  1. Mark Rober teases R2 modification

    both are true.... as someone who tried to be an honest Tesla fan engaged with the community on X for years, it got really old seeing both sides jsut say a bunch of stuff that wasn't true to make their voice heard. Part of why I quit using X was the Tesla/Elon fanboys are just too much. But man...
  2. AT&T brings 5G connectivity to Rivian R2

    I also stopped when they started charging for it. The video call was an internal test from SpaceX IIRC, not someone using T-mobile's public service. EDIT: Here's the video call article
  3. AT&T brings 5G connectivity to Rivian R2

    Considering they've had direct to phone Starlink for a while, and they showed it being good enough for video calls early on, it could happen already. But needing a clear view of the sky isn't ideal where I live. Of course, cell service can suck in some places thanks to mountains too.

    Thanks, I needed a laugh...
  5. Questions for people who have switched from Tesla to Rivian [ADMIN WARNING: NO POLITICS / NO ELON DISCUSSIONS]

    We got a 10,000 mile per year lease last summer on the Y because we usually take my Cybertruck if we go anywhere together. Our payments are $385/mo! Same build we got is now $614.
  6. Questions for people who have switched from Tesla to Rivian [ADMIN WARNING: NO POLITICS / NO ELON DISCUSSIONS]

    I’m so torn still. FSD is the ONLY thing holding me back. I could handle driving manually where I live. I have to anyway since FSD is almost never going the correct speed here. But when I go out of town especially long distance, FSD is a dream. I don’t have to know which lane to be in or where...

    You should ignore the pic in that thumbnail and watch that video. He makes that point fairly well with lots of sample videos.

    I like pre-2020 Elon still. I like everything he started. I just don’t like him at all anymore.
  9. Mark Rober teases R2 modification

    That image is the one most Elon haters love to post so it gets their attention to watch it. It’s actually not just about Elon but shows how he has changed over time.
  10. Mark Rober teases R2 modification

    All the issues I have with Elon are not "because he's a republican" .. "with different views". I like and even love plenty of people I disagree with politically. The things I can't stand about Elon also don't make me hate Tesla as a brand or hate my Cybertruck, but I also understand completely...

    I don't dislike him for it at all. I'm sure he was a little mislead by them, and we all do things for a payday that we might regret later.

    sure did backfire as they filed for bankruptcy in December
  13. Self driving update: Gen 2 and Gen 3 Autonomy on R2 should be similar for a "couple of years"

    The shareholder fans love this because everyone tiny bit they squeeze out is more profit and that matters more than having a good product as long as sales don’t drop significantly (they have dropped for the past couple years but that doesn’t matter because robots)
  14. Self driving update: Gen 2 and Gen 3 Autonomy on R2 should be similar for a "couple of years"

    Every time I want to park my Cybertruck in a tight place I wish I had some USS because the 3D rendering view is DEFINITELY not anywhere near as accurate for distance. It will show me as touching something when I still have a foot of space.
  15. Looks like the Main Stream Media is starting to wake up - and realize the R2 is a home run!

    Oh, there are plenty - think of pretty much everything from Nissan, Toyota, VW, Honda. None of them make me go “Wow” in a good way or bad way. I will say I think the new Prius is actually a nice looking car which is surprising since they’ve been historically so ugly.
  16. Self driving update: Gen 2 and Gen 3 Autonomy on R2 should be similar for a "couple of years"

    FYI I had this happen with Tesla FSD just a couple months ago. I don’t know how it’s completely preventable.
  17. Self driving update: Gen 2 and Gen 3 Autonomy on R2 should be similar for a "couple of years"

    I’m 5’9”. Unless there is a tool box or the truck is a low rider, no I cannot reach anything from the side of a pickup. I just climb up on the tailgate to get stuff out of the bed of any truck. Seems like a weird non issue to me. Even a Maverick would be hard to reach things in the middle for...
  18. Self driving update: Gen 2 and Gen 3 Autonomy on R2 should be similar for a "couple of years"

    That’s fine as long as you understand you’re basing it on not actually using it and just what you see on the internet 🙂
  19. Looks like the Main Stream Media is starting to wake up - and realize the R2 is a home run!

    Surprisingly my lifetime average over 15k miles (two winters) in my Cyberbeast is 400 Wh/mi (2.5 mi/kWh). I thought for sure it would be worse. I agree that R2 will probably surprise people considering its shape vs a Model Y
  20. Looks like the Main Stream Media is starting to wake up - and realize the R2 is a home run!

    I’m waiting for Kyle and Tom to do accurate testing of range. Everything else is noise.
