  1. R2 Launch Mode demo by Wassym -- 0-60 in 3.45s. Coming to R2 in next OTA update

    Over 60 it doesn't pull like it does from 0-60 mph. The 0-100 time on CB is the same as that R2 run, which means the 60-100 for CB is 4.4 while 60-100 for R2 is only 3.4. I don't expect it to be anywhere near the same feeling for 0-60. But if it's quicker than our old MYP that's great.
  2. R2 Launch Mode demo by Wassym -- 0-60 in 3.45s. Coming to R2 in next OTA update

    I'm actually more excited about the better top end (50+) acceleration than the 0-60 launch that I rarely get to use. Flooring it to pass on the highway happens more often than flowing it from a stop. I currently drive a Cyberbeast, which is VERY quick to 60 but beyond that does not feel like it...
  3. Ketchum: Wait for LiDAR? - The Rivian R2 LiDAR story isn’t what you think

    All of the unsupervised cars have bumper cameras (and I don't think any without the bumper camera will ever be unsupervised). There is still a massive line spot beside each front fender though, and in certain sharp angles turns (which are more frequent in the mountains where I live) I notice...
  4. R2 Launch Mode demo by Wassym -- 0-60 in 3.45s. Coming to R2 in next OTA update

    and Model YP 0-100 mph is 7.7s vs R2 at 6.99!
  5. Home Wall Charger

    I’ve had my Tesla wall connector in my driveway in the sun, rain and snow for 10 years now. It’s just a great product and not clunky looking.
  6. Rivian owners file lawsuit alleging false promises on self-driving features

    I was a pre safety score FSD tester in my Model 3. When we got the scoring system in wife’s Y we could not get a high enough score to get FSD beta no matter how hard we tried. Just going around curves dinged us.
  7. Rivian owners file lawsuit alleging false promises on self-driving features

    Tesla was careful with wording on the website and left all the nonsense hyping to Elon which seemed to have worked as far as no big lawsuits over what hardware 2 and 3 cannot do still. Elon made all kind of claims while the site was pretty vague about details.
  8. Buyer Beware: R2 21" Wheels - No tires options other than OEMs

    Same thing happened with my 2009 Honda Fit. Of course later I think other tires were made that size but the first new tires I had to buy were OEM. I don’t understand why manufacturers do this.
  9. New Tesla Model Y L launching this weekend [ADMIN WARNING: NO POLITICS, NO ELON TALK]

    This guy REALLY wants Tesla to be Level 4 even though it’s not 😜 if it was Level 4, Tesla would be bragging about it
  10. New Tesla Model Y L launching this weekend [ADMIN WARNING: NO POLITICS, NO ELON TALK]

    You have to pay attention. L3 and L4 do not require attention. It’s that simple. Cybercab and the Robotaxi Ys are Level 4. Customer cars still require attention aka Level 2.
  11. R2 w/ LiDAR, 19-inch wheels spied

    Reminder that lidar here is used for ground truth validation, not for driving like Waymo does. Tesla uses lidar for ground truth validation as well, but they have to send a fleet of specially equipped cars to each area they want to expand driverless robotaxis to validate before launch. The...
  12. New Tesla Model Y L launching this weekend [ADMIN WARNING: NO POLITICS, NO ELON TALK]

    FSD is great, but it's DEFINITELY L2 still. I just had to take over yesterday for a critical issue. L3 means you don't have to pay attention but still required to be in the seat to take over if needed. L4 means you don't even have to be in the car. Cybercabs are L4, as no driver is required...
  13. New Tesla Model Y L launching this weekend [ADMIN WARNING: NO POLITICS, NO ELON TALK]

    Wife has a 2025 Y and had a 2021 Y Performance before that. Great cars. But they're just that, cars. Tall cars, but cars nonetheless. YL is just a little bit longer tall car.
  14. "It's a rare consumer product [R2] that approaches perfection" -- Jason Cammisa

    I completely disconnect while driving. If someone needs me they can call. I don’t know why people want to be available for texting 24/7.
  15. Update on R2 order invitation timing now in account

    Not a current Rivian owner, reserved about 30 minutes into the unveiling. I wonder if the alleged October end date for Launch edition means RAP1+lidar follows right after. I can’t imagine buying one without the new hardware in a month or two gap where you don’t get all the included LE stuff.
  16. R2 teething/early issues -- new owner needs flatbed 4 hours after delivery

    I’ve seen it happen with legacy autos so it’s just something to expect. The thing to watch is if it’s happening often or not.
  17. R2 teething/early issues -- new owner needs flatbed 4 hours after delivery

    my early 2018 Model 3 caused me about 10 trips to the service center (2.5 hours away) my 2019 Model 3 and wife's 2021 Model Y each had once visit in 4 years each. my Cybertruck has been to service twice in 18 months and currently cannot charge at home due to PCS failure. It happened over a month...
  18. Would you go with 20" wheels or 21" wheels on Launch Edition R2?

    I'll go with 21 and then look at what Martian is making for R2
  19. Cancelling my Pre-order, thoughts inside from test drive

    Most of this is very nitpicky and odd to cancel over. The only one I will address is aftermarket accessories. The reason there aren't many is because R1S/R1T are low volume cars. R2 will have a ton of aftermarket accessories because that's a much larger addressable market for the makers of those...
