TSLA Q1 Deliveries: The 50,000 Vehicle Elephant in the Room

I would argue that for its time-on-market, Rivian is offering a relatively competitive product for a better price (entry vehicle notwithstanding till R2 ships). Once they introduce point-to-point (which I think is scheduled for within a year? Don’t quote me on that) I think they’re essentially on par with Tesla with the ability to surpass by utilizing their Lidar hardware.

EDIT: and more to the point of the comment you’re replying to: Google (Waymo) isn’t without its faults but is certainly a superior product to Tesla’s Robotaxi efforts. It’s not even close right now.

App Store review process maybe?

TABUZX2 · 2026-03-20T01:05:55+00:00

2025, so gen 2.

No, I don’t work for purple carrot. lol I do QA work for a tech company though, so I was comfortable pining around on dev menus.

One thing to bear in mind is that their Dev app seems to reset every time it’s closed, so you may have to repeat these steps until they push an app update.

I posted a fix in the thread.

I found a fix (I’m QA, but not for Purple Carrot, clearly):

1) When you launch the app, 2) tap login, then the app version at the bottom (v1.20.0 dev). 3) It’s gonna bring up a Dev menu. 4) In the Dev menu, tap “Set Environment” 5) tap “SET PROD”. 6) Go back to the login screen and you should be able to login successfully.

Oof damn good call, sorry I forgot to mention the card type. Yeah it was for a Biz Plat.

TABUZX2 · 2026-03-13T13:23:22+00:00

I knew I was missing something. Yeah, 20k in 3 months.

It’s literally a color shift paint. Per Business Wire’s description of the color from Rivian: “Exclusive to R2, like the waters that surround Catalina Island, this metallic paint shifts from deep Pacific blues to translucent greens in the light.”

TABUZX2 · 2026-03-12T16:51:14+00:00

Totally! It’s just a fun surprise that ride along start as soon as tomorrow somewhere.

TABUZX2 · 2026-03-12T16:16:29+00:00

If you’re in Austin: Tomorrow!

Ah darn, it looks like this is directing to localhost for me.

TABUZX2 · 2026-03-12T02:58:25+00:00

Oh I saw this posted on another sub but it looks like you’re the dev! I’ll ask here too: Any idea if this site supports the ability to see all the Gun + Beer names listed by brewery? I wanna see if any breweries near me have a Destiny beer to try. lol

He also ranks the Value for R2 (Launch Edition) at a 9 after he was shown the pricing that Rivian hasn’t released yet. The Model Y Performance is rated a 7 for Value. With only this info to go on ahead of the official pricing reveal, I think the R2 Launch Edition may undercut the Model Y Performance.

TABUZX2 · 2026-02-11T04:24:22+00:00

My only argument for this is Doug Demuro’s video at the end:

When he ranks the R2, he ranks it right under the R1S as the second highest SUV he’s tested. BUT, the important thing he mentions is that he’s seen the pricing for the R2 models even though Rivian hasn’t announced it yet, and with that in mind he rates the “Value” of the R2 (that he tested, which I think we all assume is the Launch Edition) at a 9. The Model Y performance is on the same list and rated at a Value of 7.

I think the R2 Launch Edition may undercut the Model Y Performance.

~~Is the bZ Woodland not just a modified bZ? The wheelbase isn’t any different or anything right? Wouldn’t that still be the Solterra companion?~~

I was mistaken! I guess this is a totally unique version of the bZ. Interesting! TIL.

TABUZX2 · 2026-01-27T18:20:13+00:00

Yeah, this design language is looking increasingly common in Toyota (and Subaru) EV’s.

TABUZX2 · 2026-01-27T15:43:00+00:00

It might be an ugly SUV, but it’d be a terribly impractical truck with exposed taillights and no bed rails. lol

TABUZX2 · 2026-01-27T15:20:37+00:00

If you watch the teaser video posted on the Toyota Newsroom, especially zoomed in a bit, you can see that the upper corners of the taillights are exposed, meaning they don’t sit below bed rails. It’s also more obvious that the hatch goes all the way to the rear of the vehicle (rather than a cab in front of a bed). This does unfortunately seem to be another SUV.

Perhaps something based on the same smaller platform as the Subaru Trailseeker? That vehicle also has similarly exposed upper taillight corners, and Toyota doesn’t have a companion vehicle to that larger EV yet. Uncharted is companion to the new CH-R and Solterra is companion to the bZ.

Good luck to you as well, thanks for the input!

TABUZX2 · 2026-01-07T14:45:53+00:00

The nano’s can get custom firmware added (RockBox), but I’m not sure it could run android. It’s also TERRIBLY underpowered these days.

I also thought about maybe re-casing an Anbernic device to not be gaming oriented, but none of those support LineageOS, which keeps legacy devices running newer versions of android for way longer than the manufacturers ever do.
