  1. Where does it get speed limits?

    Some of it comes from map data that is downloaded to the vehicle once in a blue moon, some of it is from the camera.
  2. No real AM or FM radio in the R2

    Point to a product that you can't connect via Bluetooth to a Rivian (that isn't a cell phone). I'm super curious to see what that is.
  3. It’s Tuesday… Any Invites Today [ADMIN WARNING: NO POLITICS / OFF TOPIC POSTS]

    No, it doesn't. You said they announced that deliveries would be early 2026. Rivian has never said that. Just because someone says "first half" doesn't mean that it's going to actually then be "first quarter".
  4. Esker Silver R2 finally marketed by Rivian! Hi-res official images (Updated With More)

    I normally don't like monochrome colors on cars..... But dang, that looks real good!
  5. It’s Tuesday… Any Invites Today [ADMIN WARNING: NO POLITICS / OFF TOPIC POSTS]

    The release window for R2 has always been first half 2026, ever since the first reveal in 2024. I even checked the internet archive. Fine print even then said "first half of 2026".
  6. How can I make the "Bed Camera" the default backup camera?

    The only thing I can think of that makes the bed view default is is having the tailgate down. Are you trying to get a new from the bed cam when reversing with the trailer hitched already? If so, I ended up installing a camera on the back of my trailer with its own screen. Does wonders.
  7. Explain to me like I’m 5…is software really that hard?

    Reminds me of a ditty I read about once (paraphrased)... "99 bugs in the code, 99 bugs in the code, Take one down, Patch it around, 127 bugs in the code"
  8. Those of you with Forest Green R1's

    I'm literally in the forest camping with my Forest Green R1T, and with the dappled light coming thru the trees you get a perfect example of how varied the color can look in sun vs. shade. I love it so much.
  9. R2 Email - Borealis and Launch Package?? Wait??

    If you are able to submit an order right now that confirms your choices of color and interior and also mentions that it's a Launch Edition (which is the only option available right now), then Rivian should honor it. If they don't, then you can have an argument with them about it at the time...
  10. What charging gear does R2 come with? [ADMIN WARNING: NO POLITICS]

    Ya missed out, all the posts got deleted (including mine, which I thought was quite level-headed and not meant to incite anything). The 'politics' involved was essentially making red state/blue state comparisons regarding what laws may or may not be involved in the free chargers and adapters...
  11. Compared to the R2, what makes the Scout a compelling alternative?

    From what I've been seeing reported, this is the big hold-up. Since they don't want to give up frunk space for the generator & fuel tank or outright re-design the body and frame differently from the BEV, its supposedly positioned in front of the rear axle. The two big issues this is causing is...
  12. Compared to the R2, what makes the Scout a compelling alternative?

    One thing to keep in mind is that the charging infrastructure build out, from any of the networks, is far from over. Rivian, Tesla, IONNA, and even EA are all building new sites. There will come a time (and it's sooner than you think in my opinion!) where chargers will become as common as gas...
  13. CNBC: Rivian laying off hundreds of workers amid R2 launch

    The only thing that I saw claiming that group was all laid-off was a reddit post that has since been deleted, and read like someone stuffed the claim into a LLM to write an essay.
  14. Launch Green-Capital District

    It they have an R2 onsite, they likely have color samples in the showroom area. Granted that's a guess on my part, but it seems logical.
