I am not sure why I would add the maintenance of an ice system. Oil, belts, hoses, coolant are all time based service intervals even if you never use them. Seems like the worst of both worlds for most users

I have not gotten my email yet but I plan on buying the R2 ASAP. We will replace a 6 year old Tesla M3 with it. Being retired means just pay cash like we did for R1S and not fret on money factors or interest rates. We will replace the R1S when there is a new R1S with lidar some day and keep the...

But Tesla drivers are much less likely to use their frunk, we have a model 3 and in 6 years we have used it under a dozen times but use Rivian daily

You are correct! You should no own an EV if you are against regenerative braking, good luck with ICE car

But I hate the “D” thing!

EST?

On our Tesla model 3 we never use the frunk, on our R1S we use it daily, totally different vehicles and usage demographics. I fully understand why Rivian went with the much cheaper gas struts but also agree they should have added powered open/close as an option for those that desire it.

The author lives in Santa Cruz and may be using highway 17 as a commute (most fatalities per mile in California I believe) so I factored that in, plus escapes don’t have huge brakes

I feel this is a totally unrealistic comparison, just done with a lack of knowledge. For this reason I will be constructive as our community should be. First, as others have noted it’s apples to oranges. if we use your logic we should all be driving prius plugins and no trucks or suvs would be...

Kinda same for me, I was hour one preorder, and we may use the R2 to replace our 2019 Tesla 3

Same here! Guess qa was on a break

Exactly, and my wife gets very upset when I do it! It works really well to both hide your location and start a large fight 😳🙄🤣!

😳 oh my gosh your right! Where have I been?

Since ios26 is Beta and not fleshed out, I am not surprised this doesn’t work

Read this please from over 3 yers ago where Rivian responded to some questions

not true, they have discussed often down to specs June 28th 2024 they detailed it out on there “investors day”. 24 kw on all R2 and 11kw on r2

Until they do it it’s a scam they have promoted for years

It was a selling point, and a scam

I have said before, and will say again, Rivian has no intention of building a bidirectional charging system, it’s all marketing hype to trick us into buying.

Yes, same for me
