  1. Petite person in R2 drivers seat

    Sure, but I still saw it as a curiosity. That doesn't mean I'm humorless as I edited the post in a way that I thought was funny.
  2. Petite person in R2 drivers seat

    I could blame google but I used girl in my query so it used it in its answer. In any case I fixed it. Lady simply isn't in my lexicon. I see Lady as a Southernly thing so I had to go with something else. I do find it perplexing I used girl. The OP is a personal trainer who might or might not...
  3. Petite person in R2 drivers seat

    I was wondering what the cut off was for petite. According to Google -> The Fashion and Medical Industry considers a fully grown female identifying humanoid who is 5'4" or under as petite.
  4. Petite person in R2 drivers seat

    My GF is 5'4" so I'll report back when she test drives the R2.
  5. Ketchum: Wait for LiDAR? - The Rivian R2 LiDAR story isn’t what you think

    I completely agree with you, but that's not the only reason to hold out. It's generally good advice to hold out on a new model for at least 1 year. A lot of people also have their own unique circumstances that factor into the timing decision. In my case I have a 2022 R1T which works great for...
  6. Will the $45k Rivian R2 actually happen?

    I voted yes but not for a couple years. I do want to preface that by saying in todays dollars as inflation shouldn't count for something like this. It's really about whether they're able to get the price down to compete on price with the Model Y AWD which is roughly $45K or so.
  7. R2 w/ LiDAR, 19-inch wheels spied

    I'm going to wait for the next-gen simply because it's the next-gen. I do find it ridiculous that there is even a next-gen as they should be keeping a lid on that and waiting till they actually accomplish something with it before it even gets green lit for manufacturing. Instead what they did...
  8. Update on R2 order invitation timing now in account

    Reservation placed on March 7, 2024 with an invitation to order in Dec 2026 - February 2027. I believe the invitation is placed so far out due to the preferences I selected. I clicked Not Really to the R2 Performance as I'm interested in the R2 with Lidar.
  9. Rivian AEB failure and crash

    It's strange how some people have entire different experiences. With my Gen1 Rivian No AEB braking - This is extremely tense braking that I've only experienced once in my life with a Jeep Wrangler going into a parking garage. The Jeep thought it was going to hit the wall and slammed on the...
  10. Rivian AEB failure and crash

    The Rivian Gen 1 use Mobileeye EyeQ4 Mid for for the AEB. As far as I can tell it cannot leverage the Cameras around the vehicle for AEB. This is also why the dashboard only renders things in front of the vehicle. Your accident is really only relevant to Gen 1 vehicles.
  11. Video: R2 owner demonstrating charging session at Tesla Supercharger

    If it can't charge in 2-5min then 30min or more is perfectly fine by me. I'll just eat lunch if its 30+ minutes. So I don't really understand the obsession with slightly faster charging speeds.
  12. Video: R2 owner demonstrating charging session at Tesla Supercharger

    EXCEPT the CyberTruck. That's why the sales of the Cybertruck are off the charts. :P
  13. R2 teething/early issues -- new owner needs flatbed 4 hours after delivery

    I'm not going to do EMDR therapy for my Tesla Delivery Experience. The checklist will be at the ready for my R2 with Lidar Delivery. My checklist: Check Charger Door Alignment Play Apple Music for 15 minutes and verify that it does not stop. :)
  14. A Waymo Plowed Through a Construction Zone, Floored It, and Got Chased by the Cops With a Terrified Passenger Along for the Ride

    I'm pretty sure we're already in that sad future. If you look at dating, friendships, employment, etc. On social media we stopped having conversations despite using social media to socialize. It's not a substitute because its typically filled with hostility. The content of them is nothing...
  15. A Waymo Plowed Through a Construction Zone, Floored It, and Got Chased by the Cops With a Terrified Passenger Along for the Ride

    That's part of it It's blissful not having to talk to anyone. You don't have to worry about the driver being sick. In an Uber I always crack open the window just in case. No tipping You don't have to check your rating as there is no rating. At least not yet. Would be amusing to get rated by a...
  16. A Waymo Plowed Through a Construction Zone, Floored It, and Got Chased by the Cops With a Terrified Passenger Along for the Ride

    Yet, I'm still going to pick a Waymo over an Uber. Last time I was in the Uber we did the "Who farted Glances" as it suddenly stunk. I made a record of my Uber Score as I was curious if he would blame me.
  17. Cancelling my Pre-order, thoughts inside from test drive

    I do plan on cross shopping the R2 with some BMW options so I'll make sure to test the software first. As much as I mock the Rivian Software I do recognize that in a way its saving Rivian as that's what VW is getting with their massive investment into Rivian.
  18. Cancelling my Pre-order, thoughts inside from test drive

    Lots of people prefer Apple Maps over Google Maps. It ultimately depends on where you're at, what you're doing, and what kind of interface you like. There isn't a universally preferred choice.
  19. Cancelling my Pre-order, thoughts inside from test drive

    if that was the case Rivian would definitely have car play. Haha. I do get your point. Manufactures rely on carplay to avoid having to fix their crap. I'm just irked that Apple Music keeps pausing. How many updates will it take to fix Apple Music?
  20. Cancelling my Pre-order, thoughts inside from test drive

    I didn't have much issue with the post aside from the car play stuff. Why even reserve a Rivian if car play is on the top of your list of wants? Rivian leadership has always been crystal clear that CarPlay Support was out of the question. I could understand if the poster said they reserved it...
