planning to wrap their R2? I'm probably 6 months from buying mine, but I almost have a wrap design done already. Way different from the style I used on...
  6. Coastal Cloud Interior + Additional Exterior Colors Available Aug 2026

    Coastal Cloud being two months away makes it harder to wait for updated autonomy hardware next year
  7. June 9 - R2 order invites, first customer deliveries and demo drives begin!

    I’m in a way glad wife and I both prefer coastal cloud interior because I don’t think I could hold off ordering until new autonomy hardware if CC was available at launch.
  8. June 9 - R2 order invites, first customer deliveries and demo drives begin!

    Can’t wait for Duncan SC to have them for demo drives
  9. R2 non-powered frunk is a mistake?

    When I got my Model 3, I almost never used the frunk. Then I installed a power frunk kit and used the frunk every time I got takeout or went to the store for the next 3 years. Power frunk makes all the difference in how useful it is. Wish R2 (and Model 3/Y) at least offered as a paid upgrade.
  10. AT&T brings 5G connectivity to Rivian R2

    Actually, even without the starlink plan, on newer phones you can still get emergency texts out on other higher satellites, though you have to wait for one to be overhead. It was the only way I was able to text when Hurricane Helene hit here, but my son was the only person I knew who had just...
  11. Mark Rober teases R2 modification

    both are true.... as someone who tried to be an honest Tesla fan engaged with the community on X for years, it got really old seeing both sides jsut say a bunch of stuff that wasn't true to make their voice heard. Part of why I quit using X was the Tesla/Elon fanboys are just too much. But man...
  12. AT&T brings 5G connectivity to Rivian R2

    I also stopped when they started charging for it. The video call was an internal test from SpaceX IIRC, not someone using T-mobile's public service. EDIT: Here's the video call article
  13. AT&T brings 5G connectivity to Rivian R2

    Considering they've had direct to phone Starlink for a while, and they showed it being good enough for video calls early on, it could happen already. But needing a clear view of the sky isn't ideal where I live. Of course, cell service can suck in some places thanks to mountains too.

    Thanks, I needed a laugh...
  15. Questions for people who have switched from Tesla to Rivian [ADMIN WARNING: NO POLITICS / NO ELON DISCUSSIONS]

    We got a 10,000 mile per year lease last summer on the Y because we usually take my Cybertruck if we go anywhere together. Our payments are $385/mo! Same build we got is now $614.
  16. Questions for people who have switched from Tesla to Rivian [ADMIN WARNING: NO POLITICS / NO ELON DISCUSSIONS]

    I’m so torn still. FSD is the ONLY thing holding me back. I could handle driving manually where I live. I have to anyway since FSD is almost never going the correct speed here. But when I go out of town especially long distance, FSD is a dream. I don’t have to know which lane to be in or where...

    You should ignore the pic in that thumbnail and watch that video. He makes that point fairly well with lots of sample videos.
  18. Mark Rober teases R2 modification

    I like pre-2020 Elon still. I like everything he started. I just don’t like him at all anymore.
  19. Mark Rober teases R2 modification

    That image is the one most Elon haters love to post so it gets their attention to watch it. It’s actually not just about Elon but shows how he has changed over time.
  20. Mark Rober teases R2 modification

    All the issues I have with Elon are not "because he's a republican" .. "with different views". I like and even love plenty of people I disagree with politically. The things I can't stand about Elon also don't make me hate Tesla as a brand or hate my Cybertruck, but I also understand completely...
