While Travis is retreading common ground, I do think this is a better synthesis of all the what-if's around Gen 3, RAP1, LiDAR, R2 LE and should you wait or not.
I suspect he is correct about Gen3 hardware being well and fully clear of the LE timeline; otherwise, as I have said before, I cannot...
I'm in the process of getting estimates to install an L2 (likely Emporia) ahead of the R2's arrival this Fall.
My crazy garage has a total of just north of 50 outlets/sockets :p due to a previous owner using the garage as his workshop. There are four plug panels all over the walls, on the...

Now we're talking!
I miss my Fiat Prima when the 500 returned to the US - such a fun little car but useless in the winter potholes of Minnesota...
The Hues of Adventure: The inspiration behind the R2 color palette
New Rivian Story on the inspiration for the colors they chose. Nothing really new here other than imagery.
*In before the flaming reignites over "boring/monochrome/where the f is Canyon Red?!?"

For those who've had a Forest Green R1S/T for some time, how's it been to live with? Still like it? Pros/cons? Pics...

Many have commented that an R2 in Esker Silver has been largely invisible in all the recent press. I was rewatching Ginny's video from last November. Do we think this is Esker Silver? The video was November of 2025 when the talk was still of all seats folding flat and the nefarious grab handles...
