I agree with this "educated guess." I also expect that by the time all this started to blow up for Tesla, they had already gone too far down the design, NTSA approvals, and supplier agreements to change course without a substantial release delay and a release date delay is serious money. I doubt...

Do you have a reliable source stating there will be a R2T? I own the R1T and would love to see an R2T, but to my knowledge, RJ has not confirmed its existence or plans to build one. He did hint that there would be R2 variants, but we're more likely to see an R2X be the next, possibly a souped-up...

Test drive a new or used R1 and decide for yourself. Yes, in many ways, Tesla is ahead of Rivian; they should be with more than a decade of head start and virtually no competition when they ramped up, but Rivian's pace in advancements is much faster, and they appear to be prioritizing safety...

Sorry to see that happen to you, but I'm glad that you shared so we could all see how well it faired. It looks like your beefy tow hitch hardware stopped the Tesla in its tracks. I hope you get your baby up and running soon.

While there's no harm in asking such a question, I suspect 99%+ of the forum members have no clue, and the few exec employees who might know aren't going to chime in. RJ has already clarified that both ramping up R2 production and autonomy are priorities. Yes, there might be an R2T, an R2X, an...

You're using it as intended, and it will be fine. I have mine similarly towards the edge on the passenger side; I take it off-road and high speeds on the highway, and it's been fine. You can observe some jiggling due to bumps in the camera, but that's true of any wheel clamp rack. I also have a...

No resale premium; the R1 & CT were able to do this as top-tier vehicles with a lot of hype behind them. The R2 is arguably a better deal than the R1, but not a better vehicle. I suspect that anyone willing to pay extra for an early R2 would prefer to purchase a Gen2 R1; I know I would. There's...

I haven't heard of a ride difference between dual and quad, but most owners have reported that Gen2 rides better than Gen1. The range difference between the motors is pretty small, but that max battery would give you a huge boost in range. I agree with you that performance is similarly great for...

I purchased used and recall that the dual max didn't come up much in my searches; in fact, not many max packs in Gen 1. I filtered out slippery dealers by asking for the out-the-door cost before I showed up, and learned which were trying to add $1000s in accessories not in their listed price...

Doesn't seem to be a big deal in the overall scheme of things; possibly replacing it with a newer and incompatible technology (ditching Qi) would be frustrating if it only delivers marginal gains. If MagSafe disappeared from phones today, Apple users would just buy MagSafe cases and keep using...

Sorry folks, Launch Green is the best color Rivian has ever released, full stop😊. @CosmicRivian, nice touch with the added blackout package and handmade Yeti. I plan to add blackout logos as well; that's a perfect upgrade paired with the black AT wheelset.

Great price; enjoy the ride. I don't know what you plan to do with it, but there are lots of third-party accessories in addition to those on the Rivian site. If you plan to go off-road or camp, there are lots to make it more glampy or technically capable. Explore these sites... evbase.com...

Everyone has the right to their own opinion, but at the time of purchase, did you not know that you were buying a first or second-generation vehicle from a new automaker, that they were selling online instead of through local dealerships, and that SCs were limited and still figuring things out...

That sounds like a software bug that should be reported if it turns on/off with zooming. I will share my own embarrassing experience, thinking I was smarter than the route planner. I kept trying to force it to stop at the Rivian charger at Sac REI because I knew it was there and had used it...

I second @Danfoss' concerns: both the thermoelectric cooler and the refrigeration-cycle cooler need to reject heat, and the frunk may be too small in volume and too well-insulated. It should work inside the cabin; the truck bed is probably a better spot for it if you really want that feature...

I'm still on my scorpions but have been researching a similar choice for range benefits. ignoring brands, I'd recommend that you switch from ATs to dedicated snow/all season tires, that change alone should get you range and lower noise from most brands with the removal of those side nubs/treads...

Respectfully, I'm not trying to offend anyone; I said you could build it, but there are big compromises, and I stand by that. There's a lot more engineering that needs to go into adding both a V6 ICE and a 92kW-hr battery pack. Yes, there's a website with specs listed today, but there was a page...

I don't disagree; the Volt was technically an EREV, but in my experience, the lines between EREV and PHEV are sometimes blurred/grey. My comments were specifically to the large SUV/Truck sector that was the subject of the original post, and I was aware of the now-discontinued Volt when I shared...

While the date on this cited article is only a few days old, this news on the delay was released months ago; here's a post on this same forum, but lots of YouTubers have shared info. It was sad news for me because Scout was making the only other truck that I was excited about...

I see a lot of mixed advice given. This does appear to be a low-risk issue, and I'd personally weigh the risk against how great the deal is. That does appear to be I see a lot of mixed advice given. This does appear to be a low-risk issue, and I'd personally weigh the risk against how great the...
