There are vehicles in europe like this. I was involved in a crash with one. It slammed in the back of my vehicle. I cant begin to tell you the horrifying scene of the driver in that vehicle. A scene I will never forget.
A cute design or a death wish, you decide.
Had two R2's reserved. Cancelled both. My T is just too good, so thats one down. The other Ill wait for LiDar. No rush to get an early VIN, thats a time suck waiting to happen. Ill keep my T until Scout is released. Then get the Gen 2 R2.
Maybe because the launch is over. Now its time to focus on delivering the ambition. Different workforce configuration. Change of focus. Not surprising at all and a signal they are being strategic with cost allocation. Hard news but a good signal to the market.
Thought I was going crazy. Asked RA what the problem was, nothing. Fired up, chatGPT, gave me this exact diagnosis immediately. Reset everything and good to go again.
Ha â Swampnut accidentally nailed the problem with that comment. What he's describing is exactly where the eMTB market is today (and I say this as a SC Bullit owner, having come through Levo's, Norco, and others). It's a sophisticated, fast-moving, performance-driven segment.

This is about the cr4ppy dealership rather than anything to do with a SC. Book an apt with a SC and they will get you squared away. I had a few "moments" with my truck also. SC made it as good as new. Would be good to share the dealership so others are aware.
I actually agree RA is ahead of most OEM systems â especially with vehicle integration. That part is genuinely impressive.
My point is just that the benchmark has changed. Rivian markets itself as a software-first company, so people naturally compare RA to modern AI systems, not legacy car...
Just read through the thread and honestly, a lot of the criticism is valid â and pretty consistent with what Iâm experiencing too.
Whatâs frustrating is not that Rivian Assistant exists. Iâm genuinely happy they shipped it. The frustration is that it feels architecturally unfinished in a moment...
And so many examples of how this is gone, terribly wrong, Google, glass, Apple vision, the launch and learn approach, is always curious to me. Launch small and scale gradually wouldâve been a better approach.
So, itâs been a few days now with the memory option turned on. Well, there is some notable improvement, especially that I can now begin to train it on some basic preferences, but the latency is not useful, many requests still with no reply whatsoever, it doesnât work well if the passenger or...
Well⊠turns out you were right đ
Memory was disabled in the app the entire time. Enabled it and hopefully this will be better.
That said, I think this actually highlights the bigger UX issue: if memory is critical to making the assistant feel intelligent, it probably shouldnât be off by...
Thatâs actually the most fascinating part to me technically â the assistant clearly has latent awareness of conversational state, but the orchestration layer seems unable to reliably operationalize it into coherent behavior.
What you described is classic âcontext without agency.â The system...
I genuinely appreciate Rivian trying to bring AI into the vehicle experience. Thatâs ambitious. Thatâs forward-looking. Thatâs the kind of thing that makes you feel like youâre living in the future.
Unfortunately, after using Rivian Assistant for several days, I can confidently say the future...
