  1. Too much adventuring - R1T stuck in mud

    It was a pool of mud about a foot deep. Kid slid in it and got stuck. Had folks winch us out
  2. Too much adventuring - R1T stuck in mud

    Kids doing kids things. Spring in the mountains= mud pools in low lying areas.
  3. Electrek - Tesla and SpaceX announce $25B ‘Terafab’ chip factory — here’s why it reeks of desperation

    Should succeed as much as the hyper loop or the many miles of tunnels with autonomous cars in them.
  4. WSJ: Tesla Faces Expanded U.S. Probe Over Self-Driving Performance in Poor Weather

    Good article on the dangers of great level 2 ADAS https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/2026/04/self-driving-car-technology-tesla-crash/686054/
  5. 2027 BMW i3 EV revealed with 440 miles range

    I have happily lived without either software. Tesla and Rivian have spoiled me with great software. Tried Android Auto in rental cars. It sucked.
  6. 2027 BMW i3 EV revealed with 440 miles range

    Makes sense. Definitely not for me then. That's my issue with legacy car makers. Hardware may be great but software is so so at best. Add the fun of buying through a dealer...
  7. 2027 BMW i3 EV revealed with 440 miles range

    I think it's cool. Interested in how well the software works and whether they will update regularly.
  8. What is semi-active suspension in the R2?

    My understanding is that a semi active suspension allows for a softer more comfortable suspension at low speeds while firming it up at higher speeds. Wish it was available on premium version.
  9. Trading in cars with Rivian is it worth it?

    Rivian trade in for our X was really low. Sold it for $5k more privately.
  10. 2026 R2 pricing, range & specs! $57,990 Performance Launch Edition / $53,990 Premium / $48,490 Standard / $45,000 Standard (Smaller Battery)

    Some people buy the quad motor R1 as well. That being said with 400hp, the base dual motor will feel plenty quick to most people.
  11. 2026 R2 pricing, range & specs! $57,990 Performance Launch Edition / $53,990 Premium / $48,490 Standard / $45,000 Standard (Smaller Battery)

    The best we can hope for is that multiple companies offer great point to point ADAS. It will no longer be a luxury and will simply become a cheap option.
  12. 2026 R2 pricing, range & specs! $57,990 Performance Launch Edition / $53,990 Premium / $48,490 Standard / $45,000 Standard (Smaller Battery)

    Hopefully it doesn't require performance upgrade. 600hp is fine on the heavier R1 but a bit much on the R2.
  13. Someone, talk me out of dumping my R1T

    I thought that 22 R1T had 2 12v batteries. On our EV they usually die every 3 years.
  14. What Actually Fails First in Real-World Rivian Ownership

    2 rear dampers and clutch disconnect replaced. 12v battery lasted 3 years. 1st gen PTC was changed to a new version. All under warranty. Shredded rear tire and pin stripes are my bad. Now scheduled an appointment for front axle noise and vibration under hard Regen. Love the truck.
  15. Rival: 2026 BMW iX3 reviews are impressive... R2 has its work cut out

    With all those new mid size SUV coming model Y is for sure losing its best selling car moniker in 2026
  16. Rival: 2026 BMW iX3 reviews are impressive... R2 has its work cut out

    The question is whether the BMW $60k price point is sufficiently equipped. When I see $60k BMW, I assume it will need another $10k in options to be properly equipped. Hope I am wrong. Of course, none of this takes into account dealership nonsense.
  17. Rival: 2026 BMW iX3 reviews are impressive... R2 has its work cut out

    You mean like subsidizing oil to no end? Made my point, back to BMW.
  18. Rival: 2026 BMW iX3 reviews are impressive... R2 has its work cut out

    Again, there was no direct federal mandate to force anyone to buy an EV.
