Do we realize 2030 is 3.5 years away? Most people who choose to lease will be returning the R2 then.
It is tough to be on the cutting edge of technology. So many Sony products sit in a box at my house.
China has a 5 minute charging battery today (even at freezing). That technology is here.
Why...
This video killed me, she does not know the difference between Leather and vinyl. To be fair, Rivian calls it 'Vegan Leather'. Made from the skins of the Vegan.
I am not sold on Bio-based car products lasting. I am still pissed about the soy wrapped wiring and squirrels(rats). On the bright side, it created a whole new industry to address the issue.
Got mine, Reservation placed March 21, 2026:
You’ll be invited to order in September–November 2026
I am starting to think the take up rate on the R2 is not what they expected.
did anyone else see the muddy dirt under the charge door. Is that flowing right into the charge port? Is that going to grease the connectors? I am thinking this is right for a 3d printed cap.
I appreciate and listen to the OP's posts. He is able to clearly articulate his thoughts and reason through logic. Also, my momma said if I do not have anything nice to say then keep quiet.
I am not convinced Rivian will make it as a company. They have to appeal to a larger audience, like me...
This bring up a question for me. I do not own a Rivian and my personal driver is old 2010 Ford AWD. We also had a Subaru Outback a few years ago.
If you get a flat on a Rivian do you have replace all 4 tires like the Outback and my Ford?
In the old days, before AWD or on 4WD you could...
lucky Rivian owns the whole stack. It is easy to admit and correct your errors. Unless they out source, then they are F'd. Outsourcing has been the down fall of software. Not to mention country names, you know who I am talking about.
you know, original star trek still had buttons and it was in the future. Talking to the computer is great until the Klingon are attacking, the alarm is blaring and people are dying in pain all around.
That is how many weeks to make 500 trucks? 4-5 weeks? 125 a week, 20 weeks left in the year, 2,500 total production? My mathing seems wrong. Maybe the second shift can add another 3k by years end.
