Disagree. Rivian almost certainly had the hardware spec'd, contracts committed and software well under development prior to March 2020. The first Rivian shipped in September 2021, 18 months after the start of COVID, and the original goal was to ship sooner than that. You don't wait until 9 months before shipping a vehicle to finalize systems and hardware.
Understood. I'm just bitter that they didn't have a leasing program at the time when I bought or I wouldn't mind so much with the cameras/speakers/suspension. Early pricing made it more tolerable but anyone who paid full price lately for Gen 1 with no tax rebate really got hosed when Gen 2 was announced. I never thought they would jump to Gen 2 so quickly in a year or I would've waited. Kudos to the geniuses who sold their IPO stock quickly, had 2 reservations so they could get R1T first and then flip it for a R1S and lastly to the people that held on to their pre-order pricing until now to get Gen 2.
Or buy another EV. The third choice
Gary is pretty useless. He has missed a lot of incidents on my rigs.
Hard disagree. CCDs and lenses are commodity products. You can buy them in infinite quantities with infinite specs. There is no negotiation on these parts, there is just picking one out of a hundred page catalog.
Moot argument. The cameras we have are the ones we have. No amount of bickering is going to change what it was over a month ago, when the comments were made. Not going to change anything now either. But thanks for telling me how you feel (not that I cared).
Quicktime and LumaFusion Pro both have weird issues ONLY with the video from the Rivian. I edit a lot of other video with them. I haven't tried Final Cut yet. Reminds me to go grab some video from the truck now, so many morons out yesterday. I think I have one funny clip of three idiots in 30 seconds.
