Yes, to some extent this is true. Also for about 90 days Tesla has added a popup asking for confirmation on "why" when FSD is disabled. A little annoying, but I figure it is temporary and helping them fast track improvements. However, my understanding is the main difference is the "vision"...

Good points have been made, but the ethics of inflating range on sales should be considered (also didn't realize Lucid over inflated their numbers so much, as I've always been impressed with their EPA ratings). Would an EV released in 2026 make your shopping list if it was priced over $50K...

Wow, and the Tesla Model Y Performance made it 310 miles vs 253 miles. This is a huge difference and this is with the highway optimized tires on the Rivian. This may be sufficient to lock in my decision.

Is this month to month with no obligation like Tesla? If so, this is a compelling option. I've signed up for the extended warranty on my Model Y. It is only $60 a month, starts after my original warranty ends, and I can cancel at any time. Much better than owning a warranty that I'll never get...

So Volvo is or isn't Chinese owned? FYI- they just gave up on lidar

Yeah, very close in price and value which is why they are being cross shopped by many. The Model Y Premium already had .99% interest rate, but the Model Y Performance just lowered the interest rate down to 3.99% from 5.64% potentially saving a few thousand dollars.

Hurting baby seals and turtles at a 25% greater rate is so worth it! 🤣

The underlying decision: Do you want the EV version of a Bronco Sport Badlands or Porsche Macan GTS? The Rivian is still the most efficient in it's class as is the Model Y. I would like to own both, but my gut tells me highway use will have more impact for me. Why does life offer so many...

I believe EV's will quickly pass traditional makes in long-term reliability as models in mass exceed 10 years in the field. I think this bodes well for Rivian as well. Tesla is already twice as likely to make it to 250,000 miles as Subaru and passed Mercedes, BMW, and Porsche. My prediction is...

Unfortunately it doesn’t look like the R2 is ideal for high speed road trips. It will not likely crack 200 miles at 80 mph. The Model Y Performance is the more environmentally sound choice due to the much higher efficiency. Turtles and Seals will live longer and happier lives.

Good to know and hope it proves out in tests. My current Model Y RWD is rated at 357 miles, so it is a good reminder the comparison needs to be with the AWD version which is more comparable.

While I came away impressed with my R2 test drive...this is my biggest concern. I regularly do between 70-80 on the highway and the Model Y's shape is optimized for faster cruising. My usage of FSD is steadily increasing, and also concerned about the timeline on enhancements to Autonomy + on the...

Is the top speed the same for both tire options on the Launch Edition?

It was great to see this posted on X. 11.33 in the quarter mile is very impressive and the first time I’ve seen actual performance specs beyond 0-60.

My theory is I that I have timed things perfectly; access to the Launch Edition, but late in the year. It will be a better version than anyone foolish enough to order early. ;)

So you couldn't come up with any examples? Hence, my comparison. For the foreseeble future Tesla may rate FSD as supervised (that we agree on), but it is already 97% on the way to unsupervised capabilities. Mo Are you saying there is a better system available in the US than Tesla FSD? I just...

Yes, I believe Rivian R1T sales are comparable to the Cybertruck, so not a sales success like the Model Y, but the most advanced in the line up with 4 wheel steering, air suspension, 48V electrical system, steer by wire, stainless steel body, gorilla glass windows, vault, vehicle to load...

I assume the R2 will also shift into park if you remove the seatbelt or open the door? At least that's how mine works...parking in the garage has never been easier. IMHO once you get accustomed to one pedal driving, you will never want to go back. Should take a few days max. I rarely touch the...

The Cybertruck continues to sell well. If I want a base version it is sold out until 2027. The Cybertruck is the best pickup available today by many metrics and competitive on payload, bed length, towing, power, storage, charging, efficiency, etc.

I meant the i3…due to it’s complete market failure. Proprietary wheel size, limited range, motorycycle engine option for extended range, and horrible depreciation.
