Wow they really crushed it. I was bracing for losing a lot of cool features, and all we lost was fold flat front row seats, which we knew about.
Seems like they are positioning the launch spec to compete with the Model Y performance, despite a tri motor planned. At anything under $60k they'll...
I don't know where this "10kwh" came from, I've heard the figure stated before, but on the R1T configurator that $7000 gets you 90 miles of EPA range (~60 real life) Maybe it was 10kwh while they phased out a larger large pack, but thats not 10 kWh today.
Additionally, I was indeed comparing...
Have the trim levels posted earlier in this thread been debunked officially?
Total lolz at the idea they'd charge $14k for 20 kWh ($700/kWh!!). They currently charge $7k for 90 miles of range (~30kwh) for R1, makes sense, coming in at ~$230/kwh
Call me crazy but I don't think you should...
Echoing what some others have said, I find Kara's speeping vitriol towards the "right" insufferable. I don't need to start my own podcast, I can just not listen to hers, and instead criticize it on the internet 😂. This is unfortunate as I usually like listening to RJ who has had the sense to...
If the world is going autonomous it still needs 3 row SUVs...
I don't have a doom-and-gloom view of Tesla, however I think this move is revealing and quite embarrassing. Despite its size and market cap, Tesla is unable to execute on multiple products simultaneously. Even mid-size car brands...
As we all know VW never had any catastrophic software related delays until Rivian came along.
And everyone knows that Rivian's imminent release of R2 "on time" in Q2 2026 is just beginners luck...
Threads like this are so bizarre. My Gen1 T feels every bit as up to date as my Gen2 S, so long as I don't turn on Autonomy.
Gotta wonder if some folks even remember what these trucks were like in 2022. If I get into my 2019 Model X it's like going back to... 2019.
Brace yourselves for 800v...
FWIW Doug Demuro said a few weeks ago he would be driving an R2 in "a couple months".
I think its quite likely the PR for this car will ramp up quickly and this timeline seems pretty reasonable.
I'm very grateful to the overuse of AI by desperate startups, it makes it very easy to separate out the garbage.
That said I do fully expect ADAS/FSD use to dramatically reduce insurance rates once it is widespread. For now there is no AI solution for a moron in a 2005 F150 smashing into my truck.
Moderators: Realize this should probably have been posted in "Updates, App, Rivian Assistant, Nav, Electronics, Cameras, Phone Key, Digital Key ".
Can you move it?
As the thread title suggests, I've been driving Rivians for a while now, and while many updates have been great, 2025.46 represents the greatest value add I have experienced in my 4 years of driving Rivians. It's not perfect (as I'll touch on) but considering the other things Rivian has on its...
Piling on here: $50/mo for a leased vehicle and $2500 for owned is a no brainer for Universal Hands Free.
Comparisons to FSD are pointless. Tesla wildly overpriced it and made a critical mistake bundling "Enhanced" auto-pilot with FSD (to try to force the upgrade). Most people just want hands...
Why does everyone seem to assume that the R2 will ship without the lidar or an easy retrofit option? They aren't going to manufacture two different roofs - and we can already see the lidar port in the body-in-white. I would expect R2 ships with Lidar and all Gen 3 sensors and compute as...
