After sitting in a BMW, I am reminded how much worse a Tesla's interior is. It's Toyota Corolla levels of basic if it wasn't for the infotainment.

Depends on your needs. Do you need the room or the towing ability of an R1S or can you substitute all your needs to an R2? Is there a money or time component to waiting for a Gen3? I don't think Gen 3 will be coming out at least until R3 is released.

I would also be interested in how much these tailgate scoops help drag and efficiency.

Agreed. Before I chose the Rivian, I was cross shopping it to the EX90. On paper and in the small video clips we had of it, it looks great. Then it was delayed again, and then the horror stories of the SW/infotainment came out from owners that lived with it. I cancelled my EX90 reservation after...

Well here's to hoping BMW stops retrofitting ICE vehicles for electric use. I took 2026 BMW I5 for a drive and the interior is gorgeous and quiet. Spirited driving is fun and the Hans Zimmer iconic sounds was fun to hear. But clearly still not designed from the ground up as EV. The transmission...

Just cross shopping a Toyota 4Runner at the 58k price. And this is the 68k TRD Pro version

Agreed on the SW being the bottleneck. I think it will be another 3-5 years. By then current HW is obsolete and people will complain about being left behind, but that's tech. Unless Rivian changes course and allows you to upgrade then people will always have to debate when is the right time for...

Yeah I don't need an AI to tell my that in cabin temperature is too hot or cold. Autonomy+ as it is currently being marketed for UHF driving and whatever other features being announced as driving aids is what would make not paying $50/month attractive.

Yeah I've been thinking about that. They mentioned that lidar was more for increasing their collection of data, but it doesn't seem like that's the only thing they would use it for in regards to ADAS/Full Autonomy.

Pricing just got leaked. Launch Edition is 58k.

58k for LE (AWD, 330~ range, 600~ HP, tow package) with lifetime Autonomy+ is so tempting.

And here is the screenshot of the article that someone saved.

Sorry for the loss of your vehicle. Hopefully no lingering health problems or issues with making you whole.

It's a computer on wheels. I had a minor issue of Apple Music suddenly stops playing a track after resuming a song from a previous drive. Then I realized I forgot to reboot after the update. So far so good after the reboot.

After years of lurking on tire threads here, I've also narrowed it down to those two. I have less than 15k on my 20ATs and I've been looking for an excuse to replace them. As someone that has grown up through Bay Area car culture (pre Fast & Furious crap) Michelin's were usually my go to in all...

Foam party!

TLDR: it's a Rivian. https://www.cbsnews.com/sacramento/news/gavin-newsom-gets-tesla-rival-rivian-new-vehicle/

I'm interested in trying the one Rivian has in their gear shop, but so far the Koch Chemie Leather Star paired with their All around surface cleaner have been working great for me. After that 303 Aerospace to UV protect the plastic bits.

General rule of thumb, more tire/sidewall and you usually have a more comfortable ride.

It's been a while, but I remember there were a few bugs when signing in with the Apple update. I'm also on an Android phone with an existing Apple Music sub prior to the Rivian implementation. Try signing out of Apple Music on your Android phone that you will be signing in with the QR code...
