Ugh. Why is this simple tech such an achilles heal for them

R1 Launch editions were being sold for a much longer time than 6-7 months

I hate these warranties that advertise a coverage period where a large part of it just overlays with the factory warranty. Also beware of the warranty term that won’t pay out for cumulative repair work above what they deem the vehicle’s current fair market value - especially on quickly...

Sad this guy has completely transformed into a super douche

I unfortunately needed a new windshields in my Y last month & can confirm the phantom windshield wiping even occurs on a pristine windshield

20” I’m not going to risk being out of use for a vehicle multiple days awaiting a tire shop to get an oddball size in stock. Even worse if im on an out of town trip. Those believing these 21” tires will suddenly become commonplace because R2 exists are deluding themselves.

Audio would be an area where I would be fine if they just 100% copied Tesla. Even the cheapest model 3 has fantastic sound.

Just thinking out loud here- would it be possible the entire recessed area is jackable (is that a word), and a square rubber pad could be used with an indentation for the smaller rectangle pictured for use with normal jacks?

Wait, are they really launching the R2 with the same 21” tire size that no one wanted on their R1 as the default option? 🤦‍♂️

The ‘thinking time’ is way longer than any other similiar type AI I’ve used

The ‘hey Tesla’ controls are ok at best (tbf they may have improved but I stopped trying to use awhile ago it as I just got annoyed) The only Grok integration I’ve noticed is with navigation, but I will also say it’s very...

Having used Grok & now the Rivian assistant - Rivian is better it on any vehicle controls, playing media, etc; Grok is better for navigation, getting info about stuff & is more conversational - it’s way faster too. Interesting that both companies picked a very similar default voice, not just...

I generally dislike green vehicles, but find Forest Green to look the sharpest on the R1S; on the flip side, Launch green looks the worst (to me)

Human advancement has always put certain people or even entire industries of people out of work.

This entire thread is about the existence of a factory alternative that is in the wild now

Bring it on - the more manufacturers in the US, especially in this space, the better

because used vehicle sales data exists

The M3 peaked with the E46

I dislike & avoid using EVs for road trips for that reason, but they’re better for all other normal driving

A comment from Feb 2025 saying that stock is going to just bounce around from $9-$14 for the next year seems spot on 🤷‍♂️
