  1. VIN FOR COASTAL CLOUD R2 RECEIVED!

    I received my order invite 8/18. Placed order 8/19...crickets. Glacier White, Black Crater and 20." I'm in Florida...
  2. Warning, this is a rant. I hate that they got rid of basic voice commands

    You are not wrong. Rivian is a company in flux. I will allow them some leeway to make choices that benefit them to a degree but they also need to realize these cars are not cheap, and we deserve basic things that keep us safe, just not remove them. We will never know the reason but it could be...
  3. COASTAL CLOUD + CATALINA COVE ORDERED...

    Received my invite to order on Tuesday this week and waited till yesterday to order. Glacier white with Black Crater interior. I can post more but we all get the idea. Curious to see how long it will take for delivery. Our first EV and very excited to be part of the Rivian family.
  4. Switched from R1T (Gen 1 Quad) to a Ford Bronco

    I think it's great that you can move from one to another!
  5. The future of Rivian

    If real adults were running the show I would agree. Sadly, professional leadership is severely lacking to deal with a scenario like this...
  6. R2 suspension specs: MacPherson Struts (front), multi-link suspension (rear), mechanical antiroll bars, coil springs, triple tube shock absorbers

    Well...I can see this part will need replacing more than once in the vehicle lifetime. I can't picture a scenario where at least one of these bushings won't fail. I like the design. Looks replaceable...
  7. The future of Rivian

    I worry about the future of FORD, GM, Chevrolet... I could go on but this is our new reality and it's not looking up.
  8. Ketchum: Wait for LiDAR? - The Rivian R2 LiDAR story isn’t what you think

    You would think that a technology upgrade path would be part of the engineering discussions when they design these vehicles. I know they need to sell cars, I get that. As a customer, It's sad that I have to spend 60k on a new car just to have the latest and greatest when it's possibly...
  9. Ketchum: Wait for LiDAR? - The Rivian R2 LiDAR story isn’t what you think

    All I can say is I agree with Rivian 100% on having multiple sensors and vision to reach FSD. In the end, is LIDAR required? Well, other car companies besides Tesla do not think so. The statement made by others is the level of precision is not required. Vision is required for signs...
  10. Window Tinting an R2 with UV / IR measurements - Video

    The cut the shape on the outside with the clear film facing out. Then, they attach it to the inside. It's just easier to get the shape outside...
  11. NHTSA: US to Begin Work on New Car Door Safety Rules After Deaths in Teslas

    I agree on this one. It's nice to have it look cool but not at the expense of life or limb...I have a family and keeping everyone safe is important.
  12. Front suspension fail

    I never said it was junk. I think is amazing. But, that fact that you hear of so many issues turned me off to the R1 series. As amazing and great as we all think it is, it's a failure point and potentially a very expensive one.
  13. Front suspension fail

    This is the main reason I avoided the R1S and R1T series. The suspension is clearly a failure point. It's the reason I'm interested in the R2 and NOT the R1s. Note I did not say weak point. I really think that Rivian should charge customers something for out of warranty repairs, but it...
  14. Munro Video - R2 Structural Battery Pack Explained by Engineering Team

    Great video! In the drive train section I wish they would show the original motor as well as the newer generation R2 to compare and contrast.. I'm curious is the battery pack liquid cooled? Is thermal management air or water? Just curious if anyone knows...
  15. R2 12V Battery Location - Photo

    Worst case scenario is you hook up another battery in parallel and then remove the old battery and replace it. You can also use a 12V charger. I would swap out batteries in old oscilloscopes this way. The scopes would lose all the stored memory if you removed the back up battery. Putting the...
  16. Sad, but I think I’m out

    The R2 is a substantial investment, if we can call it that. I decided to look at other trucks for giggles and I was flabbergasted to see the price on a FORD Shelby F-150. It was priced 100K MORE than the R2. Stunning really how expensive transportation has become.
  17. Is it too soon to know....

    Rivian knows they have to do the launch not just perfectly but better than expected. I think they will have Gen 3 hardware sooner than we realize. I also think they will wrap up the launch edition sooner than expected and go with the mainstream R2 with LiDAR. It's just a guess. It's a 100%...
  18. R2 w/ LiDAR, 19-inch wheels spied

    It does look great and that brings up another issue? What happens if/when the front windshield needs to be replaced? I've replaced 2 or 3 in all my driving! Insurance is Florida covers the front windshield replacement at no cost to the insurer but I suspect only RIVIAN will be able to make...
