The refreshed versions of both cars are honestly leagues better than what came before. I was more ambivalent to the old Y and 3 and can honestly endorse the new 3 and Y (specially the performance versions) if you can get past the baggage that comes with the company. The build quality of our new...

So your action item for the NHTSA is to tell Tesla to update their language on FSD and reel it back on the marketing? I'm genuinely asking to keep it constructive to the topic at hand. What would your suggestions be?

That is a different conversation. I wasn't defending the communication, just the product. Tesla can (and has) been sued for misleading claims on FSD. The article speaks to investigations regarding FSD's ability to handle certain situations and not alerting the driver on time. As for that...

I feel like this comes up every now and then and then nothing comes off it. Feel how you want about Tesla, they are paving the way for autonomous driving. Smart of Rivian to watch how things unfold for Tesla from a regulation standpoint while still planning their own path. A wait and see...

Interesting...so first with Lucid and now Rivian? Uber has money like that?

They actually talked about this in a recent interview. This was very much their goal when they first started. They wanted to be a supplier that also makes cars more than anything. However, what they found out very quickly, is that they would get interest but last minute the deal would fall...

Not much to say. I think they nailed it. The looks will grow on people over time as it always happens with BMW. The specs are on point. Hard to see this failing tbh, assuming the price isn't atrocious. I hope (and truly believe) this will succeed and likely push BMW to go full EV in the coming...

From a Tri? Nah. I don't see any tangible benefits outside of reliability concerns of the R1T and potentially better handling of the R2. You got range, powered trunk, gear tunnel, ascend interior, etc. Coming from a Gen 1? Then I'd see the argument. I have an LE R1S and am considering going to...

Yeah I mean anything out there is only whispers. I spend a lot of time in the showrooms (don't ask lol) but it sounds like at some point in April is when they will be arriving at the showrooms, so maybe sometime after that. With their other HQ here and a showroom at the Avalon in Alpharetta, I...

It has definitely been getting worse over the last 2 updates. It was flawless up until then. Since the one back in December, it started doing something similar with the profiles and of course having more issues with responsiveness and the door handles not popping out with me right next to the...

Just feels like they are calling it quits and enjoying one last lap at success. Long term thinking seems to be just about gone, not just for the auto industry, but society as a whole.

So I've come to the conclusion that it is for the better that they are not offering some kind of red or orange color. If they had, it would be impossible for me to have resisted ordering an R2 LE performance. I've come to the conclusion that I do not need a third row and have enjoyed driving...

Didn't make it that far, though I did see photos in the forum. This is more of a robotaxi idea rather the midsize, no? Can't foresee anyone too excited about this given how lukewarm reception to the Tesla robotaxi has been.

They announced investor day back in January, before the R2 launch date was announced. Timing just worked out that way. It would have been smart to show the midsize now to potentially grab some headlines with the R2, but somehow Lucid managed to do everything to look poorly anyway.

In theory (fast charging, efficiency, luxury touches), they make great cars. In reality, it was just like this presentation. All promises and not much to show for it, sadly. I do want them to succeed and follow them accordingly, but comparing how Rivian is handling the R2 versus whatever this...

Sounds like the author is speculating just like the rest of us. But very good speculating at that. Didn't think of a rebrand for the R1 lineup but standard, performance and RAD makes a lot of sense (like BMW has regular, M-models and full on M cars). I was personally excited for the R2 Tri...

I follow Lucid and the forums regularly. Tuned into the presentation and left halfway through. Production for end of 2026 with no prototype to show? Do they really think people are just going to get excited on specs and what others who have seen it said? Come on.

Going full conspiracy mode here. Stuff at SXSW starts around 9am ET, so since Rivian has a ton of stuff set up there, I'd imagine the website is set up to update at 9am. Less than an hour left to wait (hopefully).

Same. I'm refreshing the page every hour.
