My 2018 Honda Odyssey has this feature, so I wouldn't call it "premium" Also at 6'5 this means I'm definitely going to smack my head on the tailgate when it's open

It's one of several high density areas for Rivian and an easy example. I could have said LA or Denver but it was first to come to mind since I was there recently.

It's not a conspiracy. This exact thing happened with R1 and there was quite a bit of kvetching from long time reservation holders about people with more recent reservations getting a car before them. This time they were just smarter about how they justify "the process."

SC laws allow for service centers operated by manufacturers specifically for the purpose of doing warranty related repairs, which is what Rivian uses to have service centers in state. The real question is whether they will focus on limiting the number of delivery centers early on to reduce...

I had my R1 delivered to me in SC back in 2022. They may not be offering anything like that for R2 though, or at least not early on.

It wasn't an issue for me during R1 launch, but that was before they had any demo centers. I have similar concerns that they are going to prioritize those areas over places that only have a service center in states that prohibit sales activity. I was originally thinking I could have an R2 by...

Invite Batches We want to give everyone the most accurate picture of when they can order their R2. To do that, we're bringing a randomly selected group of reservation holders into early batches, which will help us refine our timing estimates so that everyone can benefit from a clear and...

My first thought when I saw the design was that it looks like a saddle top on almost every scissor jack I've ever used would fit into those grooves. If that's the case, it would actually be easier to lift on my own than my old Jeep was because getting that saddle aligned right was a pain.

Bit premature to say they "never hit scale" all things considered. In 2-3 years that could be accurate if they never hit their full run rate for R2 at Normal but they are on track with Tesla at this point in terms of manufacturing scale if not slightly ahead.

I didn't realize IKEA sold surfboards. Seems like it would be a pain to assemble.

My friend, finding ways to get sensors to send data to the mothership that they aren't supposed to be able to send is basically a full time hobby for the CCP. If they are able to do so with extremely simple devices I'm sure that they can manage with a highly complex machine.

My thought for loading/unloading groceries is that I'll just drop the window and keep the liftgate closed. As long as what you're loading or unloading is smaller than the window opening it will actually be easier than the split gate of the R1 becuase you don't have to worry about the overhead...

Ok, idiot

I'd much rather have the roll down window than the split tailgate. It's far more functional both for airflow and for oversize loads.

I really hope that they don't do this. Including a Chinese made LiDAR sensor would effectively make every Rivian an espionage platform for the CCP, and it would likely mean that any future Rivian vehicles would be out of consideration for me.

I think more than one of these things can be true at the same time: 1) they have increased the initial production capacity based on US demand expectations and/or the Uber deal timeline 2) they have reduced the long term production at the Georgia plant to offshore production of vehicles bound...

It's possible that they are in discussions to identify a location for local manufacturing in the EU or GBR that would take on some of the planned capacity of the Georgia site. Given the state of things over there and the general dislike for Tesla's leadership, there may be some mutual interest...

I am disappoint 😞

So if I understand you correctly, this means I'd likely have to dismember an adult to fit them into this space?

Pretty sure the one with the blue calipers is an R1. Notice the emblem on the C pillar.
