I'm SO EXCITED!!!!!!!

Thank you so much!

So, I don't have a subscription so I can't look at the article. Anyone want to summarize?

Don't forget that they also need vehicles already ready ahead of time as they will be shutting down the factory for R2 prep later this year. Don't know how long they will need to shut down for though, but the back up in inventory may possibly be for that reason if the shutdown will occur during...

Compared to Mitsubishi though, Rivian is doing a lot of in house manufacturing rather than having others make it which requires more space for the vertical integration. Rivian is pretty into having as much control over everything they can to minimize issues with suppliers, thus why so much space...

Still want something in the mid Atlantic....

Just want to say I see some duplicates. Tramrider form OR has 3 entries towards the end of the list.

Because building a vehicle these days involve the software too. Even if they license it, they have to adapt the AI to work with their car. Just as Volkswagen bought their software, but still need to change it to match their needs. They can't just build a car and haphazardly throw the AI in...

I mean I use a fob too. I don't even have an EV yet (I'm waiting for an R2 and my current car is a basic Nissan Sentra that I've had since 2018 that doesn't even have powered front seats), but a lot of automakers are moving to phone as keys so it's an issue for them (I don't want a phone key as...

AI can better coordinate appointments and locations to speed up serviceability and severity of said appointments can take priority, predict possible quality problems before it hits a mass majority of cars, and order and distribute supply to those service centers to speed up service times as some...

AI can help with the things you mentioned as well as improve the self driving and Highway Assist Rivian promised which is likely their goal. Just because they mention "AI" doesn't mean they're using it for chatbots or a new Alexa. Heck, AI could be used to help the vehicle determine if you are...

For those wondering why this is important, AI can be brought into the autonomous driving and highway assist to help the vehicle make better choices and predict what action to take with context clues around it. So many people complain about lack of FSD compared to Tesla and this can help. It can...

Dude, all I meant was a leader in green energy pursuit. I do have family who live in California, but the anger you have is really unnecessary. All I said was Virginia and Maryland chose to follow California's example to try to match their emission standards ages ago and have not forced other...

That is quite small for battery life and does make me hesitate when commuting for me will be 90 miles a day to work and I had planned to keep the car for a good 8+ years. I only have one car so it will be my only transportation.

You are right that I forgot to factor in the lower efficiency due to drag.

You're right. I completely forgot to compensate for the efficiency and used only the average. That certainly would change things and would likely be the standard pack then.

It would probably be difficult if they haven't fixed their concept version (don't know how it was broken or wrecked but it would probably not be worth the money to fix depending on what the issue was) and they can't release the final version yet until they are ready for an official release...

They just released some information on the battery today. It's looking like the battery may be around 83KWh. With the battery configuration using chatgpt for number crunching that's about 310 miles which I believe would be the large battery. Assuming its 111Wh per cell.

Should we assume this is the large battery pack then? Playing with chatgpt for numbers, I was getting an estimated range of 310-333 depending on the Wh per cell.(111-119Wh). They did say the large battery pack would get over 300 not the standard.

Virginia and Maryland chose to follow that standard a long time ago. California isn't forcing it on anyone. Califormia became a leader and they just kind of followed. It is also more of a suggestion, Both states have pushed back goals they weren't going to meet multiple times. It's more of a...
