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.

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?
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...
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.
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:

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.

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...
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...
