  1. R2 Charging & Range: A Data-Driven Look

    Nicely done. This must have taken a bit of time 😂
  2. Interior roof cover for R2?

    I should have been part of that suit, haha. My Genesis G70 sunroof exploded for no known reason while driving down the interstate at 70 mph on a beautiful 60 degree day. Scared the sh!t out of me! It sounded like a shotgun blast over my head. Luckily my insurance company covered it, since...
  3. Interior roof cover for R2?

    Follow-up: our son works at Rivian and claims that they looked at it and the glass was actually cheaper. Shrug.
  4. Four years, four R1Ts. An adventure and a bitter-sweet cautionary tale.

    Unfortunately, with seemingly everyone (but me) wanting ADAS and self driving, along with everything else, car companies are having to become big tech companies.
  5. Four years, four R1Ts. An adventure and a bitter-sweet cautionary tale.

    I agree. This type of user feedback and information should be invaluable to a company that is at all concerned about their quality and reputation. I was a EE who worked as a designer at an aerospace company for 20 years, and it frustrated me to no end when we actually got feedback from the field...
  6. Four years, four R1Ts. An adventure and a bitter-sweet cautionary tale.

    That's great to hear. It's the kind of thing companies need to do more of.
  7. Four years, four R1Ts. An adventure and a bitter-sweet cautionary tale.

    Thanks. Monroe 😕 I hear you about the supply chain issues a while back. They really messed up the car market.

    I don't think they are, but Hyundai Motor Group is not being transparent at all about the ICCU issue, and whether the newer (2026?) models have a new design that's been fixed. We have a '24 EV6 and just love it (our first and only EV at this point), but I do worry about our ICCU failing.
  9. Four years, four R1Ts. An adventure and a bitter-sweet cautionary tale.

    Ugh. I had heard that Rivian was lowest on Consumer Reports reliability scale (and highest on customer satisfaction!). I had thought/hoped these were mostly minor things and software updates, etc... Then I joined this forum due to my R2 reservation and started reading posts like this. Very...
  10. Four years, four R1Ts. An adventure and a bitter-sweet cautionary tale.

    How about the EV9 and Ioniq 9 three tire SUVs? They're not for off-roading but great road cars (our daughter has an EV9 and loves it).
  11. Four years, four R1Ts. An adventure and a bitter-sweet cautionary tale.

    That definitely doesn't sound right. I've never experienced any reduced regen on our EV6 unless I've just charged to 100% (rarely).
  12. Four years, four R1Ts. An adventure and a bitter-sweet cautionary tale.

    That's funny because my buddy used to tell me his Ford dealer wanted him to bring his Explorer in for a caliper cleaning and I told him it was just a money grab 😂
  13. Four years, four R1Ts. An adventure and a bitter-sweet cautionary tale.

    Thank you for taking the time to organize and write this detailed, sincere, well written post. It's a shame you've had so many issues. I can relate to the time it takes to get them fixed, even if they may be covered by warranty. I appreciate it, as a prospective R2 buyer, although I'm really...
  14. Finished R2 demo test drive? Share your review / impressions

    Me too! I'm going to schedule another test drive (if that's allowed) and be sure to check a few things that have come up, like the seat. I'm 6' and didn't notice it on the test drive, but I'm going to double-check. I've had two cars recently whose fatal flaw was the seat (Genesis G70 and 2024...

    A sad attempt to impress. You gotta know your audience doc. 😉
  16. The Hues of Adventure: The inspiration behind the R2 color palette

    That was going to be my vanity plate if I got one 😊
  17. Finished R2 demo test drive? Share your review / impressions

    I'm so happy for you.
  18. Which R2 colors look best when dirty?

    I love the white also, but boy it sure shows the little orange, so-called "rail dust" or iron spots, of which there are many on the lower half of most cars. Most other colors hide these little spots pretty well. They are tough! to remove, even with a clay bar, requiring lots of elbow grease.
