  1. Ferrari Luce?????

    I mean, it was designed by Jony Ive. The footprint of it looks like the Apple Magic Mouse to me. (Some AI silliness.) (Yeah, it made the car too big when flipping it over.)
  2. R2 Interior - Durable & Built for Real Life - Mess Test (Rivian Story)

    Yeah, food is… fine. Some food can be hard to clean. I want to see melted crayons on the back seat. Chinese food spilled between a front seat and the center console then forgotten about for a week. A candy bar dropped in the back seat, then kicked under the front seat in the Phoenix summer. A...
  3. Foamy Memory Foam Mattress for R2 by HEST | Sleep System Setup

    Well, the same thing for R1S is $359 per side, so $718 for the "full width" pair.
  4. R1S vs R2 = Tier 1 Luxury vs Entry Level EV?

    Nope. R1 is not "luxury". It's "very nice," but not "luxury." R2 is nearly identical interior quality. (From the twice I've gotten to see them.) And R2 isn't "entry level" - it's still "premium SUV" pricing. It ain't no Ford Escape or Toyota RAV4. Even the late-2027 "Standard small" starts at...
  5. Bumper step just saved my Rivian!

    Hrm, did OP delete things? Original post is empty other than the title, and I see no replies from OP, while others seem to be responding to now-gone replies.
  6. Bumper step just saved my Rivian!

    Heck, 25 years ago I had "the cheapest new car on the market" - a Hyundai Accent. I got rear-ended on the freeway in stop-and-go traffic at moderate speed by a Chevy S-10 pickup. The Chevy's front end was messed up. I had a minor dent and some paint transfer on my rear bumper.
  7. Are There Alternatives to Rivian Level2 Charger?

    Interesting. I don't know anyone with a non-Tesla NACS. Only J1172, CCS, or actual Teslas.
  8. Self driving update: Gen 2 and Gen 3 Autonomy on R2 should be similar for a "couple of years"

    Depending on your definition, "late 2020s" is already here. Now take your Advil and go get your colonoscopy.
  9. Are There Alternatives to Rivian Level2 Charger?

    That shouldn't happen. For AC charging (L1/L2) the spec is identical. Any adapter is literally just passing the pins straight through. I don't have any non-Tesla NACS vehicles to confirm, though. I do use mystery Tesla Gen 1 mobile cord on all my EVs with an adapter, though.
  10. Free Connect+ trial starts today! ... ?

    From what I'm seeing of reports on early RA, they *REALLY* should have waited for the bugs to get worked out before giving the free trial. :-D
  11. Why can't we lower the vehicle when in park?

    It always annoys me that some vehicle functions aren't available in reverse or with camera open - even when those controls are still visible! (You can't turn on window defog/defrost when in Reverse, even though the on-screen button is still there.)
  12. Will the R2 come with the option of the Darkout Package?

    R2 doesn't have the light accents like R1S, only the badges would be darkened.
  13. Why can't we lower the vehicle when in park?

    Joining the "Gen 1, I can use the Kneel button when in Park" brigade. Didn't even step on the brake pedal to "turn on" the truck.
  14. Questions for people who have switched from Tesla to Rivian [ADMIN WARNING: NO POLITICS / NO ELON DISCUSSIONS]

    FSD doesn't run on the infotainment CPU. Intel/AMD (even old Nvidia) do none of the FSD processing; they only draw the user interface for it. HW3 runs FSD compute on "twelve ARM Cortex-A72 CPUs operating at 2.6 GHz, two systolic arrays operating at 2 GHz and a Mali GPU operating at 1 GHz."
  15. Questions for people who have switched from Tesla to Rivian [ADMIN WARNING: NO POLITICS / NO ELON DISCUSSIONS]

    LOL. "Other than that, Mrs. Kennedy, how did you enjoy the show?" HW3 can be amazing at times, and infuriatingly dangerous at times. I never take my hands off the wheel. It regularly tries to drive me into a curb - at an entrance to a Supercharger. Of all the places, you'd think a place that...
  16. Questions for people who have switched from Tesla to Rivian [ADMIN WARNING: NO POLITICS / NO ELON DISCUSSIONS]

    FSD is only the head of the pack in the US, because we don't get any of the Chinese EVs. Yes, I have had two Teslas (2014 and 2016 Model S, the first pre-AP1, the second FSD.) My primary annoyances between them are based solely on having an old Tesla with grandfathered in "things that are now...
