wonder what's under the hood, wonder if the stretcher would not fit in tunel

You can spend $$$ and get it fixed, or wear it proudly so everyone thinks that you and the R1T work just like a "real" truck.

All this for an advert? Can even my Rivian transport me somewhere out of the reach of marketing?

Some potential buyers are paralyzed by FOMO and over analysis leading to confusion rather than clarification. But consider the alternative universe where technological development stagnates or moves much more slowly, and ask yourself if that is a preferable universe. Do you really want to...

Silver hides dirt the best, no question. I like silver on cars for that reason, but get whatever color you like the best. I got the forest green because if I waited to get a silver one, I risked loosing out on the $7500 rebate. I like Forest Green, but it shows dirt like dandruff on a black...

Heh. No doubt, or even the discarded Perrier bottles to be even more on point.

I have not seen too many auroras in my lifetime, but the a dozen or so that I have seen have all been mostly green, not purple. I should also comment that it's hard to write articles like this one without sounding unbearably pretentious. Reviews of hi end stereo equipment, Chardonnays, and...

It's encouraging to see the sales bump, especially this soon after the end of the subsidy. The stock is worth what the investors are willing to pay for it, and that isn't necessarily tied to the performance of the company. But Rivian's success, like most any other company, isn't dependent upon...

Unless I am mistaken, I believe the difference in question revolves around unlocking the $5K software performance package rather than choosing a tri-motor or quad-motor over the dual motor. This is a software update that basically alters how the motors, suspension etc. respond to driver...

RJ, we're just about ready to lauch the R2 on schedule, except Raj and his team haven't quite finished Pet Mode yet. I mean, they just about got it, just a few bugs. You wanna wait til it gets sorted out?

And are they <= $5k?

Thanks for this, yes, standard running boards can be flimsy and are not designed to support the vehicle weight. I should have specifically wrote rock-sliders that also function as running boards much like the following. (I don't think anyone has yet designed one for Rivian :(

While there were lots of hatch backs in the late '70s, the one the R3 most reminds me of is AMC's Gremlin, and you know, it did LOOK pretty cool in its day, a shame it was such a disappointment of a vehicle, although compared to it's domestic competition, the Pinto and the Vega, it's not bad...

Runnning boards offer a number of benefits that some might find compelling: A helpful step for ingress/egress, especially for small kids, and the elderly, like my 87-year-old mom who finds it difficult to get in and out of the truck. If designed and installed correctly, can double as rock...

Rome wasn't built in a day, but Pompei was destroyed in one

NBC news has an interesting cost calculator where you input your tank size, number of fill ups/month and state and see how much more you would have paid in gas since late February. In my case that would've worked out to about $500 more, which is a lot, but not much in comparison to the higher...

I don't disagree that we should expect better. But there is a difference between the world as it should be and the world as it is. I strive for the ideal, I deal with the reality.

For me, the ridiculously comical headlights did not stop me from purchasing my R1T, but I still think they are ridiculously comical. There is a far better chance that Rivian will revise the R2 charge door and a 2% chance they will give the R1 headlights that are more serious and less "adorable."

Don't know about Rivian, but it looks like you were smart enough to figure it out ;)

TBH, I don't think any new R2 owners should be surprised at all when they discover flaws and glitches on their brand new R2 SUVs because it's a new model from a still relatively new company. Indeed, I think it would be naive to think otherwise. Ironically, they are paying premium prices to be...
