They have that now in the latest chinese EVs from two different companies. So its really how long it takes that battery technology to make it to the USA. But I'm hopeful it'll be in the next EV I buy.

Honestly, I'm hoping gen3 comes with one of the new battery technologies that the chinese EV's have started getting. Under 10 minutes for 400 miles of range sounds amazing, or almost 650 miles of range from a full pack sounds like a great fit for the Rivian. But yeah - gen3 should probably be...

Probably till I pick up an R3X. Then i'll evaluate if it becomes a sometimes-utility vehicle or a trade-in. Though I suppose if a Gen3 R1T came out with updated battery chemistry (likely solid state), I'm enough of a tech nerd that might lure to that instead.

You need to remember that AI knows nothing. It is just doing predictive generation based on probabilities calculated on what its seen before. And because it is doing things probabilistically, it won't reliably generate the same answer. But its really good at generating things that sound real...

Green is one of my favorite colors on cars, but I'm not a fan of that green. It feels to much like its another shade of gray, that will just blend in to the sea of boring gray/tan/beige cars of the world. I wish they'd picked something more unique.

Honestly, I don't care about net assembly time. Its not a meaningful number. All it really tells me is how parallelizable the process is. A number I'm curious about is "total assembly time if everything was done serially". (Mostly because that is likely a measure of complexity and...

In the video, the owner did mention he'd spent 3 hours digging himself out before he called them. So I think he had gear, but just couldn't get himself moving enough to start floating on the sand.

Honestly, I feel like the biggest source of chaos & risk for Rivian at the moment is the current administration. Trump is actively hostile towards EV's and has started closing down charging stations. Musk is getting contracts for Tesla but definitely not being an EV champion and has been...

Watching that, I kept feeling like the CEO was covering things up. Like any time Jay asked for a spec, he chose the model that gave the best result. So if you wanted a model that can go 500 miles and have a 0-60 in 3-seconds, neither model could do that. If you wanted a model that could tow...
