Probably not worth getting into it with the owner, but I'd point out that the different font and spacing of the "Tesla" compared to "Vehicle Charging Only" makes it clear it's not one continuous sentence of "Tesla Vehicle Charging Only", but rather, it's a Tesla-branded sign indicating that the...

Sorry to hear about your experience, but I'm unaware of a 30 day money back guarantee...it's 7 days/1k miles as far as I know (https://rivian.com/support/article/what-is-the-return-policy-on-a-rivian-vehicle). There's always lemon law if this continues to be a problem, but if you don't want to...

I'm surprised they didn't feature the frunk or the roll-down tailgate glass on the R2.

Was that for the First Edition/RST whatever it is that's $100k+? I too have a reservation, but I didn't reserve the high trim one, and it's been crickets on communication (and yes, it has been over 2 years...reservations opened in Jan 2022).

Great spec! Out of curiosity, does the fact that you're keeping the all weather floor mats mean that this is being replaced by another Rivian?

TLDW (and I even only watched the last ~5min or so)...public reception has been more positive than he was expecting; steer-by-wire is next level; OEM tires are terrible in the snow; feels more solid than any Tesla he's owned/driven before; Rivian still his pick (for now).

For context, the Model 3 hit 180k reservations after being open for 24 hours

Has anyone seen the % split of Model Y RWD vs. AWD? I'd guess that the RWD has a significantly lower take rate, and that'd probably be the same for R2. Most will probably upgrade for ~$5k to AWD (not sure how many will go up to tri-motor).

Really impressed with the R2 reveal...however, would've loved a front row bench seat option (like the Defender) to increase flexibility to 6 passengers without adding a 3rd row. I'm sure the take-rate hasn't been that high on the Defender, so there probably isn't enough market justification for...

In the latest gen it's tucked up underneath the rear spoiler, but for a long time it would just sit below the rear window on the hatch itself (see below--when "on" it wouldn't return to that position on each wipe, it'd stay just above on the glass, and then when you turned it off, it'd move back...

Most interested in the cargo/tailgate and 3rd row seat back mats. Biggest questions are how are the sections on the tailgate and 3rd row seat back secured and how easy is it to reposition the cargo floor since it looks like the mat covers the handle.

Toyota had a 3% interest in Tesla but sold it off in 2017. For whatever reason, they seem to be very slow to get behind fully electric vehicles (bZ4X...really, that's the best they can do?). Of the electric brands, I could most easily see Lucid ending up with Toyota, and they basically move all...

Unfortunately, doesn't include any formal range testing, but Micah Muzio just posted a review of a performance dual motor max pack R1T. Generally, he was very positive in the review, but seemed suspect that the 400mi range estimate is realistic in the real world. Included some off-road testing.

Certainly from a different time, but back when the Model S was first released, it was an extra $20k to go from the 60kWh pack to the 85kWh one (25kWh for $20k).

I’m probably reading too much into the graphics of the invite, but I’m wondering if they might be indicating a 90 degree rotation of the headlights for the R2…

Admittedly, sample size of 1, but there's a new Tesla supercharger site in Pacific Grove, CA that was installed in early November that hasn't been activated yet supposedly because of transformer/local utility delays.

Did you get it appraised with all the mods you have? I don't think Carvana likes to deal with non-stock vehicles (more of a hassle for them).

Looks like the Honda HR-V is experiencing something similar. Honda is saying it’s due to a manufacturing defect that gets amplified with the use of the rear defroster. https://www.motortrend.com/news/honda-hr-v-exploding-rear-glass-window-lawsuit-nhtsa-complaint
