Optionally, one could also try to pay more attention and not solely rely on technology.
I remember years ago when I purchased my first car with the rearview camera tech. As the salesman was going over things, he said āin the event that the camera doesnāt workā¦ā I interrupted him and said āturn...
R2 orderedā¦but hits of a R4 and 5ā¦. Well I might as cancel my R2 order and wait for the latest and greatest R5. But that means the R7 would be right around the corner. Ok. Iāll hold off til the R8.

In my demo I had yesterday, that kit (air compressor and the can of goo) is supplied. In the trunk area lift up both boards and itās there right behind the rear seat.
Iām also forgoing the spare. It was the 90ās that last time I needed a spare. I am getting a repair kit, the kind that looks...
It has a top down view. If you are looking at the screen that has the left and right mirror down having view and the behind view, just tap on the down view and itāll switch to the overhead and behind view.
At least thatās the way I switched in my demo yesterday.
Hereās my 2Ā¢ās
Timeline:
Reserved day of event. Then bought an R1S. Love everything about it.
This past Monday I got my invite to build/buy.
Today I test drove the R2
TL;DR: put in my order and gave my deposit this afternoon. Just waiting on an eta.
Iām in the St. Louis region so I booked...
My invite to order just landed in my inbox. Day one reservation. Made it just after the R2 presentation. Current R1S lease holder. We donāt have any Rivian Spaces her in STL but we do have a service center. And conveniently enough they have a demo to check out. Taking it for a spin tomorrow then...
I have the Ocean Coast (or whatever the R1 version is. And I love it. Makes the cabin look and feel more light and airy. As for upkeep, no complaints. I volunteer and my local shelter and Iāll 5/6 or so dogs each weekend (over the last 2 years) to events and other than slobber on the insides of...
My R1S is my only vehicle (well, now that I sold my Ducati) and itās perfect for any occasion. I too delivery late ā24 and 5 days later I drove it cross country to visit my folks. I hoped the charging network was all itās cracked up to be, and to my pleasant surprise it was. I also learned on...
The set of Pirelliās (22ā) on my R1S had 30k on them. I probably could have eeked out another 5 or 6. The performed well for my use. Iāll probably get the 21ās on the R2.
On another set of Pirelliās I only got 3k on them, but that was on my Ducati which I rode hard.
IF the latching mechanism is comparable, couldnāt I disassemble my bars, cut off an inch or two from both ends (the open parts in the middle) and call it a day?
Couldnāt an inverse block be made where the touch surface is 100%. Basically a block with a hump on the top and the base with a hole for a bottle jack and an outer shape conducive to a floor or lift jack. And make the surface that interfaces with the vehicle have similar non slip grooves?
sure...
