No one is cross shopping an R2 Tri and a R1 Standard 😆 They're ditching the Standard because it has a totally different battery technology that Chinese suppliers dominate, and they likely aren't selling many of them. When R2 comes out even fewer people will, as R1 standard shoppers will cross...

Nailed the blue!

Seems like a good marketing effort. Rober used to be a great source of content for the kids, but last we watched him he seemed to be moving in the Mr. Beast / Edutainment direction. Instead of showing the process he started just showing the final product and the "entertaining" part. We did a...

You can tell everyone is just desperately checking the forums for any R2 news because this ridiculous thread about 650mb plastic discs is on to page 6

This thread title is false and misleading. This is just a regular senior technical job posting. Rivian has already designed and manufactured their own inference processor for goodness sakes! There are dozens of jobs listings for autonomy right now, and likely hundreds already working at the...

Let's not send traffic to Electrek please. They shadow ban anyone who disagrees with their narrative, and for the last 3 years that narrative is: Elon bad. Tesla bad. China good. No surprise the article shares no information on if the driver applied the brakes or FSD, maybe the user addresses...

The iX3 sounds like it will be very compelling, and no doubt a few buyers will cross shop the R2, but I think it will be largely irrelevant to R2 for one simple reason: The iX3 isn't cool and the R2 is. Some people don't want cool, they want certain specs and the badge. They might choose the...

Doug DeMuro elaborated more on the R2 on his podcast. He said he is even more positive on the R2 as time has past. "I think that probably the best EV i've ever been around" Starts at 8m if my link doesn't work

No one asked for it but I need a place to write it down in public. Here are my pricing and trim predictions. Best way to keep yourself honest is to make predictions and check them later: I believe there will be a standard and premium interior, but you won't be able to select it, you will need...

No, but compare to the front windshield wipers of any car. Any debris that hits the windshield slides down into the crevice where those are parked. At least this has a smaller aperture debris needs to fall into. The real test is how easy it is to clean. To me it looks like one blast from a hose...

Wow they really crushed it. I was bracing for losing a lot of cool features, and all we lost was fold flat front row seats, which we knew about. Seems like they are positioning the launch spec to compete with the Model Y performance, despite a tri motor planned. At anything under $60k they'll...

I don't know where this "10kwh" came from, I've heard the figure stated before, but on the R1T configurator that $7000 gets you 90 miles of EPA range (~60 real life) Maybe it was 10kwh while they phased out a larger large pack, but thats not 10 kWh today. Additionally, I was indeed comparing...

Have the trim levels posted earlier in this thread been debunked officially? Total lolz at the idea they'd charge $14k for 20 kWh ($700/kWh!!). They currently charge $7k for 90 miles of range (~30kwh) for R1, makes sense, coming in at ~$230/kwh Call me crazy but I don't think you should...

I feel like we should just keep bumping this thread until June when it actually is true.

Echoing what some others have said, I find Kara's speeping vitriol towards the "right" insufferable. I don't need to start my own podcast, I can just not listen to hers, and instead criticize it on the internet 😂. This is unfortunate as I usually like listening to RJ who has had the sense to...

If the world is going autonomous it still needs 3 row SUVs... I don't have a doom-and-gloom view of Tesla, however I think this move is revealing and quite embarrassing. Despite its size and market cap, Tesla is unable to execute on multiple products simultaneously. Even mid-size car brands...

As we all know VW never had any catastrophic software related delays until Rivian came along. And everyone knows that Rivian's imminent release of R2 "on time" in Q2 2026 is just beginners luck...

Threads like this are so bizarre. My Gen1 T feels every bit as up to date as my Gen2 S, so long as I don't turn on Autonomy. Gotta wonder if some folks even remember what these trucks were like in 2022. If I get into my 2019 Model X it's like going back to... 2019. Brace yourselves for 800v...

FWIW Doug Demuro said a few weeks ago he would be driving an R2 in "a couple months". I think its quite likely the PR for this car will ramp up quickly and this timeline seems pretty reasonable.
