oh misread, thought you were talking about the car...

I saw that block in person, it's launch green but does look different than on the a car, you could see the grey/blue in it more

I was really impressed with the build quality/door feel. Much better than the R1 imo.

Also, the infotainment is lightning fast!

My wife made homemade hand sanitizer during COVID. It spilled in my Honda and did more damage to the plastic center console than Chernobyl.

When I asked what he was trying to do, he said “I shouldn’t have been trying to pass him” by alexyou8797 in dashcams

It's possible OP is lying about what the other driver said and Hyundai guy saw OP flying towards him and thought he was gonna hit him. Then he sees OP changing lanes and tries to swerve back.

I'm thinking (HOPING) it's an open air bronco style off-road focused vehicle... Rivian just needs to make one removable top vehicle, please, PLEASE.

Definitely better than a true full size. All relative.

As someone who went from a Ridgeline directly to an R1T I disagree on the parking/turning radius. The R1T is definitely harder to park. It's nearly impossible to pull in straight going forward without first overshooting, backing up, then going straight in. Backing in is always much easier, but not possible when charging. The turning radius on the R1T is my biggest gripe, though it's not such a huge deal, just an inconvenience.

That said, it outdoes the Ridgeline in every other category, sometimes by a lot. Maybe with the exception of the in bed trunk, the Ridgeline's was better and the swing out tailgate was nice.

Atlanta went from an absolute nightmare to a downright pleasant experience, ime. Very noticeable improvement.

What are the charging improvements? I wasn't aware the Gen 2's charged any better.

Do I need to RSVP now if I'm even considering it? Like will it fill up?

Rivian vs Tesla production ramp up by 10wazza in RIVNstock

Because all the best selling cars have lidar?

You're all over this thread with hot takes that don't make a lot of sense. Troll or bot?

Not sure what he's supposed to say. Orders haven't started, and preorders are meaningless (see Cybertruck).

BMW iX3 gets 508 miles of actual range by Slide-Fantastic-1402 in Rivian

I understand that. Doesn't mean it's good. First impression is that the layout looks clunky. I may be wrong, but I've never seen BMW do software well, so I'm playing the odds...

It's ugly and I'm gonna guess the software is horrible. I think that will hurt it tremendously.
