I personally miss the feel of manual transmission. Bought a manual in college and loved how I got to decide its RPM and hum, and the feel the transmission while shifting. So, I used to switch between a fun manual and a practical automatic about every change in cars UNTIL I drove my 1st...

I’d love to learn how you got your dogs to use ramps. I tried the YouTube ways, but my Dals have never liked ramps. They’d rather, when young enough, jump or climb in through a back passenger’s seat/seat area. And, when old, rely on me to help lift ‘em a little.

…so what percentage of the 200K reservations do you think the 20K-25K 2026 production goal/estimate is intended to cover as Performance LE bookings?

day-3 for me. …likewise, not a current Rivian owner…driving a 1st year, eGolf that’s showing its age, ain’t no longer worth much, but (knock on wood) hasn’t given up the ghost.

Excuse my ignorance, but is there a graph of reservation count by days, weeks, or months somewhere? I’d be interested in the load/demand vs production volume from Day-1 over the ramp up of production. from what I understand, there was something like 68,000 reservations in the first 24 hours...

Whoa! Well done!! i was just posting the other day in the thread on Forest Green about this very phenomenon. And, now you’ve come up with a great example of the shift. 🧐

same here. And, as a happily Enphase solar with Enphase battery & management customer, their new bidirectional EVSE is on my radar as well. when I looked into Tesla’s bidirectional EVSE, it only worked with Teslas. Has that changed? I am looking into the R2, and the other EV crossovers/SUVs...

Good looking crew! 😎

i too did my 1st demo there. I had a little better experience than you, I was greeted by 3 different people just trying to make my way from the back door (where the parking structure is located) up to the front of the space where the R2 was. But yep, my drive prep etc, pretty much was the same...

Is there no kind of “dead reckoning”? …aka “DR” i’d figured that these functions would switch to inertial. Maybe I’m too new to modern nav systems, but ships have used DR (manual or inertial) as a primary or backup nav since the 1600s.

three thoughts… 1/ I agree, the forest green is my favorite color too for the R2 along with the light interior (I do wish there was a cognac brown leather interior for it though). Checking out this thread, it’s my second favorite color too for the R1 (Yep, I’m a compass yellow fan. …canyon red...

THANK YOU, YOU'RE THE BEST!! Your post is quite helpful and hopeful!!!

What is there is well executed. That said, there’s a lot of room for improvement. 1/ Why is the launch missing Rivian Assistant? I was told it isn’t available yet. I came to check out its tight integration, but it can’t be demonstrated. Frustrating! I have seen a comparison against Tesla for...

I’m a longtime driver/owner of Electric Vehicles (EV): initially one of the 1st 1000 owners of the Chevrolet Volt (serial hybrid), then a used 2015 VW e-Golf (battery EV, or BEV). I also own a 2015 Subaru Outback internal combustion engine (ICE) that we use for distance driving (heading down to...
