  1. I checked my email ___ times today

    Fortunately, the entire world is not Apple centric.
  2. I checked my email ___ times today

    In a culture (especially tech) moving quickly to a 4 day week, core hours and flex time, Tues becomes a common day to do things. Gives you time (Tues & Wed) so that your 3 day weekend is not impacted. Hopefully. Monday is still of course, "catch up from last week".
  3. Video: R2 owner demonstrating charging session at Tesla Supercharger

    An important difference to some people for sure. Honest question - Aren't the vast majority of chargers available nationwide 400v? And don't most sites that support 800v de-rate when multiple vehicles are present?
  4. Which one of you was this?

    Illustrating again how important it is to have all relevant information included in the prompt. The prompt assumes this is a boulder/rock. Interesting to think about as it relates to the trust we are giving AI and the people that use it to make much more important "arguments". A slightly...
  5. Which one of you was this?

    This thread demonstrates a AI threat not discussed often enough. AI or not, we have an AI expert telling us that this is AI. Have you considered that it could indeed be a "landscaping fake rock"? Which would weigh a fraction of a "real" boulder, but not be AI? Sometimes used to create the...
  6. Stick with solar brand for home charger?

    You describe it well - "mostly working". We appear to be getting closer to a system that can be programmed to set balance priorities while incorporating schedules for multiple devices. Using the EV(s) as system batteries (or not) in this scenario is key for me.
  7. 500-800 miles from Service Center......from those with Rivian experience....how risky will this be?

    Quite a few places in LA within 200 miles of Houston, right?
  8. RJ mentions R2 / R3 Variants, R4 / R5, etc. in R&T interview

    I think anyone that puts off a purchase of an R2 based on what will be the R3/R4/R5 years from now either 1) Doesn't really want one anyway; 2) Can't afford one; 3) Believes in waiting for the next computer that the tech bros promise is just around the corner will solve all their problems - so...
  9. Sad, but I think I’m out

    Isn't production around 20,000 vehicles in 2026? That's not a lot of vehicles. It seems to me, with "surviving" as the metric that they "start" where they have. But I do agree that they must adjust if demand waivers. They way they have modified lease rates on R1s suggests that they they not...
  10. When will V2L adapter pictured at R2 events be available for purchase?

    I can see why Rivian is developing their own V2H solution and look forward to it. I also understand that the company has to have priorities and that in the real world those change over time. But their solution being a year away is frustrating as it's been proven that even the 1st gen R1s...
  11. Early adopters who gave up on Rivian, RJ hopes you give Rivian another try

    The hostility you reference is indeed a much larger problem than Rivian and RJ acknowledge. Purchasers of the R2 will be even less accepting. And in context of not enough service centers? Out of touch and could even be suicidal. In contrast, the brand loyalty that Toyota enjoys with the Tacoma...
  12. Tesla promotes FSD misuse

    Doesn't the SpaceX IPO makes issues w/Tesla pretty irrelevant? A great number of small and very large investors have said, "Who cares? He's promising the moon". Ok, technically Mars; having been funded at crucial times by the government (NASA). Whatever; I take no pleasure in saying I'm glad...
  13. Rivian on Jimmy Kimmel :)

    To be fair, he did provide the minute and second of the reference. Easy to miss right above the video in the first post.
  14. Rivian on Jimmy Kimmel :)

    Although brand awareness would perhaps bring another, subtle layer to the comedy, I'm not certain it is critical to the humor. Seems to me that most people would infer "something valued and/or expensive" in the pool and therefore understand the most obvious thing. These kinds of patterns are...
  15. Rivian Assistant - Wish list

    I think you may be right about be gated by speed. But I can physically see and stop someone from touching the screen. I can’t stop someone in the back seat from speaking. And I can’t help the system discern my voice from an 8 year old girl.
  16. Rivian Assistant - Wish list

    Agreed; this would make sense as an incremental change.
  17. Rivian Assistant - Wish list

    Is it possible they won't do this until they develop the ability to identify users by voice print? I can imagine they wouldn't want a playful child to fold the mirrors while the driver was changing lanes at 75 in on a major metro freeway (for example).
  18. AT&T brings 5G connectivity to Rivian R2

    I'm not entirely sure how Rivian's contract with AT&T works. But multiple times I've been in places where I did not have service on my iPhone (ATT), but the R1T worked well if not great. Perhaps to a create a full network ATT leases bandwidth where they don't have their own network? Anyone...
  19. What’s Coming in Rivian’s 2026.15.30 Hotfix

    In many respects this evaluation is correct. But I dictated the same message to Siri and RA yesterday and was shocked how much better RA was. Siri was crap by comparison. Now if they keep addressing other issues and enhancements, we'll have a winner.
  20. Self driving update: Gen 2 and Gen 3 Autonomy on R2 should be similar for a "couple of years"

    A very cherry picked route might account for it.
