I highly recommend The Emporia Level 2 charger. Its rock solid. It hasn't failed even once to charge my R1T Quad.
When I bought it in 2023 it was the least expensive UL-certified charger out there. I would not get a non-UL certified product. The mobile app has tons of details and features as...
Might be great for hot climates like Arizona/Nevada if it blocks visible light but any data on how much heat it blocks?
Also interested in the difference it makes in audio. We all know the sound system in the R1 (non-Meridian) is mediocre at best.
While your post could use some editing to fix the grammar I understand your sentiment.
I too am concerned about Rivian service once the R2 starts hitting large production numbers. A lot of service centers are already backed up, it’ll only get worse with the R2. You’re kidding yourself if you...
From what I’ve heard it’s not the mounting points that don’t make it compatible, it’s the width of the vehicles. Even when you contract the R1 crossbars to its min, it’s still too wide to fit on the R2.
And yes previously they were saying it would be compatible. Which is odd, either nobody...
You really think Elmo is going to do that? I doubt it. He misleads, deceives and outright lies about a lot of things to inflate stock prices and sales. Over 18% of CT sales in Q4 2025 were to Spacex.
There is no way Tesla is going to spend all that money to build microfactories, pay for all the...
I can see that logic but once you've experienced eyes off, its pretty compelling and hard to go back to hands off, eyes on. Basically like riding in a Waymo but having to be in the drivers seat in case the vehicle needs you to take control.
R2 without LiDAR will not support eyes off.
These are absolutely employee vehicles. We have yet to see any R2 vehicles on the road that do not have manufacturer plates. Looks like we finally will now.
Although May the 4th would be a cool date to announce deliveries for real customer based on the Star Wars wraps we saw, I doubt that will...
20s all day.
Like you said, way more options - and that matters for long term cost of ownership and flexibility. There's a lot of R1 owners with 21s who wish they had gotten the 20s or 22s instead.
BTW, o one here has experience with the 20s vs 21s on the R2. Check back in 4-5 months once...
Have the same issue. I've asked Rivian to investigate and recalibrate but they said its within operating parameters and there was nothing to fix. I have no hard data to back this but I think it could be related to the issue of the camera being slightly off center the vehicle. Its also using...
I just learned that Rivian switched its battery chemistry (non-LFP) from NMC to NCA? Did anyone else know this? I recall them mentioning a change in packaging some time ago that helped improve range but had no idea it was more than that. Does the higher energy density explain the performance...
