I'm not much of a style guy or car guy. Heck I wish Rivian offered 18 inch wheels, or at least the 19s on all trims. But I do love boxy no frills look.
Both cards are in wallet for myself and others in my household. I don't plan on loaning out my cars to folks that are inclined to being pulled over! :)
Because a new car that touts its technology should not require a clip on remote. My 2005 Infiniti has a still working homelink button on the rearview mirror. And not to mention someone could break into your car and steal your remote. Then simply follow you home to figure out where you live.
Wife and I did a test drive today Saturday 11 JUL 2026 in downtown Atlanta. Temps were around 90 degrees. Our guide was incredibly friendly and knowledgeable and the check in process was quick and easy.
HVAC: We were both quite surprised at how cool the car's interior felt. The Atlanta sun...
Are you not concerned with damaging tires over rough surfaces. And not off road, but highway expansion joints, crumpling asphalt, uneven concrete, etc. Seems like the thin amount of rubber between wheel edge and roadway would be a liability on any car, and even more so on one that is...

So now in my 2005 G35 I can use my (self installed) bluetooth to play music from my phone. With no cell signal, I can still play music that is stored on my memory card. But in a 2026 Rivian R2 I can only play music with a subscription? Or can I still use bluetooth to play through the car...
We share a 2014 Subaru Outback 3.6R. If we were to get an R2, we'd likely keep the Outback for a few weeks then eventually sell it or give it to our 22 year old (and sell her 2005 G35). We've shared the car for nearly 6 years, thought remote working and a few Ebikes certainly have helped.
What is this odd fascination with comically oversized wheels? I do wish I could get the standard 19s, or even something smaller, paired with the Premium model. What is gained from a larger, heavier wheel, and less rubber between wheel edge and road? Is there an engineering advantage, improved...
