I would have loved Gen 2 Quad Borealis as a Launch Edition. I feel like the vehicles today was what Rivian originally was hoping to launch.

While a Gen 1 owner, one of the most pleasant ownership experiences is to show off updates to the vehicle to people who ride with me regularly. Getting the bird's eye view, turn signal cameras, remote Gear Guard viewing, etc... gradually over time and people experiencing it with me has sold a...

Following. Is this different from the Rivian Care pilot? Early adopter here, so: 5 years or 60,000 miles for "Comprehensive warranty" 8 years or 175,000 miles for "Battery and drive system warranty" Not going to hit the mileage at my rate of driving, will eventually hit the years. Given a lot...

Full interview here: Notable moments for me: Rivian hoping to open a East Coast HQ at the Georgia plant R1 autonomy was a "throw-away" platform (this stings!) RJ thinks we'll still own our cars in the future, even if they are fully autonomous

I know this is a detail most people don't care to think about, but I much prefer to have separate amber lights as the turn signal on the rear of the vehicle. R1 doesn't have it, looks like R2 won't have it either.

Found a link to the full interview, it's a good listen/watch: Other bits RJ mentions R1 was purposely launched with Mobileye with the intent of building an internal autonomy program afterward R2 is a better "perception stack" than R1 Rivian is trying to filter out "bad behaviors" from the...

I'll share my personal experience. It's definitely a risk to rotate tires at Discount Tire. Not sure if it was because I was one of the first Rivian drivers, but I had to break the rules and walk into the service area to let the workers know a puck was about to slip. If a puck almost slipped...

Good to see they're continuing to release new products. Maybe I'll pick one up after my warranty expires so service can't point to it as a problem. By then hoping for a Comma 5 or Comma 6. I don't foresee Gen1 vehicles getting any substantial updates moving forward. Seems like Rivian might have...

Digging the color scheme 😏 ...Faraday Future is still around?!?

I was wondering what happened to the old Tesla logo on that building. Mystery solved. This location is seems more convenient, the original location was a bit of a drive on the side roads to get to. Still hoping for more service centers to open across the city though in addition to the Katy one.

Fantastic write up, based on what you shared I'm about to put in a pre-order. I read every single word and it unleashed my imagination of what was possible.

The one highlight from this interview is that I'm looking forward to the revival of the Avocado model! How it went from code name Avocado to Peregrine should have been a story in itself.

That's amazing it has the sensors to figure out what terrain you're on. Off-topic, but that Slate Sky interior is looking great.

Finally! I like to play around with the audio settings recommended by people on this forum, but was really hard to switch back and forth to compare how I personally like the sound without going through all those clicks every time.

Cool find, this is a more elegant design as long at this doesn't increase the cost or make the wipers harder to replace. Not a patent expert, but hopefully the wording of "may" include drainage and heating elements actually means "will" include. It would be silly to have this design and not...

Good sharing. I hear the Rivian founding story all the time, but it never gets old. It's absolutely incredible Rivian has come this far after starting a car company following a global recession with practically nothing, building the factory and launching vehicles during a worldwide pandemic, and...

Pool mobile?!?!

Great interview/podcast. You can really see the car enthusiast within RJ come out. Makes me more excited in what they have planned for R3/R3X.

This has got to be the strangest interview with RJ out there, and it was hilarious. I loved the rant session and dunking on the wireless charging pad right in front of him. Was real close to getting a response about what happened with the launch edition price hike too, but fortunately gave RJ...
