I agree 400k R2's in NA isn't happening, but I could see high-200's to low 300's with a fully scaled sales/service center network. This will take a few years and the R3 though. I'd be surprised if Scout actually happens given VW's financial position and recently announced cuts. Their goal is...

Probably has to do with delivery logistics. They might have full trains/trucks to CA, but unfilled space in the rail cars to OK.

I am not worried about Rivian's financial situation. I was worried around 2024ish, but I am confident in the company today. The R1 Gen 2 made a HUGE difference in their financials. They even flirted with positive Operating Cash Flow for a few quarters in 2025. The company has capital in...

Not until Rivian writes the software to do this. Rivian hasn't announced anything about this being on their roadmap. They seem highly resistant to providing functionality for anything beyond more streaming apps.

Let us know how that works. Others have reported that the Rivian Bluetooth will only pair to phones and not other Bluetooth devices. Although the EVSportsline carplay thingy seems to work. 🤷‍♂️

TBF to the system, ~10 miles in the Bay Area might be a multi-hour journey at some times of the day.

I have mixed feelings about this, and I'll sometimes have opposing opinions on the same day. Alexa was a tech dead-end. Alexa for auto seemed promising ~5 years ago. But Amazon killed the teams supporting it. It makes sense to choose a different tech path and build towards that. Rivian has...

It's a good datapoint, and something that falls into a category of quality discussion instead of an "I'm right, you're wrong" type argument. There's personal preference going on. There are people that do HVAC things and add insulation. SuperPacific even sells an add-on heater with their...

I think it's easier than that now, where you can plug into the trailer hitch. There were some software limitations on using the trailer hitch back then (I forget the details) that I don't believe apply any longer. It's just kind of a PITA to cleanly get the wires from the bed to the trailer...

I will second, third, fourth, and eighth the recommendation for a good sleeping bag instead of trying to come up with an HVAC solution. You can add an electric blanket if you want to get fancy. Tents are not designed to be climate conditioned. Everything you do to add heat is fighting against...

I picked up this camper in the spring. I've had eight nights in it so far. I'm happy with it. It's a lot of money for the number of times I've used it, but that's no surprise. I'd buy it again. My thoughts, in no particular order: 1. I like to sleep on firmer mattresses. I find the bed...

Cabin air filters are also a good use of referral points.

Tesla and Rivian have been good about keeping things updated so far. That should last for a good while. It's in these companies best interests to not generate customer hate at this point in their growth cycle. It doesn't mean this will be true forever. Enshitification is built into the...

All positive experiences in the handful of times I've been there.

I particularly like that they have a lower range trim for a commuter car and longer range trims for those that want something to road-trip in. There's a market for both, and I think the commuter car segment is more under-served. I'm not in the market now, but I think our household will...

RJ also did an interview that I'd summarize as I can't confirm or deny R2T but *wink wink nudge nudge* we want to do an R2T. There's enough info to keep internet speculation running while while providing no real information.

For those waiting for V2H, I would suggest keeping expectations in check until more information is available. It's not an accident that the Ford/GM options that exist can involve $10k+ of electrical work to a house. These systems involve a lot of big wires, main panel work, and safety...

I've had two chips fixed by Safelite. It worked both times. The cracks are still slightly visible if you're looking for them, but the ~$175 is WAY cheaper than a new windshield. I also did one windshield replacement through Safelight. I priced out using both Safelight and having Rivian do...

I believe range in the driver display works as you described. I think; I haven't measured it closely, but that feels like how it operates. Range upon arrival in navigation uses some variety of factors including speed and likely personal driving habits to come up with range numbers. I've found...
