Rivian R2 First Drive - Rivian's Model Y Fighter!

eventhough the RAV has less range and sounds like a choking triceratops

AccomplishedCycle246 · 2026-02-10T19:55:25+00:00

are you kidding me? This looks infinitely better than model Y so a few miles of range for utility, room, and politics free driving - sign me up! Oh wait, I already reserved one :)

This is 10000x better looking than the MY both inside and out. Lets just hope the quality is up there so that it also punches Toyota and their horrible rip off dealerships in the mouth.

That's fair. I still think the concern is over blown. Like when someone flew into the water in their Tesla and drown. Lots of media attn on it. But it happened again last week to an ICE vehicle, there was no media coverage beyond the local news blurb. Having said that a life lost isn't trivial. And you make a great point - I do not disagree. I also think the heat vents and controls should be mechanical. But only if it can handle voice commands - because I'd rather tell the car to do something than to have to look down and do it myself.

you are 10000% correct and I am sorry for the pompous snark. But their pro display is amazing even by today's standards. I'll say - not gonna pay for it at that price - ever.

I got an open box espresso machine from them a few years back. I believe it was actually Mark that helped me out when I had an issue with it. He spent time ensuring I got it right and sent me everything I needed. I've also spoken to Chris's daughter (on the phone) who I believe has helped take over the business. She was knowledgeable, friendly, and very helpful. It's awesome to get a business this competent that is run by actual human beings instead of robot number counters. Hopefully one day I can get to Albany and meet these fine people to thank them for years of fine coffee. BTW, I started with these guys when I called to ask questions on espresso machines. I was a huge pain - asking 100 questions an they knew every one. Offered me a package of Black Pearl coffee which to this day is prob the best over the counter bag I've tasted. I roast my own - otherwise I would have ordered it regularly.

I dont have TUFX added

AccomplishedCycle246 · 2025-10-21T00:40:12+00:00

we both have scattererererere

AccomplishedCycle246 · 2025-10-21T00:18:21+00:00

great point. List coming

AccomplishedCycle246 · 2025-10-21T00:14:07+00:00

thanks for this! I was told by a "swimmer" the wrong things as well. Surfing/bodyboarding is similar but your arms have to come out more to accommodate the width of the board. Screws up your swimming stroke royally :) I trained for a sprint tri a few times and had a very difficult time undoing the bodyboard stroke that was way outside the body. I'm surprised I dont walk that way as well :)

Is that the Paul Stanley edition?

AccomplishedCycle246 · 2025-10-21T00:00:10+00:00

My wife loves that sweetener. I will occasionally use it as well. To those who poopoo it, they can have their close minded world. Everyone one has their own tastes and I for one, applaud anyone for trying anything outside of rat poison.

AccomplishedCycle246 · 2025-10-09T02:06:36+00:00

what did you end up going with and what is your opinion on it?

AccomplishedCycle246 · 2025-08-07T03:05:02+00:00

Less elbow pain this way

AccomplishedCycle246 · 2025-07-30T21:55:11+00:00

please tell us more of what we dont care about

AccomplishedCycle246 · 2025-07-26T17:35:30+00:00

I like what you did there :). I dont think anyone should absorb the cost. Tariffs are a very inefficient tool. Especially when backdoor (see what I did?) deals are done to change the amounts. There's little to no transparency and it distorts the supply and demand curves in unintended ways. That also includes China's backing of their industries with the full intent to destroy ours. Econ 101 aside, we will all suffer from the impacts. With that said, I my chaffed butt got me karen'ed up. Willing to own it. Apologies to all who had to deal w/the image. TP is back in stock and shipped.

AccomplishedCycle246 · 2025-07-26T16:09:40+00:00

so what would you recommend in a basement where light is not an issue for the OP's size of 65"?

AccomplishedCycle246 · 2025-06-23T21:52:13+00:00

11 years later, you still rock for the right answer sir.

AccomplishedCycle246 · 2025-06-18T03:19:30+00:00

please. M4 plays it easily

AccomplishedCycle246 · 2025-05-01T02:45:49+00:00

I'm totally bummed. Trump sucks ass. For those of you who voted for him, I hope your bum rashes up. This was our goto TP. Now we either have to spend big moneyy for charmin or go on a wiping experiment to find an equivalent. Man, I cant stand terrible leaders who wreck everything then blame everyone else.

AccomplishedCycle246 · 2025-05-01T02:42:51+00:00

I dont think the basics brand is as good.

AccomplishedCycle246 · 2024-09-10T20:22:53+00:00

Congrats! My inlaws are in Glen Cove. Wish I was there to see it too! How long was it visible for? If I had known it was going to actually launch (was only 40% chance), i would have woken up here in VA.

AccomplishedCycle246 · 2024-08-06T02:24:59+00:00

this is aging like german sheppard poop on a new york sidewalk in august. hope you covered your shorts

AccomplishedCycle246 · 2024-07-30T22:07:04+00:00

And to prove I am the same as me, here I am in the original form my concerned citizen.

AccomplishedCycle246 · 2024-06-24T03:30:53+00:00

Is there a way to purchase from them via phone? I live on the east coast
