Does anyone else hate Gary?

[jeeden]

I don't think I saw your question answered, Gary (not his official name) is a yeti.

As for the artwork quality, that is the style of cartoons these days. I (child of the 80s) grew up with smooth and colorful cartoons like duck tales, Scooby Doo, etc. Then cartoons went to CFI like toy story and Incredibles. The younger generation (as most generations do) want the opposite of their parents. They want "sketchy" animation.thatbisnt perfect and looks chi. Turn on the new duck tales or Scooby Doo and it has ragged lines, muted colors, and looks like it was drawn on a napkin.

It's what the younger generation likes though, is unique, I think well thought out, and is a nice mix of not taking things too serious and still have some great looking software. For instance, I'm always amazed at how good the Rivian image on the dash looks when traveling down the road with the lights etc

I don't particularly care for Gary, but don't hate it. I would have gone another way though.

Re the new UI, I also would have gone another way. I would have used the unreal engine to make the visuals realistic rather than the way they went. But things will evolve. The beauty about these vehicles is that things can be changed over time.

Ummm...nope. Gear Guard guy has been my ride or die since I drove him and my R1T back to NY from Normal.

You again...

It's like he showed up three hours late to a kids party and now wants to complain about the taco lady..?‍

This is sad. I am sad for you. Find joy in life.

LOL, no need to be sad for me. I have plenty of joy in my life. This just doesn't do it for me:

You've been bitching on this site for ages. You should really find something better to do.

The plan was to not be tesla. So instead of the robot eye for sentry mode, we get the exact opposite. a strange creature with a smile , you hardly ever see it

If Gary was an option I'd turn him off. But I don't have kids and am a generally unfun person.
Doesn't bother me much though

I very much like Gary! One of the reviews of the R1T that I read prior to purchase referred to Rivian as "de-agressioning" trucks. Gary is part of that.

I've been trying to imagine what a Country/Western song about a Rivian would sound like... I have no skill with such things, perhaps this is a job for Weird Al?

I bought a Gary Plushie for my wife this week.

I like Gary and so do a lot of kids who will end up being future Rivian owners.

That has me curious to look up prior posts ?

I agree, it is embarrassing. I recall seeing something recently claiming that half of Rivian's employees think it is stupid.
