I agree that the underlying technology shows some promise, but I would argue, as I am sure Tesla's engineers have in meetings, that overall reliability and safety would be greatly enhanced with additional sensor inputs such as Lidar, Radar, Sonar, Infrared, etc, rather than rely solely on visual...

Tesla will likely settle before trial, as it has done in the numerous wrongful death cases, so as to avoid further public scrutiny, establish legal liability and risk limiting legislation. While the consumer frustration with Elon's fraudulent technology claims are understandable, the hundreds...

Hmmm. Looks like it has a lot of functionality, but doesn’t look as ergonomically sophisticated as designs from a decade or earlier ago. I wonder if this is a case of new designers and new engineers doing something fairly quickly without really researching earlier designs and trying to...

You know, I hate that I "know" this, but I am sure it's no accident, and so are you. It's a conscious marketing decision by Rivian to continue to position the brand as "upscale" because for whatever reason, many equate whatever we associate with "British" with attributes of class and old money...

Can we be real for one minute and reflect on the absurdity of our OCD in colors? I mean, I am grateful that I am not color blind (comparing my perception of the EMS to the Human mean, that is) and I have a deep and abiding appreciation, even love, for the many subtle nuances of color and...

Because Internet.

I love that I never have to put gasoline in the fuel tank, or oil in the crank case, or adjust the gap in the spark plugs, or change the filter on the carburetor, or check the distributor cap for moisture, or do a compression check, or adjust the timing, or check the alternator belt, or tap the...

Acceleration is not nothing, but for me, the real kick in driving is cornering, which is why my beloved RX-7 remains my favorite car I ever owned (not driven, but owned) Having written that, it is also true that no pickup I have ever owned or driven has the performance in both acceleration and...

Goin’ Campin’

I must say, that's a grape color! (Ok, that's the dad joke for day, now back to your regularly scheduled internet)

I don't understand the thirst for Rivian texting. I mean, I have my iPhone right here next to me, and I can always say, "Hey Siri, send a message to so-and-so" or "Hey Siri, read my last message." What am I missing?

I look forward to scanning kiosks and their growing proliferation. No need to chit chat with cashiers, just swipe and go with no awkward human interaction. I look forward to robocalls and the efficiency and profits they promise. No need to explain to a human the unique circumstances of my...

So, if I move the seat forward, the seat slides forward, but the rails stay in place; they do not cover the nut. I may just use some handy gaff tape to cover it so dirt, etc. does not fall down into the well. I thought there may have been a plastic cap to cover it, as there is on the outboard...

I noticed some exposed nuts at the base of my front seats on the inboard side. The outboard sides are covered in some sort of plastic cap. I’ve included some pictures looking down on the floor in front of the front seats. Is everyone’s R1 configured this way? It seems those wells would collect...

I had the coolest idea for wipers way back when I was in High School: put the squirters on the wiper arms! That way, the whole windshield gets wet instead of just two spots. Then, just a few years later, GM actually did it on a few models. Don't hardly see it anywhere anymore though. I...

Short answer, wanted an EV, preferably a Truck or SUV. Was initially impressed with the Cybertruck at reveal, but disappointing specs and many issues eventually made that choice much harder -- Elon's turn towards Bond villainy killed Tesla's chances of earning any of my money. Rivian was the...

Well, from his perspective, it might very well be the "worst truck ever" he has had, no? I mean, I get the post and the lack of initial details might rub the wrong way, we might even go so far as to call the post immature, or at least unconsidered - and that is not an unreasonable assessment...

I completely agree with the OP, and can easily understand his frustration. Granted, the initial post was pure emotional outburst rather than informational analysis, but that is predicable human reaction to an alarming situation involving a substantial purchase. And, no two ways about it, it's...

So, if I understand the concerns expressed, some are concerned that the R2 may not have enough interior space in various places (frunk, leg room, head room, tail gate, cargo, etc.), but are also concerned that the R1S is too large, too expensive, too tall, and too long to fit in their garage...

I suspect the most likely scenario where the current gas situation will influence a buying decision is one in which the potential buyer is already in the market for a new vehicle, and has already contemplated going electric for a number of reasons. This might be an extra nudge. For the average...
