To be fair, Rivian does not offer the option to turn off regen. Some brands are just stubborn like that.

I'm really sorry to hear that and can't blame you for wanting to jump ship. Unless you filed an insurance claim, you don't have to disclose anything - to my knowledge. I'd sell it to Carmax or Carvanna and move on if that is the route that you want to take. Not sure what your needs are, but...

I think the wildest part is that Rivian and RJ himself have made it very clear that this was made with the intention to compete against the Model Y. Size, range, pricing, etc. Ok, so the R2 is taller...ok? If it grabs crowds from 4Runners, Passports, Jeeps, etc, then even better. No one loses in...

Please babble on! Always nice to hear ownership experience of different vehicles. My rental was the most basic trim, black on black, zero options, which was very utilitarian but not very exciting to look at or be in. I had it for about 2 weeks (speaking of service issues with Rivian) and really...

Had this as a rental while my Rivian was at the shop. LOVED the range. I couldn't kill it no matter how much I drove it around. Unfortunately, don't have much praises beyond that. It is a behemoth for sure and when we got my R1S back, my wife (who is not a car person) was probably more excited...

Wait, hold on, can we talk about your efficiency for a second? Did you replace the body of your R1 with a Prius?

Didn't realize configurator was live. Priced mine around $130k, which isn't horrible considering how much Porsche is known for nickel and diming you. Funny enough my biggest issue would be to deal with the dealership network again. Ugh. Hate that I can't even use the estimator online because it...

I was going to respond as well but couldn't tell if he was trolling or being serious.

I don't see any malicious signs here. "Significant" can be like $5k, which would make sense given what we were previously told about the R2 vs R3. The R3 is smaller, it makes sense for it to be cheaper. Don't think is exactly new information. I think R2 and R3 people are going to be different...

That's stupid. So will they not valet Lambos or G-wagons? Seems like an odd reason given how many expensive cars are out there who would also want to use valet for convenience. I live in the south, but have had no issues with valets down here and I usually just give them the key card...

Don't foresee them starting now, as the whole VW group seems to be against it for some reason. Everything else this has going for it though, might be ok without it as much as I love OPD. This is a really good product as advertised and I hear Porsche is really spot on with range, so those figures...

I think its less they have no clue and more like they don't want to. A vehicle with these specs in 2025 is very much designed to fail. Look no further than the $65k price tag. At $40k, it could have been a conversation. At $65k, they don't even want anyone thinking about an R2 or Scout...

This is what exactly what this feels like. Self-sabotaging to spread the anti-EV sentiment amongst its base. I remember watching the reveal yesterday ready to dislike it, but aesthetically, I think they did a good job and was ready to praise Jeep for finally releasing a decent EV. All...

Having driven several EVs, I'd have to agree that Rivian's is the best calibrated, specially on Gen2 vehicles. I'd have the opposite experience in which every time I drive a Tesla, I find the OPD too strong but can get accustomed quickly. On the other side of the isle, the Mach-E borderline...

My R1S has been at the shop since October 28th, and I miss it so much. Praying I get it back today to be able to enjoy it this weekend. I put 20k+ miles in mine in a little over a year. I love driving it that much. It is also a favorite of our dog due to pet mode and how darn durable/easy to...

Rivian and RJ are stubborn, but with the R2 coming out and it being a more mass market vehicle, they might have to consider getting onboard just to stay competitive, specially if they can't point to Tesla anymore to be like "See! If you make good infotainment, no need for Carplay!" And they...

Didn't notice that either! I've been using shortcuts this whole time for the action button to get it to do that. That is very helpful! Thank you for sharing.

Rivian will certainly feel the pressure if Tesla offers Carplay. I personally prefer a well thought out infotainment over relying on Carplay, but with literally everyone else offering it, Rivian might have to cave.

Agreed. The 3 is nice and would have likely been a great offering at $20k less. It was going after the BMW iX and Macan EV, but without the brand pedigree, changing times, range or performance. Even amongst EVs, Polestar is expensive and I'm not sure what the pitch for them was. I was actually...

Can't say I'm shocked. I'm a huge fan of the Polestar 3, but its asking price combined with range and performance numbers are not competitive. Like at all. $90k for a fully loaded Polestar 3 gets you estimated 285 miles of range and 4.5s 0-60? They just don't bring anything new or enticing to...
