  1. Rival: EX60 Configurator opening this month

    I'll admit to becoming a bit enamored with the new EX60, but pricing a P10 with the options I need want pushes the total cost to $79k. Getting a little to rich for my blood.
  2. Rivian Assistant not accessing all my calendars?

    Rivian has publicly acknowledged that currently it can only sync with the primary account holders google calendar and not shared calendars - it's a permissions issue from what I've been told that they are/will continue to work with Google on while they also work top integrate more calendar like...
  3. Location of the 12v battery in the R2?

    As what traditional ICE vehicle? There are scores of cars with awful battery placement including the front wheel well, under fixed carpeting in the trunk, that you couldn't open when the battery was dead, The Q7 and Cayenne which required partially removing the front seat. My Fiat 500 was under...
  4. R2 Manual Releases on All Interior Doors, But…

    Didn't say there weren't - just offered up a couple of known drivers as to why some manufactures choose what they do. For the record, I'm opposed to electronic, at least solely electronic, door handles. I think it's an over-engineered potential point of failure and certainly a safety risk. If...
  5. R2 Manual Releases on All Interior Doors, But…

    But it's related - they weren't going to create a mechanical linkage tied to the inside handle if they didn't build one on the outside. One begat the other.
  6. R2 Manual Releases on All Interior Doors, But…

    Range, Range & Range + Perception. Aerodynamics: Traditional door handles create a surprising amount of drag and EV manufacturers are chasing every fraction of reducing CoD they can find. Weight: Mechanical linkages, rods, and cables running through the door add weight and constrain door...
  7. Confirmed: R2 reservation holders will be invited to configure orders in June

    As a much older than a millenial, gray is inevitable.
  8. R2 Wheels Options, Tire Sizes, Width, Offset - Hub Bore Size - 19" and 20"

    Normally that's true- but the case here is the 20's are all-terrain rubber compounds which matters (stickier/softer compounds, deeper and more complex tread blocks and more tread squirm, and stiffer sidewalls). And while I don't know for certain, I would expect that the 20" AT's are also...
  9. R2 Manual Releases on All Interior Doors, But…

    I read your comment earlier today and it really stuck with me and thought, "this HAS to be the reason..." and the indignation over not being able to open the doors manually never really manifested with 99% of driver's as they never used the child safety lock features. I'm in that group for sure...
  10. Rivian Assistant Makes Siri Look Overqualified

    I thought as well though some of Jose Castillo's recent posts infer otherwise. He says he's working on a piece re: RAP and AI.
  11. Rivian Assistant Makes Siri Look Overqualified

    No Rivian on the road currently has (nor ever will have) their upcoming RAP chip that comes along with the "205 GB/s of memory bandwidth that Senior VP of Electrical Hardware Vidya Rajagopalan described as key for AI applications." - Jose's article from this morning. It's maybe the one thing...
  12. Rival: EX60 Configurator opening this month

    All "insider" indications so far seem to indicate P12 availability in the US "after November 2026 - maybe Feb '27" and pricing starting above $70k. Fully-optioned plus destination and taxes, based on the P10 I spec'd (which w/tax and dest would be about $75K)- I could easily see P12 at @ 80-85k
  13. R2 Manual Releases on All Interior Doors, But…

    It's gonna take a change in federal/NHTSA law to mandate manual handles.
  14. Toyota ch-r

    I agree that's true for Toyota- not so much true for Lexus.
  15. Shared calendar in Rivian Assistant

    Perhaps using something like CalendarBridge? https://riviantrackr.com/news/how-to-use-rivian-assistants-google-calendar-integration-if-you-dont-have-google-calendar/
  16. What About That R2 Sunroof?

    I do wish R2 had the electrochromic glass as an option. C’est la vie.
  17. R2 Wheels Options, Tire Sizes, Width, Offset - Hub Bore Size - 19" and 20"

    There is literally only one 21” tire available, the Pirelli. There are a number of stock 20” options.
