I stopped reading here. What did you expect? Rivian and Tesla have been pretty open about owning you in their ecosystem. Yes, the Rivian UI doesn't have the features you get with Android Auto/Carplay. If that's important, you are looking at the wrong car ,

I hope Telo makes it. It looks like a car that would work best in the European market , and I think it's slightly over priced for what it is. Had it been $35K (RWD LR) and $40K (AWD LR) i think that that'll be more fitting

and who's clearance? lol

Lets be honest - these will all be pavement princesses, The ground clearance is nice but not really really needed.

Everything is compared to the leader in it's category. Legacy automakers especially Subaru / Toyota, don't deserve the attention. Of the Legacy brands Mach-E and Ioniq are the only ones that are viable options.

They reached out to me to be honest, not sure how or why. They booked me an my friend who has a reservation also. But I looked earlier today, there was an opening for 9am this Saturday. Keep checking the site.

Leasing is renting your lifestyle, turning my driveway into an expensive subscription service makes zero sense. Now on the buying side, I can't justify giving up my Gen 1 2024 R1S for an R2.

I owned a Mach-E as well, if I remember they added AM in a later update BUT an again I haven't used FM In 20+ years. And maybe listen to AM for an underground college station in the mid 90's. I couldn't careless about terrestrial radio. The fact that in 2026 we're talking about...

Yes! this was Hudson, in I'm Hampstead area about 30 mins down 111

Just finished a test drive. Performance half Moon gray. Hit the highway at 80mph. In no way did it feel cheap. I take liked the seats, very comfortable. Ride hight was great. Didn't feel small in any way. Ride quality was great. Road noise, was excellent. Music quality was decent. All...

It’s a gimmick, but I don't mean that as a pure negative. A gimmick catches your attention, but it doesn't automatically mean it's a foundational tech shift. The reality is, being able to say 'Hey car, do X' isn't new. We've had voice-to-action for over a decade. Integrating an LLM like Gemini...

Give me YouTube Music Native, Text read/reply with all text platform ( SMS,MMS, RCS, and OTT) and I'll sign up. I couldn't care less about "Hey, Rivian" its cool but a gimmick
