I might be wrong actually since I double checked and I couldn't find that it's required to be equalized. It's required to be disclosed on the Monroney sticker. Looks like the whole industry adopted equalized pricing so that some dealers don't have advantage over another by distance. EV...

Some software like Rivian Assistant is delayed for R2 since it's entirely new hardware. Here's a recent quote from RivianTrackr:

Interest tax deduction should be ignored from the perspective of buying a new car as the benefit is too small. It's just some paperwork to be filed with your taxes to get a small amount of money. Hopefully more people figure this out. There's also a few pages in this thread that dissect the...

All new hardware. Infotainment isn't the same. Exterior cameras are not the same. Pet mode interior camera isn't the same. etc etc. Hopefully less traumatic over time as the hardware and software matures. At least for R2, it makes sense to me why there's a lag. Or even why the software on R2...

Timing issue. If the Gen 3 compute and lidar availability date can't change, then what's your only choice? Delay R2 six months for only that reason? So no choice really but to do this. At least they told us Gen 3 is coming which is surprisingly transparent and honest. There is another car...

Hard to say, in-house RAP1 means they stop paying the nvidia tax for autonomy.

That's a 2027 problem for Rivian when they need to keep production at maximum with sustained high volume production. 2026 is limited production due to a ramp up. Why would Rivian incentivize cars in 2026 with that scenario?

What's the missed opportunity? If Rivian is offering it, it means some people will take the current lease structure at this premium. Everyone else who wants a lease deal can just wait for that to happen eventually. Rivian isn't trying to bleed money unnecessarily when there is obviously...

Doesn't really matter in this case as the interest deduction is not a tax credit anyways so the savings are very minimal. Strangely, this is the third time in the last 24 hours where I've seen people post wrong information about this interest deduction on social media for R2 purchases. People...

Was about to say the same. Since it's a deduction, you save a portion of that interest so maybe $1k total in savings after 2 years. It's worth declaring on your taxes, but it's nothing like the $7500 EV tax credit last year.

Nope. You're just one of the lucky customers later in the reservation que that they are randomly sampling for interest so they can give more accurate timelines for everyone in line.

They just got the cars delivered at the demo centers so employees are still getting familiar with the details. Give them a couple weeks to absorb all the info. I wouldn't expect perfect information from employees at this early stage in test drives and deliveries. It will steadily get better.

This makes no sense. R2 wasn't designed to take sales from $100k vehicles. It was benchmarked against Model Y. This would be like saying Model Y owners are regularly cross shopping R1S. It shouldn't be surprising that owners of $100k cars don't universally love the R2. If anything...

I missed the details on the NPR discussion. There's no NPR app to stream on the phone? or an NPR app that Rivian could install natively? Someone mentioned the TuneIn app on Rivian?

Audio reviews have been interesting. I think I saw one that said everything was perfect except zero bass and it need an aftermarket subwoofer. Hard to know what to believe anymore on the audio. 🤣

I'm not taking a stance on good or bad third party options. R2 is already here so people are going to try different solutions whether it's great or not. We're about to see a lot of real world testing in a lot of environments. R2 will have more sales than Model 3/Y Standard where they also...

The majority of us who have a good cell coverage will probably be able to figure out something that works for us. For the people who have poor cell coverage in rural/remote areas, they might have to do a portable bluetooth radio.

Your rebuttal here amounts to me taking your word and your reliance on a chatbot in coming up with this info. I've caught chatbots too many times in mistakes with complex topics to take that at face value. I am very unconvinced that a massive electrical architecture change from 400v to 800v...
