I don’t see anything wrong in here that requires Rivian to do anything different. EPA estimates are NOT highway range estimates @70 mph. I have been driving EV for the last four years and never thought 250 mile range was an issue.
Hey, it’s the birthright of every spoiled American kid to destroy his own toy cars. Better yet, someone else’s car. Demolition derby for fun and $$$.
I disagree with his conclusion, but wish we have more options for the LE.

It means that for the time being, and for some time in the future, all R2 sold will have the Launch Package included. How long in the future? is unknown to us the consumers. I would not be surprised if Rivian itself has not determined when this marketing strategy will change (depending on...
I have a Launch Edition reservation, I like driving, have no need or desire to be a passenger in my own car. Free Autonomy+ is VERY compelling to me.
The data training and resulting better situational awareness in Gen3 will also upgrade Autonomy+ in Gen2 over time through OTA.

The invite to order is coming Nov-Dec with delivery 4-8 weeks. Will wait a few months to get RAP1/LiDAR just to be current with hardware; don’t care about self driving.
For me it boils down to not accepting to ride on crappy AT tires on asphalt for the first 30K miles of this great car …. The AS Scorpion gives more precise steering and smoother ride with less noise. Also, the 255/55 gives a good size sidewall for the tire. And that $1K saving would pay 2/3 of...
We’re in the same window of order/delivery. Except for future sale, I don’t see LiDAR/RAP1 adding anything substantial for quite a while until the software is mature enough. Meanwhile Autonomy+ for life is here and well regarded.
