I’ve never leased a car before but had been leaning towards doing it for R2 as a way to have one ASAP while being able to more easily move into a lidar-equipped one (and one with probably lots of kinks worked out) in a couple of years. At the very least I’ll be happy if the option is available...
NGL, I love sh*t like this. Little touches that are unique, and thoughtful, and playful, and, somehow make things just a little bit better just by being. Something that doesn't need to exist for any real reason but that make you smile because they do. It's a tiny little part of why my next...
When Rivian first came out, I was in the “ugly headlights” camp. Took me a long time to warm up to them. Now that I have, though, I think they‘re distinctive and extremely attractive. I’ll bet many others will come around as well once they become more common.
(And I love the way they give the...

FWIW, Atlanta Journal Constitution is now reporting it as a done deal.
I completely agree and I'm sure Rivian does as well. R1 will be their flagship models and, assuming they continue to develop and support them, will probably sell better than Tesla Model S / X (look at what a tiny percentage of sales S and X are for Tesla now).
But the future of the company is...
I got nothing against campers or camping. I just don't wanna do it. ;-)
I don't want to sleep on the ground. I don't want to sleep in a bag. I don't want to sleep in a tent. I don't want to poo in the woods. I don't want to deal with bugs. I don't want to have to build a fire. Etc. etc.
I've...
My Model S is way wider than any other car I've ever had, and it definitely took me a while to understand that. Curb rash is a real thing to be sure...
That would be nice. I’ve never had that feature in any car I’ve ever had. And my wife likes to remind me that I park like hot garbage so maybe that would improve my ability. ;-)
That's interesting to hear your perspective because mine is pretty much the exact opposite. I'm a long-time Tesla owner (bought my Model S in 2013) and not a Rivian owner yet but am anxiously awaiting the R2. For me, personally, a big part of the reason that I'm looking forward to R2 is that...
I guess personally I’ve driven a Tesla too long (11 years) for this to be a for this to be a concern for me anymore. There are knobs on the steering wheel and buttons that let me control the things I care most about having fast and easy access to. E.g. raising lowering volume, Raising and...
