  1. Rival: 2026 BMW iX3 reviews are impressive... R2 has its work cut out

    No one has said it will be the same spec and the Premium vs Performance is the same equipment, just different suspension and more power. The BMW is lower spec (no glass roof, no rear heated seats or filled front seats) but then has much greater range and charging speed. So people can choose...
  2. Rivian Assistant is here!! (Update: not quite yet) (Update 2: it's here!!)

    That was my assumption to that this comes out with the new UX in early June in time for deliveries in late June.
  3. Rivian Assistant is here!! (Update: not quite yet) (Update 2: it's here!!)

    I have seen the demos from last year. What is it like for navigating, changing temperature, general speed of reaction?
  4. Only 2 Color Options For R2 Launch Edition?

    Plenty of discussion this past week on this forum and the overwhelming view from reviewers and others is all right colors are available at launch.
  5. Official Rivian Story: Austin Recap - SXSW 2026 R2, Rivian’s Roadhouse, Robots, and more!

    That is one of the wrapped vehicles from the event. Shame as I would like brighter colors too.
  6. 2027 BMW i3 EV revealed with 440 miles range

    ?? The reviews on the iX3 are on YouTube and accessible. Since the i3 is the same platform, batteries, motors and software then the expectation is that it is also top tier. An initial review is already out from a winter testing trip a few weeks ago. I am not in the market for this vehicle and...
  7. 2027 BMW i3 EV revealed with 440 miles range

    iX3 was also impressive in real life from multiple reviews, no reason to think the i3 will not be similarly well received in person.
  8. 2027 BMW i3 EV revealed with 440 miles range

    I saw a video with the autonomous driving capability of the iX3 which was an advanced L2 system. Is that included in the price? If so that helps close the price gap.
  9. R2 Executive Interviews - Software, Future, Design: RJ Scaringe, Wassym Bensaid, Jeff Hammoud (by Out of Spec Kyle)

    Yes a good interview, although I do like the crowd source questions asked in the other recent interview.
  10. R2 Executive Interviews - Software, Future, Design: RJ Scaringe, Wassym Bensaid, Jeff Hammoud (by Out of Spec Kyle)

    Will check this out. To be fair he goes on a lot of interviews and this recent one was great about autonomy and R2
  11. R2 Frunk height for manual closing?

    Maybe a cost cut and it works for 95% of normal sized people. I am sure some after market change could be made if it doesn’t make it to production.
  12. Washington state approves Rivian direct sales to consumers

    I had hoped Rivian could open in Pittsburgh and cover the western part of the state.
  13. R2 at LA Auto Show 2025 (photos & videos)

    The suspension is different - with semi active dampers in the performance. Therefore not just a software unlock like with the dual motor R1
  14. R2 buyers - will you wait for gen 3 hardware (including LiDAR)?

    I understand, but it has been clear in some communications that the infotainment chip stays the same. RAP1 (for those fearing to miss out I am sure RAP2 will be along in a few years!) is solely for autonomy.
  15. R2 buyers - will you wait for gen 3 hardware (including LiDAR)?

    The hardware you are talking about is for autonomy only. There won’t be hardware changes next year for infotainment, battery, motors, suspension, ultra wide band keyless operation, AI assistant etc. I understand the fear of missing out, I think about it too, but the difference will be high...
  16. Coastal Cloud Interior Not Available with R2 Launch Edition

    I agree with you. I wish we would keep Gen 3 to mean ADAS only (and this will go to R1 in time). There will not be a Gen 2 R2 for sometime since it isn’t out for another three months and the hardware, styling etc will not change for several years. Would be good if they used ADAS 2.0, 3.0 to...
  17. Rival: 2026 BMW iX3 reviews are impressive... R2 has its work cut out

    He is a good reviewer and more watchable than some others.
  18. Coastal Cloud Interior Not Available with R2 Launch Edition

    They would incur the extra cost of the included launch package items if they placed a hold rather than just sell what they have produced. Either way this will become clearer and having a proper configurator would help.
  19. Rivian teasing "so much more to come" with R2, implying tri-motor

    The droppable rear window was never expected to be on the $45k model. Reasonable people know some things like that, ventilated seats, range etc will be sacrifices to hit a low price point.
