Indeed. Am I the only one who is so over AI? Remember, "Artificial Intelligence" could just as well (and more accurately) be described as "Artificial Stupidity". Why people behave as if it's reliable or authoritative is endlessly incredulous to me.
But so glad the OP has a happy ending. In...
I think my personal favorite is the Emerald, but I just bet something like the "Barbie" would do gangbusters as a limited edition, especially for the R2 or R3. Chick car? Oh yeah, baby girl!
OK, you asked for it, so here are some fun "color studies" for the R2, just to see what some suggestions made here might look like if the R2 tried them on.
Copper
Yellow
Orange
Brown
Emerald
Neon Green
Navy
"Barbie"
The last time I remember copper being a thing in the automotive world:
and if you are a certain age:
They say if you live long enough, everything comes 'round again. Are '70s earth tones having a moment? I used to rock some killer orange suede earth shoes.
The way I read the quote, and I could be wrong, is that they wanted to turn a launch color which by nature is reserved for a launch edition, into an “enduring pillar”, of the brand, or put another way, to turn a limited edition into an ongoing, recognizable option that is associated with the...
This is certainly frustrating. I have no ideas beyond what others here have suggested. Weren't computers supposed to make our lives easier?
For some levity, this reminds me of an old joke:
A chemist, mechanic, and software engineer got into their electrician friend's new car on a cold...
According to the linked article from Rivian, it is the same as Launch Green, but renamed. Seems the folks at the plant really liked the color of the primer coat, and thus, Launch, er, Rivian Green was born.
Green happens to be the color most people can perceive the most different shades of...
I agree a tan interior is very nice. Black is way too hot, think it is an insane color to get unless you live way up north or in PNW with limited sunlight. I got the grayish white interior which is better than black, but ehh.
Done well, Tan can be very luxurious, and with the Forest green...
Yeah, so I originally spec'd out an LA silver R1T last July, but, but, but -- it was going to be a 9-12 week estimated delivery, which risked loosing out on the $7500 incentive. Not only does silver do the best job of hiding dirt, it was "free"
So, Rivian calls and says like, we do have an...
Well, getting a gently used model is almost always the better deal from a purely financial perspective as you avoid the huge depreciation hit.
Some trade-offs you probably already know:
Gen 1 trucks will lack some technical refinements and are becoming more and more "left behind" in software...
I finally got the 2025.46.30 update installed early this morning, 17 January 2026, some 36 days after public release of 2025.46 (which I never received) but only 9 days after release of 2025.46.30.
Installing the digital key between my iPhone and Arjuan (my 2026 R1T) took two attempts; I...
Sounds like an app issue. You can try the service section of the app to report an issue, if it is working, you will get a virtual AI assistant to help troubleshoot and define the issue, then request a service ticket.
If it is not working, you will have to find a working telephone and call the...
The super-car-like acceleration is a real kick for a limited time, but then, if you're like me, once the thrill gets old and once you realize the life it takes out of your expensive tires, you'll wonder what else you could have done with that extra $5000.
Ditto on the high regen and the toll...
There are a number of EVs on the market, but only a few pick-up trucks. You will want to do your own research and decide which vehicle best meets your needs, but why did I pick the Rivian R1T?
At the time, there were basically three other candidates for an electric truck besides the Rivian...
Wonderful to hear Rivian is doing the right thing, even though I'm sure it cost them.
You wrote, " I had some wind noise that was a very minor nuisance."
You know, my R1T also has this annoying wind noise that sounds like it's coming from the upper front corner of my driver's side window, as...
