Rivian to Begin R2 SUV Deliveries 'By June' | EV: https://www.wglt.org/local-news/2026-01-26/rivians-first-test-r2s-come-off-the-line-after-fast-track-expansion-in-normal Rivian's first test R2s come off the line after fast-track expansion in Normal January 26, 2026 Rivian’s new model, the...

I think the biggest problem is....they (VW) are trying to extend their I.C. business by continuing with hybrids/EREV's/etc. Rivian was always planning on developing software for pure EVs and VW threw a curveball by changing intentions after the JV was formed. Sort of like the change of...

Sounds like you're in turtle mode if your speed is limited above 50 mph. Are you sure there's not a picture of a yellow turtle on the driver's screen??? Turtle mode lets you accelerate normally up to 50 mph...but then its as if the motor cuts out and you're limited to 50 mph. Its an...

@gerrylum I know the "hack-a-thon" was a couple of weeks ago. Have you heard any update on progress on "angular steering" for the Rivian??? I remember there was some sort of a bounty for anyone who could make it work........but I haven't heard a peep since. Thought this might have been a hot...

Amazon will buy thousands of pedal-assist cargo vehicles from Rivian spinoff Also https://techcrunch.com/2025/10/22/amazon-will-buy-thousands-of-pedal-assist-cargo-vehicles-from-rivian-spinoff-also/

How'd that Cybertruck (in the 3rd pic) manage to crash the Rivian party???

If I'm not mistaken, the Rivian still provides power (a very small amount) to power devices for a couple of minutes after you exit the vehicle. Try this.....exit the vehicle and check again in about 5 minutes. The unit should be shut down. Note: If it is still on, check again after 10...

Ah yes........just cruising around the beach towns of Delaware trying to pick up babes with my Cybertruck....:oops: I'll bet if you look closely the next time one drives by that they're driving SOLO.:CWL:

Thanks...this just provided me with an AHA moment. I've had issues with the autosteer on some of the nearby winding country roads and even in my development. About a block from my house there's a sweeping turn of about 60 degrees or so. No matter how slow I take the turn, my truck starts the...

I'm glad Rivian is looking to get some name and vehicle recognition. However, as was just pointed out: I'll fess up...I'm a retired numbers guy, not a marketing guy....it's a "cute" ad, but if I didn't already know that a Rivian had a gear tunnel and was an EV, I'd probably think this was an...

Gerry, I've got a Comma 3X harness which I installed (except for the mount) 3 or 4 days ago. My Chun mount is supposed to arrive on Monday. I'd like to have the longitudinal control accessible thru Rivian's speed control buttons....BUT, if I understand you correctly, if I get Lukas' box, I'm...

Super news! If OpenPilot has BOTH lateral and longitudinal control, will it now (in theory) be able to follow a designated route??? If so (once again in theory) could we use the navigation screen to set up a route and have OP actually drive it???

Have not seen it yet in my IRS account. With all the turmoil due to DOGE cuts it wouldn't surprise me that there's going to be a lag for things to get processed.....even though it should be instantaneous in a computerized system.:eek:

Rivian is aware of the situation. I just had them contact me yesterday and indicate they were providing the information to the IRS for my credit to be issued. This only happened after I sent the following to a couple of folks at Rivian that I had previously interacted with: I appreciate your...

It's where someone just leaves an event without saying goodbye or letting the hosts know.
