@OP very sorry about your situation. It is extremely frustrating to have something with all the tech that is on the R1 and then have it fail at the worst possible time, like in your situation. What is the point of these systems if you can't trust them to work when you need them the most? If...

Unreal! Very lucky it hit on the plastic mud flap/fender and that it didn't do serious damage.

He is on record pushing engineers to release versions that they didn't think were safe and he has lied about capabilities when doing demos in the past. I simply don't trust the tech. AP is different ballgame. Systems like AP that provide more limited driver assist (not driver replace) can be...

The very notion that something has FSD in the name but then you have to provide excuses for why it is inferior to some *new* version is absurd. "FSD" is and has been a complete scam filled with shifting dates and empty promises. I would never trust my loved ones to EM and his whims.

There are so many things I want to say, really badly, about the #1 thing Rivian has going for it that makes it better than Tesla Model anything, but I don't want to get banned....

0.) My heart says "NOW NOW NOW." My brain and past experience says wait for Gen 2 in 2028 1.) Either a Genesis GV60 Performance or BMW i3 sport.

The R3X has such Ford Pinto vibes it's not even funny. I mean that in the best way possible as that vehicle brings back so many memories. I think Dua Lipa should be pissed because Rivian completely stole the concept of "Future Nostalgia" from her.

I hear you. Hybrid powertrains are more efficient then there ICE counterparts. If that 22 mpg hybring is replacing a 13 mpg ICE it is still a step in the right direction.

I would have been amenable to extending the deadline to allow infrastructure to catch up since I don't think we are ready to ban ICE by the date specified in the CA regulation. Pearsonally, I'm sick to death of Oil and Gas getting $50B in explicit subsidies and $.75 Trillion in implicit...

Funny how perspectives change over time...

@OP - thank you for posting about your experience. What a nightmare this has been. You absolutely deserve better than this. You have been extremely patient and I'm sure everyone you are dealing with at Rivian is trying to do right by you but maybe the gloves need to come off a little. You...

So glad everyone was safe, that was the important part of all of this. Keeping my fingers crossed that you aren't totaled. Beautiful R1T. That limestone really is gorgeous.

There are scammers who are well documented on YouTube who try and cause accidents by cutting you off and stopping short so that you can rear-end them and then file an insurance claim and usually a medical claim that states they are unable to work. That is an extreme case that does happen. A...

I own RIVIAN. And when the R3/R3x comes out, I will own a Rivian. Look at it this way, you can add your post to the reasons you are unlikely to ever have people like you.

The CyberYuck™ is taking one for the team and usurping all of the previous R1 depreciation. So much so that Tesla refused to even accept them as trade-ins up until like yesterday...

I agree with this sentiment, but my concern is that the R2 likely won't be much better. That's because the process by which Rivian is attempting to save costs (much like Tesla) doesn't necessarily translate to repairability. If you look at cost cutting over time, the impetus is to reduce...

If a BMW, Audi or Lexus looked like the Rivian in the photo OP posted in terms of body damage, it would 100% not be totaled. Correct.

What's the damage on the Rivian? The OP inferred the Rivian is built like a tank and took minor damage relative to the pickup. It is hard to tell from the angle the OP provided but it looks iike bumper and tailgate damage, but not all that much from the angle we have. Certainly far less then...
