People still don't know about Rivian. In my area, the Rivian Marketing director says maybe 15% awareness in this area of the east coast. Putting it in a high traffic area, ex. Tysons Corner in the DMV area, helps with awareness. Afterall, Rivian can't legally sell through these areas, only order...

Not really speculation. RJ said this multiple times that the Georgia plant would do the exports. So they won't be looking at getting an R2 until 2028.

They can teach you in a driving test, but it doesn't mean you use it in real life. I don't think I ever backed in until like 10 years after my test because there was no need. Still not comfortable with it, but I drive a 2018 nissan sentra and the back up camera isn't great (can't see the right...

Really need a comma between the never and not. The double negative made me think you would always buy a tesla. Had to go ack and reread t after the diss about the basic furniture. 🤣

It's finally opening! Here is their grand opening event schedule. I am considering going to the hike that weekend. Electric Vehicles in McLean | Rivian Space

It does have a slight moped feel. I don't think this is meant to be a full on e-bike but a hybrid for long distance commuting. It would fall in line with things that they said about alternative forms of transportation. Also depends on who the intended audience is for the bike. If form and...

Putting aside the fact that snow, mud, and heavy rain areas need a wiper, I just don't trust drivers. There are so many people who don't use blinkers or drive like maniacs, and its easier to guess if they are going to recklessly switch lanes and pull up and try to pass you on the side and enter...

This study ignores that batteries can be 90% recycled which would lower emissions overtime as well as a greener electricity grid over time. It really depends in what state you live in. WAshington state for example has a very clean grid, unlike Wyomig or West Virginia which has some of the...

Yeah... human rights... you know we're on a human rights watch list now, right?

Well when you have an older car like I do that doesn't have a blind spot warning or exterior cameras or even an alarm in your rear to tell you something is behind you or to the side, it becomes a lot more important don't it. Also, I do like the option in case snow and ice causes issues and I can...

Speak for yourself. Where I live it rains and snows a lot. I know most people in this forum live in CA, FL, Tx, and CO, but don't forget the rest of the states where we very much get all four seasons. Really don't want to drive to VT again in a snow storm without a back wiper again. Getting out...

My argument was that peole act like people cross shopping two complete different vehicles is strange when any vehicle can be cross shopped with anything. Even buying houses you could cross shop a small condo in the city or a larger house in the suburbs, both very different but may fullfill...

Don't think people actually buying in cash or financing would be able to get it though. It is unfortunately, but the battery factory in Arizona will not be done in time for the beginning of the R2 production so it will be sourced from outside the country starting out, meaning they won't get the...

I don't get the whole cross shopping argument happening her. As someone who will probably never take the R2 off road or camp in it, ever, I am cross shopping the R2 or a sedan. Yes, they are two completely different types of cars. But I am also the only one driving it so I technically don't need...

Don't think that matters. It's "Do I want an apple? Or do I want an orange? What am I in the mood for." In that case you're just comparing your current needs in which yeah, you'll compare them.

I'd consider that a pro for Rivian or a con for Ford then. How they are treating their infotainment system tells you how each company approaches their EVs. Rivian is thinking, how can we make this better. They listen to criticism, and though they haven't figured out their quality control issues...

That has been the plan and what the Georgia plant is partially for,

Could be for their fleet that goes around the country to map roads too. It doesn't necessarily have to be for the cars they are producing for the masses.

Running on all cylinders is a common metaphor most people know, it's car related, and they are aiming for a general audience. Don't forget there is still a large portion of the population who know absolutely nothing about EVs. We still have people who think you need to switch the battery every 2...
