Biggest issues with R1 seems to be: suspension, clutch disconnect and front axles. The suspension is much much simpler on the R2 and the vehicle weighs less so axles and clutch should not be an issue. Still, new carmaker and new vehicle, so it won't be perfect day 1. I would expect less issues...

Air suspension is great... if it's reliable. For those that live in the mountains, turn off the Regen brake blending feature. It overheats the brakes on long downhills and warps the rotors.

I wonder if they will ever release a max battery that gives a bit more range.

I suspect that at some point, multiple automakers will have it, just like every car today has ABS

Either way, if you have to supervise, it's not super useful. I need the car to drive itself while I sleep in the back.

Per Gemini Levels 4 and 5: Corporate & Product LiabilityProduct Liability Laws: Because there is no human driver required, accidents caused by system errors fall under product liability, software defects, or negligent maintenance by the fleet operator.Shift to Commercial Insurance: Autonomous...

Because we live in a free country and plenty of people vote with their money. You do you.

When Tesla takes on the liability for FSD accidents, it will be level 4. Til then it's level 2.

They're certainly not level 4 at this point or we would have heard about it. FSD is an amazing level 2 ADAS, but that's it

It's because of the accelerator mapping. All the Tesla I drove had the same issue. It feels like the mapping is very linear such that any pressure of the accelerator launches the car. Rivian has a more exponential curve which makes the car smoother to drive.

I am sure it's a great car. We had a 2021 Y which we liked and traded for a 22 R1T. Main issue is that the Y is the new Camry. Everybody has one and interior is nothing special.

It's a clever program as it brings in new EV customers. And EV buyers tend to buy more EVs over time.

It's pretty obvious that Rivian decided to release R2 with minimum viable software. They need the money, I get it. Early adopters don't care, but for those that do, I suggest waiting a few months to see how it improves. I suspect that it's going to be a great product by next year. As for the...

Aside from racing, manual gears suck. Reality is that I just drive at reasonable speeds on freeway and around town, and for that an EV is most practical. Back to original topic, interest in EV will continue to increase. It's mostly an issue of exposure to it.

FSD is awesome but all I need is highway ADAS and Rivian gen2 delivers what I need. And Autonomy+ should get better.

I tend to derate as well in triple digits temperature

I have basic reading skills and gathered this much. I was curious as to where the rule came from.

I meant, why 4 hours at 75mph specifically? Is it a random number or does it correspond to a specific road trip?

So did we find out in the thread where the 4 hour requirement stems from?

Being that the sun has a few billion years to go before becoming a supernova, it's pretty safe to assume that we will have a few more mass extinction events between now and then.
