you take current issues and extrapolate future issues. Tesla would likely have improved because they would have fixed previous issues the cars would have had and a larger percentage of the car is model 3/Y Rivian's predicted reliability will go up if R2 is more reliable over time. The car...

In the U.S. they do not test headlight alignment. By all means, rivian could have headlight alignment issues too in most states I've lived in they have never inspected my car for anything other than emissions The difference is rivian does not have any user software to adjust this. You need a...

This is not a build quality issue in that it takes a couple of minutes to fix and it is a software issue fixable by the end user. This is not the same thing as building a defective car

Bullshit excuse? A software fix is a bullshit excuse? Germany has strict testing requirements. Are we making excuses as why a rivian R1S or R1T would not get 5 stars on the Euro NCAP test? of course not

Again if you dig into this the defect was for misaligned headlights. Tesla is loose with alignment because they'd rather fix it later than slow down production The other issue is rust from use of regenerative braking. Tesla has a brake burnishing walkthrough in the "hidden" service menu. They...

model 3/Y refresh are not noisy Which will eventually represent a larger percentage of their vehicles The ride quality is not bouncy and never was. It was only stiff before. Bouncy ride quality was the mach-e which became unsettled after a jolt and would start bouncing around. Supposedly they...

it's this car hiding in plain sight. It has steering and pedals and they drive it around.

That report is because in germany they check headlight alignment. Tesla is lax with headlight alignment from the factory because they'd rather fix it after the fact

this is not robotaxi. It is a manually driven car. It will have steering wheel and pedals

Cybercab production line has been built already. They are arguably further along than R2. They have been giving tours of the production line for months and the progress has been documented by over a year by joe tegtmeyer who flies his drone around Giga Texas. It is a manually driven car because...

Has rivian mass produced a car before? No. They also have not had years to iron out issues with said mass produced car. They will be making shitty cars for a while The cybercab is a different car entirely as it uses all future technology. Steer by wire, brake by wire, plastic panels, unboxed...

Well rivian makes shitty cars as their only cars. Don't see your point

We are talking about vehicle brands ranked by reliability. If we look at all tesla models, the least reliable models are S/X/Cybertruck. Guess how many of those they sell a year. Not many. And if the cybercab releases in April 2026 as the drivable variant that has been leaked for months, this...

We are referring to model 3/Y which are 97% of their vehicle sales

Tesla vehicles are also less than 5 years old, aka under warranty. The difference is that you don't bring them into service because there are both no issues and the cars have lithium-ion low voltage battery packs. They design the cars around having low service intervals.

The answer is obvious but you're too blind to see it. The answer is that rivian ranks high in ownership cost which is skewed by the fact that the cars are within warranty and everything is fixed for free. When you have a car that is last in predicted reliability, the ownership cost will greatly...

yes and under that I get that rivian is losing money on every car. -8.8% margin

It is a top down view of your car. It is a direct top down view that shows your car in relationship to the parking lines and all the cars around you

What is rivian's gross margin? Or are you speculating? They'd share this number if it was good They have the equivalent feature there. It's called high fidelity park assist. Tesla's implementation is more difficult to implement and saves the company money.

Tesla does offer something called high fidelity park assist. It shows all curbs and cars around and visualizes the parking lines from an overhead view. The reason they don't have the overhead camera view is it requires a downward facing camera from the side mirrors. Tesla sees this as wasteful...
