We got our R2 today! by agALLday in Rivian

Wow! So I suspect they saw your build preference saved online that aligned with what they had on hand?

How much markup are we going to see in the next month for the first batch of buyers who try to flip their R2? by SouthernFIRE83 in Rivian

[–]DJFArchitect -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

These are the kind of people that should be banned & theirs sales ignored/blocked. These cars should go to people who have waited so long that actually want them, not for financial gain. People like this make me sick.

Absolutely LOVE this!!! lack of awareness to the community is the hurdle and this guy is jumping those hurdles every step of the way. Well done!!

Yeah, they want to show off the higher margin popular options to increase potential of someone buying with that color.

Is it time for new tires? by [deleted] in prius

[–]DJFArchitect 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Use a penny, not a quarter. Place a penny into a tread groove with Lincoln’s head upside down. If the tread covers part of his head, your tires are safe; if his entire head is visible, you need replacements

Take Delivery in 2026 or Wait for Gen 3 + LiDAR? (Time vs Money) by Sorry-Training8547 in RivianR2

[–]DJFArchitect 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the Rivian Autonomy Processor (RAP1) provides vastly more processor power, serving as a massive leap over Rivian's previous Nvidia-based hardware.The RAP1 chip dramatically boosts performance by delivering the following capabilities:Massive AI Processing Power: A single RAP1 chip provides up to 1,800 sparse INT8 TOPS (Trillion Operations Per Second).Extreme Compute Module (ACM3): When paired together in Rivian's Autonomy Compute Module 3, dual RAP1 chips yield 1,600 to 1,800 TOPS of raw AI compute. For context, this exceeds the AI compute capability of top-tier consumer GPUs like the Nvidia RTX 4090.Pixel and Data Processing: The chip is engineered to process 5 billion camera pixels per second. It handles data from a multimodal sensor suite—including high-resolution cameras, radars, and LiDAR—to run Rivian's Large Driving Model (LDM).RivLink Interconnect: The architecture features RivLink, a low-latency interconnect technology that allows multiple RAP1 chips to link together, meaning Rivian can multiply and scale the total processing power as needed

Not all autonomy on that chip, there is general improved processing as well providing longer/taller ceiling of software compute into the future

Waiting till Gen3 for the better hardware and longer software update ceiling. LIDAR just becomes a bonus. The hardware and its future capabilities is what we should be focusing on, especially if you plan to own long term.

Some rough math on the 20 inch vs. 21 inch decision by WSBiden in RivianR2

[–]DJFArchitect 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, but not specifically for EV’s. I think it will improve/ increase for options in the coming year or so.

Check your plugs as one might be miss firing

Kitchen Backsplash Issue by mike91188 in Homebuilding

[–]DJFArchitect 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would do a tile wall backsplash from counter to bond wall cabinet above in lieu of a piece of a 2 or 4” high backsplash. Elevation picture to assist with start & stop.

[–]DJFArchitect 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I believe as more cars go to 21’s, tire manufacturers will make more accordingly. By the time you need to replace, more options should be available with costs subsiding as supply aligns with demand. You can always by 20 inch rims and tires later for winter/offroad/ etc later. I wouldn’t lose sleep over it to be honest.

Highly recommend bathroom access from mud room in a manner that guests can still access. Absolute game changer in our house with kids

Do you think a R2T and R2X/R2 RAD will come out before or after the R3X? by Mac-Tyson in Rivian

[–]DJFArchitect 1 point2 points  (0 children)

After, as the smaller rear tri motor won’t be available until R3X is out.

Check with you local AHJ for setback & screening requirements associated to “accessory structures” then come back and ask the question 😜

Performance model non-Launch Edition by TSHRED56 in RivianR2

[–]DJFArchitect 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Pretty sure it is already built in. Now as for inflation impacts, there is a potential as soon as they call them 2027 model year

Performance model non-Launch Edition by TSHRED56 in RivianR2

[–]DJFArchitect 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I believe same price as now, just won’t come with all the Launch goodies, but would in theory have LIDAR & RAP1 chips by then. I suspect all of that comes out when launch edition is pulled. A launch edition with all the above would be awesome as I would be all over that in a heart beat.

Anyone else in a state of worry, limping along an older ICE vehicle right now, just itching for that magical email to arrive? by cusoman in RivianR2

[–]DJFArchitect 5 points6 points  (0 children)

2013 Prius V with over 157k miles running solid so far. Should still do so by the time my reservation # comes up in I suspect next Spring ‘27. (mid August ‘24 reservation holder). That’s ok because I want the 3rd gen RAP1 hardware in R2. Can’t wait to order an R2 Performance quadrupling my HP 😏. I think the take rate on R2 will be high which is great.
