Can you watch on YouTube in a browser? The R2 page on the website says "Watch the Reveal" but doesn't say how. That seems like a fail. Do you just keep refreshing the page till a livestream shows up?

Pun intended?

Our VW ID4 has a retractable cover for the glass roof. Do the R1s not? We'll see about R2s today. Or are you saying that even with a cover, it allows too much heat in. We haven't had our ID4 in the summer yet, so I don't really know.

He’s not stuck, he’s just waiting for high tide.

Another CT total shutdown just posted at the CT owners forum. Instead of BSOD, they’re really RedSNoR — the red screen of no redundancy, forcing shut-down.

I think your post points the way for people like him - if he'd bought 2.5 in the first place, he'd still have one to drive, plus some spare parts to fix his own.

In this case the problem was falling interest rates. The rate at which customers showed any interest in their vehicles was falling fast.

If this is your scenario, then you can remove all the rest. Yes, if the R2 never comes into existence, Rivian dies. Not because of any impact on R1 sales, but just because the company can't survive even on double current R1 sales, and there's no one predicting that's going to happen. Rivian's...

In one of the threads I was referring to, someone asked whether this was the original poster. It was not, so apparently they've had two such incidents in the limited number of CTs they've delivered - with power steering and power brakes going out. The initial thread involved a garaged vehicle...

Maybe you could work out a drip-feed from the air conditioning condenser?

They may be ugly, but if you believe the CT Owners Forum, they also behave like late 90s PCs — blue screen of death popping up all the time. Guys with a full 72 miles on the odo trying to get their truck safely to a stop with steer by wire shutting down. I’d been skimming that forum every now...

I think you're going to be disappointed. I don't think mid-market car buyers are avid reservation-grabbers. I think they just buy a car.

What I really like is vegan walnuts and peanuts. You almost can’t tell the difference.

So they'll be focusing on a number of left-side steering countries and one right-side? Seems like a strange decision. How easy is it to reverse the relevant gear?

Except that half the vehicles sold as suvs are basically sedans, including all of the EV suvs except R1S.

If you commute more than 125 miles a day each way (4 hours / day), I'd save the $6,000 to be part of a downpayment on a house closer to where you work.

Whatever else people think, two months ago, you couldn't find an R1T under $80,750. Now, accounting for the tax credit, you can get one for $66,000. That's an incredible price change, and surely should unlock a big new market if Rivian has a way of finding them and marketing to them.

70 mph - 5 over the limit -- remains the norm on north-south interstates in Illinois. East-west is much faster, for whatever reason. It doesn't seem to be enforcement-related. Maybe it's just less long-distance traffic and the locals aren't in a hurry.

The melodrama here is amazing.

The people are the same. If EVs have more accidents, the problem is the system. ICE cars had many more, far worse accidents 40 years ago. The difference is definitely NOT that today's drivers are better! I don't think it's EVs, though. I think it's tech-laden cars with poor (or immature)...
