They R2’s rear window is a power window that “rolls down“ into the tailgate. and, inverting Tesla’s patented camera wiper design would put the wiper at the top of the dome and help mitigate debris from collecting in and around the wiper. I would not be surprised if Elon nicks the entire...

Well, this is a curious fan-boy post with a thesis that on the surface seems dubious, if not delusional. A venn diagram of the market for any Ferrari and that of Rivian would have a very small overlap. The premise suffers from the conceit that those who purchase Ferrari vehicles do so for the...

So actually, while the rear view camera in my R1T is the best rear view camera I have owned, it is susceptible to rain and dirt. I really think Rivian ought to employ the same rotating visor technology they use in televised auto racing to either clean continually or as needed. Yes, it's...

Well, FWIW, a better answer would be for Rivian just to please, please please install a nice standard moon roof we can tilt open, shade or slide open. Wouldn't that be nice? Do you think Rivian will do it without a lot of kicking and screaming?

As I predicted, this was entirely foreseeable. You can parse all you want, but the fact is, RJ himself touted a $45K R2 for ages and the public heard him. Now they hear the R2 is launching. What's does it cost? Way more than $45K. Foot, meet gun. But but but... Yeah, tell me some more...

There used to be an old joke about the threat of communism: The communists are going to hang the capitalists, and the capitalists will sell them the rope. Here we read in real time it's modern corollary: "Yes, yes, AI is going to destroy humanity, but am I going to get my share of the profits...

It's an interesting discussion. Generally I've learned via human history to temper my optimism and try to be more pragmatically realistic. I say that I'd like to be an optimist, but I doubt it would work out. ;) So here's some questions to ponder. Not long ago, at the advent of the...

Ever hear of the "great decoupling?" Since the 1970s, wage growth has significantly slowed, even as productivity and GDP has increased significantly (automation, technology, etc.) Why would adding even more technology bend the curve now? Who will buy the technology the machines build, and...

Just what the USA needs, a country full of factories that are union proof/wage stagnate/be fret of benefits and filled with complacent, mindless robotic slaves - every venture capitalist's wet dream.

Somehow, I find the voice a bit grating. There are plenty of soothing female voices in the broadcasting industry, I would be happy to source a dozen for you this afternoon.

I think if you listen to the interview, given to Bloomberg, whose audience is primarily targeted to investors/business, and take the tone and context into account, the question posed was regarding Rivian's vertical integration, in-house fab, the future roadmap and when "that" (vertical...

Wanted to give an update; the SC did not have the parts necessary to fix the driver's side window wind noise when I arrived back on Monday to retrieve the truck. But rather than wait an extra day or two, I elected to take my R1T home, and come back the following Monday and just wait a few hours...

Nope, because production realities. There will be kinks in production they will have to work out- that takes some weeks. I would be shocked, SHOCKED if the Lidar R2 enters production before 2027, and most likely a year from now, if then. There are plenty of potential customers who have zero...

So true, here in rural farm country, surrounded by F-250s, RAMs and Silverados, I often feel like my R1T is a compact.

Something like this perhaps?

Yes, I think you are exactly right, the R1 S does have better legroom in the second row overall than the R1T, if the third row is unoccupied. But if there are adults in the third row, that necessitates the second row sliding forward a bit and you basically have the same legroom as the R1T, maybe...

So, me giving Rivian nearly six figures wasn't enough? In the future, we'll pay monthly subscriptions for helpful life-saving features like Oxygen and potable water, once the legislation written by the lobbyists working for the oligarchs passes both houses and is signed into law. Found a...

Now that the R2 is available, I think a pretty easy path forward for Rivian is to offer the R1 S on the same platform as the R1 T so as to offer both expanded legroom and cargo space, especially for those people that need a viable third row to haul adult sized passengers. For those that never...

Imagine

I wrote that the R1S has about the same leg room as my T, but more accurately, it seems to have slightly more, although I didn't measure it, and it can vary depending on the front seat position. I know inside the R1T, if you have the front seats slid all the way back, it's almost impossible to...
