Since R2 is estimated to be a ton (2klbs) lighter than R1, it should be lot more fun to drive than the R1. Additionally, the unitized body over the body-on-frame architecture should provide stiffer chassis inspire of 5k lbs that R2 weighs. I guess from my perspective, all vehicles have their...

Since I own an early Model 3, Tesla constantly sends me invites to test drive all their offerings with FSD. I have taken some demo drives with the latest MY with FSD Both of my neighbors on either side, have FSD enabled vehicles. They tell me how great it is, especially on traffic filled...

I guess I've been driving so long that I can do both at the same time. I can shift my attention over different matters on a constant basis. I don't rubberneck something I missed - I don't care. I guess it's my life long enjoyment in driving. As a kid, I raced go-karts and motocross, as a...

Agreed. I don't see it as stoplight to stoplight and watching lines. It's a journey, albeit in traffic. There are always things to observe and new things to see that I didn't noticed before.

I get your point. There are lots of weaknesses in the Rivian ecosystem. Sorry you have had tough time of it. In 2.5yrs/38k miles experience with gen 1 R1S, my interactions with the SCs have been very limited (2 visits and 2 mobile services including the 12v and knuckle tighten). I guess...

I do not use any ADAS. I rarely use cruise control. I like driving. If I want to be a passenger in the vehicle, I'll have my wife drive. She likes driving too, although she uses the cruise control more often. The way I think about any self driving vehicle is that by the time I need it due...

How to move forward or backwards less than a foot. The throttle is not sensitive enough at the null position to feather the power very slightly. it ends up being jerky motion. Need free roll before going on stop hold under 5mph.

Appreciate your comment and the take. The point I was making is that for any given vehicle, similar repair should not depend on the original cost of the vehicle. There were comments made that because the price of vehicles, as the reason for repairs cost more (true statement as I originally...

True. That said, if one thinks about it, the labor to fix $30K vehicle is the same is fixing $200K vehicle, in terms of removing a dent. What is different is the parts costs and paint process. Frankly, shops charge more for expensive vehicles because they can. Its all the processes, prep and...

So many reviews talks about the volume in term of ft^3 or liters without any discussion of the form factor. So many CUV/SUV nowadays have coupe style slope back that loses practical usability. My wife is a big fan of two-box SUV and that's the primary reason why we own R1S. Since the R1S is...

Every time Elon gets brought up, the thread goes to $hit and doesn't comeback to the original subject. Do you own a Tesla and are you or are you not trading in for R2?

Reportedly Tesla is developing something way cooler than a minivan and an entry level low cost EV on a new platform. https://www.reuters.com/business/autos-transportation/tesla-is-developing-new-smaller-cheaper-ev-sources-say-2026-04-09/ If you search the subject, there are lots of videos...

I am not trading my Model 3 for R2. While I wish of a big success for R2, we already have a R1S G1 Quad and do not need another Rivian. My Model 3 is going to be replaced with a 4 door grand tourer, not a SUV

Well, since you put in these simple terms, there are so much more to supercars but its socially incorrect to say these days and we all know what they are so there's that :)

What you say is, process aside, being able to buy the vehicle at a agreed to price without any haggling at a lower price. I have used Costco auto program where the vehicle is essentially at the dealer invoice and all interfaces are done via fleet manager. No haggling whatsoever. I even...

There is a retrieve option: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09SZNWYD9/?coliid=I32WT168EFO8J8&colid=3ME3TRSRSI9CJ&ref_=list_c_wl_lv_ov_lig_dp_it&th=1

One day, someday, we'll get past this monochromic color palette. Did we really needed another shade of gray???? Red Canyon anyone???? How about something completely different - dare I say golden brown or quartz green or orange??

R2 is almost the exact size as the Chevy Equinox. Bit wider but not much.

Now that's a poor man's rear spoiler!!!

For most people who own any 2 seater sports car, regardless of make or model that costs low (e.g., Miata) or high (e.g., Ferrari), it is not the only vehicle the person uses. Still, some people do drive it as their daily driver. There is a misconception that all exotic cars need to be...
