No driver screen because the information that would be represented there is being displayed on the lower portion of the windshield (presumably projected). I prefer a dedicated screen, but that is better than full reliance on a single screen in the center.

I'm a deeply selfish person when it comes to R3/X. That is what I am looking forward to (I have an R2 on reserve but really it is my placeholder for the R3/X). So from that perspective, I definitely want to see the Georgia facility happen because that realistically is the only chance to see...

Frankly, I was stunned that Rivian announced they were resuming construction of the Georgia factory. Financially, they are in a precarious position. Demand is going to be a problem in the near-term with incentives off the table and the economy facing major uncertainties and headwinds. If I...

Agree 100% that EA has improved significantly over the years. I spend a lot of at EA stations on road trips since one of my EVs (Genesis GV60) came with 3 years of L3 charging (unlimited 30 minute sessions) on the EA network. Genesis has had access to the Tesla network for some time now but I...

@OP - I'm sorry for your experience and everyone in this thread being dismissive needs to realize that Rivian continues to have serious QC issues and if they don't address them, it will ultimately kill the company. Demand is not high enough to be dismissive of these issues and paired with an...

Everyone is entitled to their own personal tastes, but holy batshit is that thing ugly. Forget "right to repair" - OP has a right to despair™ at making a fugly and expensive mistake.

Glad you and your family are safe. Very sorry to hear about your experience. Did you receive a warning of some sort that confirmed that there was a motor failure?

The are a range of alternative solutions but we've already made extraordinary investments and bets into electrification. There isn't a single alternative you mentioned, including e-fuels and hydrogen, that has even a fraction of the investment and momentum that electrification has for mass...

I'm motivated by pragmatics. I actually agree with RJ in that EREVs are ultimately a "throw-away" technology. Eventually, charging density and battery chemistry will usurp the advantages afforded in range and range anxiety that are alleviated by an EREV design. The problem is that given the...

You are completely underestimating the pyschology of the consumer. An EREV is an electric vehicle it just happens to have a small efficient ICE attached to it to serve the 10-20% use case of roadtrips and towing. An EREV also allows you to carry significantly less weight because you aren't...

I didn't watch that interview so thanks for the context. I don't think Rivian will ever develop an EREV but that doesn't stop them from partnering with VW (or someone else) to provide Rivian's technology and IP for the electrification piece of the EREV. Respectfully, I completely disagree...

"Cut-the-line Kyle" has that name because he got his hands on an R1T at pre-price hike pricing even though he didn't even have a reservation while most in here were still waiting for their turn in line with reservations. When he was trying to explain himself, he said he..." didn't get...

Pay the man! Cut-the-line Kyle mansplaining in a video that is 4 times as long as it needs to be doesn't float my boat, but everyone is free to waste use their time on this earth as they see fit.

Cut-the-Line-Kyle finally pays standard pricing for a Rivian? Hello brother from another mother. As a fellow Squatch, I'm 100% with you on stopping and stretching. People are obsessed with range, but as someone who has spent his entire adult life being crammed into cars, trains, planes, and...

I've been saying this all along - but if I were RJ I would be trying to explore and leverage strategic partnerships. It is the only way Rivian can survive in this climate. GM and Hyundai are a perfect example of what I am talking about and I had hoped early on that Rivian and Ford could have...

I've significantly reduced my position over the last 12 months but I'm not exiting my position entirely. I couldn't justify not investing in AI/Quantum stocks which have an absurd ROI right now in my larger portfolio. I am genuinely concerned about Rivian. They are facing extraordinary...

Pay the man!

That charging port needs a frunk magnet STAT!

The "Free Market" where we subsidize Oil and Gas to the tune of $50B in direct subsidies and nearly 1T in indirect subsidies every year even though they historically rake in record profits every year? Subsidies are critical to support mass adoption of new technologies that require heavy...

@OP - not much to add here other than you are handling this pretty well and better than I would. I hope you catch this scum bag. Karma is a bitch.
