  1. Self driving update: Gen 2 and Gen 3 Autonomy on R2 should be similar for a "couple of years"

    Well... there's always a chance ;) " Global Average: Based on a global mortality rate of roughly 7.7–10 deaths per 1,000 people per year, the daily chance of you dying is about 0.002%. "
  2. Rivian water bottles now available in R2 colors

    Clicking through the colors - I don't think I see ANY of the new/unique for R2 colors? No Esker Silver,No Half Moon Gray, No Catalina.
  3. Ferrari Luce?????

    Marques got up close with the Luce. Not obvious from the pics but that entire front stretch of blue is a spoiler and the back a diffuser. Some very clever interior controls.
  4. R1S vs R2 = Tier 1 Luxury vs Entry Level EV?

    They actually used the word “inferior”? Somebody from Tesla snuck in to Rivian sales? sounds like somebody poorly trained and desperate to make a sale.
  5. Stellantis using Wayve for self driving

    https://www.businessinsider.com/wayve-tesla-full-self-driving-comparison-adas-2025-10 I have more faith in Wayve being successful to some degree than I have ever being relevant in the US... many if they squashed all 14 current brand into a few that can meaningfully be sold worldwide?
  6. R2 Standard Interior loses: ventilated seats, rear heated seats, torch flashlight

    Nonsense. Just simple manufacturing economics.
  7. R2 Standard Interior loses: ventilated seats, rear heated seats, torch flashlight

    And tiny startup Rivian should match the margins of one of the largest auto manufacturers in the world…
  8. R2 Standard Interior loses: ventilated seats, rear heated seats, torch flashlight

    well… duh. More expensive. More complicated. Nothing LOL about that.
  9. R2 audio system is being tuned with "amazing results" per Wassym

    I know that- I've Marantz and Paradigms at home ;) My point is - the cavity design and physical speakers matter. Car manufacturers cannot solely depend on voodooing their way to great audio simply through software. And if I do want to make audio the #1 priority, I should pony-up for something...
  10. Self driving update: Gen 2 and Gen 3 Autonomy on R2 should be similar for a "couple of years"

    James' quotes should make many feel like they do not need to wait for the LIDAR-included version of R2.
  11. R2 Heat Pump? Coming? Standard? Option?

    AC can have a very similar negative affect on gas mileage in an ICE car - just that most don't have a screen showing you your efficiency. On my Audi A6's I could turn the air on and off and watch the fuel efficiency metric slump almost immediately.
  12. R2 audio system is being tuned with "amazing results" per Wassym

    I agree with and get all of that - but in certain areas, I think it pays to "go outside" for a solution while they focus on the core needs. I think great audio is one to "leave to the experts" FWIW. One example of why the tech bro model breaks down: Iphones and Airpods. They could only tweak the...
  13. R2 audio system is being tuned with "amazing results" per Wassym

    This is verbatim the same thing he said around the time of SXSW. I know they’re a relatively small team, but sometimes things feel like aspects of the vehicle get into the customers’ hands when they’re still alpha, not even beta. Tuning a space and the audio for example. More-established...
