This is kind of disappointing. They talk about expanding existing stations but don't say anything about new locations. It implies that there's not going to be much growth in the network going forward, otherwise they would have mentioned that.

At least a dozen R2's were transported to October 21, 1985.

Mine is 2444719152 for a reservation placed shortly after preorders opened on March 7th.

Has Scaringe started Bezos's post-divorce workout plan?

"Are you willing to pay extra for a frunk?" would not sound like clickbait. The way it's phrased, it sounds like the frunk is software locked. It's very different than charging a fee for use of equipment already installed, as in the BMW heated seats debacle.

The titles of this thread and the articles are very misleading. It's not a software paywall. If you don't pay for a frunk liner it's not installed at the factory. This is no different than any other paid option for ICE vehicles for the last 100 years.

In this timeline the R1 has carplay.

This season is set in the 2010s BTW. This is one the best ongoing sci-fi series on TV. I highly recommend checking it out. It's also starting to feel like an Expanse prequel which is a good thing.

You're not going to walk out of a Kara Swisher interview without hearing anti-tech-bro vitriol. Also, Trump and Musk have made it pretty much impossible to make a distinction between their persons and policies.

I think Grok was running the soundboard at the beginning of the presentation.

It seems like most of the people who drive Rivians on screen are jerks, brutal capitalists and/or psychopaths :CWL: All Her Fault, Billions, Dark Matter, Morning Show, Mountainhead, for example. Rivian needs to work on their product placement. Buy Ted Lasso (edit: or Paddington Bear) a Rivian...

Can you flip the Rivian over and shake it?

This is one of the reasons why I always road trip with a J1772 extension cord.

Yes, public fast charging is expensive and compares unfavorably to petrol. Your calculations would be much more favorable and true to the real-world if you would factor in the cost of the 79,600 miles you drove on home charges. Next time book a hotel with level 2 chargers on site. They're...
