I think that is a per vehicle cost. There is no reason to believe that developing an 800V would have been more expensive. If you are saying that it will be costly and difficult to rectify this mistake then 100% agree. But mark my words, when Tesla finally upgrades at the end of 2027 to stay...
I agree with you that some of the money saving choices Rivian has made leave me scratching my head. For example I asked Gemini to do a bottom up build on the total cost of having an 800V architecture vs a 400V architecture. Total savings: $400. Four hundred dollars!
Each of us must decide if...
I do not care one way or another, but this is just a $25 problem isn't it? Am/FM rechargeable, usb with bluetooth output. (I am sure one of many)

Yes and range. Not sure yet. Will hold R1 for now. iX3, EX60 are top contenders. Patience is rewarded at the moment. And not like you lose anything by cancelling reservation. Within a couple months Rivian will have more cars than buyers just like everyone else.
I did not subscribe on my wife's gen 2 and she did not even notice for the first two weeks. Then she asked why it was not changing lanes by itself (the only thing she lost). So I told her we can add it back for $50 a month anytime. She then offered an expletive followed by the word "no."
When...
I think the confusion stems from the OP's use of FSD. Like the rest of the industry, Rivian does not use Tesla made-up nonsense marketing language like FSD (Supervised) aka "Tesla Assisted Driving" in China. Rivian follows the standard SAE nomenclature. So...
1) If by FSD you mean the Tesla HW3...
First, congratulations! Very exciting.
And now I will do the I told you so dance

I did not see in your methodology what the conversion rate is (reservation to order). I see the launch but not the overall conversion. At the highest end that would be 50%. The F150 Lightning was about 15%. The Cybertruck was less than 5%. There are two ways to think about conversion but for...
All it takes is a small and purely coincidental and not at all connected but completely independent business deal with Erik, Jr., or Jarrod (did I mention it would be totally coincidental?).
So you do not have to watch a video Jose's instructions :
Settings->Data and Privacy ->Precise Location Sharing -> Navigation Toggle off then on (repeat for Driver Assistance features for good measure).
I think this is about right
Rivian R2: 9.6 inches (fixed).
Jeep Recon EV: 9.1 inches (fixed)*.
Audi Q6 e-tron: Up to 9.0 inches (with optional adaptive air suspension).
Polestar 3: Up to 8.3 inches (with standard air suspension set to maximum height)
Subaru Trailseeker (2026): 8.5 inches...
I've often said that disputing EV myths and bullshit is a full time job. But the same has to be said about the pro-Tesla propaganda too
Fixed your typo
It is a little difficult to track. There are three most obvious examples of lying robotaxi (and FSD) videos
The "Paint It Black" Promotional Video
October 2016
Autonomy Day Demonstration
April 2019
Cybercab Reveal at Warner Bros. Studios
October 2024
When it comes to staged and faked...
Wow this is all pretty confusing. But I think I've got it. Bear with me while I paraphrase:
1) Elon Musk and Tesla set up fake viral videos to show they had a functioning robo-taxi and have lied repeatedly about it.
2) Some youtube guy I had never heard of until today named Mark Rober (what...
That is pretty funny, had not heard about this. So to summarize:
Elon Musk and Tesla set up a fake viral video to show they had a functioning robo-taxi and then this guy set up a fake viral video to show the Teslas would collide without LiDAR?
The liar lied about the other liar who was lying...
