I am like 95% sure this is just bad manufacturing. It's ok for that part to be bad, because it isn't visible and is cosmetic. That Tesla was so low, it never reached the rib you are looking at. The danger is that the structural part of bumper behind plastic is damaged. This is usually cheap to...

If R2 needs to sell at $45k or so, this will not fly. I was talking to a friend considering R2 earlier today.

I think the vacuums got that covered. iRobot fell recently.

Wife hit the cart rails at grocery store. I left them alone. Scratches don't show in white and the ding isn't too visible. Now I don't care about door dings on the passenger side 😂

These are strong vehicles, fantastic for passenger safety. However, I wouldn't be surprised if Tesla is repaired while Rivian is totalled.

People still buy MY and every other car that sells. Price and size are probably #1 and #2 factors. Nothing new here. If I didn't want R1S today, I would look at a Cadillac Lyric / Honda Prologue. They aren't blobs and looks alright. Never drove them though.

Last update has been terrible. Road cam failed to start recording and missed an incident. Bluetooth has been extremely flaky and I had to restart multiple times. Hope they fixed the issues.

I am with you and would have strongly considered the R1S if it was same length as R1T. I don't like putting family so close to the hatch. I prefer a larger crumple zone behind the last row of seats. The real reason is 💰. Me: Does Tahoe outsell Suburban? Google: Yes, the Chevrolet Tahoe...

So, there is a third tier of inspection now, or the basic one is gone?

I have paid for inspection 1-2x over last year or two. I didn't know they were free. They also have 2 tiers of inspections. One in $200 range and another that costs even more.

If you drive in snow, dealing with frozen wipers is part of the experience. I guess it has a setting to park outside the wiper hole in winter? Not sure if I am remembering correctly. What I don't like is that wiper wipes a small part of the glass, like one third. The glass is very short and...

I would expect it to need drivers for new version at minimum. But if it works, even at lower res, it should be an improvement because of better sensor quality.

MY will for sure have a better Cd number. However, we cannot really compare the numbers from different manufacturers. Kind of like, how Tesla EPA estimate is different from BMW for instance. They are on the other ends of accuracy spectrum. Cd numbers are even more unreliable. Don't take my word...

Why compare R2 with M3? I know photos are for it, but it's not a useful comparison. MY is the equivalent.

I think the make sense because launch control 0-60 times are meaningless in real world. Probably even on a race track.

I think one reason is that most super cars are terrible at day to day stuff. Reliability and running costs (idk if owners care) will do the rest.

With R2, Rivian needs simple and reliable design. Not add complexity and cater to niches. They can do that later in special trims.

I love sports cars, but I can't bear how loud some of the cars are. It's unnecessary and obnoxious. A Ferrari or an Lfa sounds beautiful, this doesn't. To each their own.

It's unlikely that they don't know what happened. If they really don't know, they probably don't know how to maintain a car. I would walk. I guess it could have been done by someone else borrowing the car or at service.

Before you think you are the perfect blend of clean and dirty, and argue about it, consider this. Almost, if not every hatch I have seen has this for the exact purpose. It's wet and dirty half the year.
