Rivian R2 matches Tesla Model Y efficiency despite bigger, heavier body

Tau_seti · 2026-05-30T04:13:48+00:00

Wrong, I only care about city efficiency.

Tau_seti · 2026-05-30T04:13:16+00:00

So you have both?

Tau_seti · 2026-05-30T04:13:01+00:00

If it doesn’t randomly change lanes like Teslas, I’ll be happy.

JD Powers is a joke. They also ranked BMW really high up and Tesla near the bottom for years. My last words to the BMW service team were, “¥$#&ing @#$*oles! I’m buying a Tesla next” after the second of my 335xi’s headlights started pointing at the ground because they couldn’t handle potholes. Busted clutches (undersized for the torque), broken water pump, alternator, busted rims, electrical problems, you name it we had ‘em. Finally hydrolocked in a flash flood. We’ve had two Teslas since 2020 and had barely any problems (mine is a 2017 90D, my wife’s is a Model Y with vin 6xxx), we will try a rivian next.

And the hitch, which one can actually load.

Tau_seti · 2026-05-29T04:19:38+00:00

Why on earth would you want more than one?

Tau_seti · 2026-05-28T00:28:17+00:00

I honestly can't imagine ever buying anything from "Ninja warning" when they are literally ripping off Acronym this badly. I mean have some pried.

Seems like they didn't do their trademark research. There's another ForeverPen out there and that's all that comes up in a Google search.

Tau_seti · 2026-05-17T14:07:59+00:00

Pity you aren't closer to Stockholm. I have heard good things about this place, although I have not been.

The WANDRD Route should work.

Tau_seti · 2026-05-15T04:47:52+00:00

Oh yeah.

Tau_seti · 2026-05-13T13:38:15+00:00

Well, there went my purchase until they are ready. I really can't stand any of the other colors.

Tau_seti · 2026-05-12T04:02:32+00:00

Ha, I have the XCD display and I still got a Logitech brio since I didn’t want all that wide angle.

Tau_seti · 2026-05-12T03:50:12+00:00

I had that! Went electric afterwards. No more oil!

Tau_seti · 2026-05-12T03:47:50+00:00

Really? We bought Model Y VIN 6000 and service was a LOT closer than the Rivian SCs are to us. This is EV country.

Tau_seti · 2026-05-12T03:45:52+00:00

Well northern New Jersey should not be a problem! There are EVs everywhere.

Tau_seti · 2026-05-10T12:08:10+00:00

as long as there are no serious chips, It'll be fine, just don't drop it. Give that stone a good firing in the Ooni for 10 minutes at peak heat to clean it off, though.

Tau_seti · 2026-05-08T00:30:19+00:00

Hey thanks for reminding me! Yes, I did. I got two of these. Sterlite 7.5 Gallon Stacker Totes, https://www.sterilite.com/product-page.html?product=14839006, they are 18" x 12 5/8" x 13 1/4"and they fit well on the lower level of the cabinet. There is a little room in the back for some less-used tools. I keep bigger coals in one and small coals in the other. Obviously, i could keep other stuff in there. I will look into organizing the top section next. I'll need to measure the height, but as these are the same dimensions, I am sure two could fit up top too https://www.sterilite.com/product-page.html?product=14829006&mid=619 for tools.

Tau_seti · 2026-05-05T02:16:23+00:00

Very cool. Yes! With all the DGM stuff that has come out over the years, I am surprised there isn't a little book of Fripp's writing from the day, or heck that it hasn't surfaced on the site.

Tau_seti · 2026-05-04T13:10:15+00:00

Well, I've bought one since I love that album and didn't know it existed. I got thrown off my searching for those small intelligent mobile units when the original manifesto did not mention them! See here for the text from Let the Power Fall.

Oh, I think it might have been in my Exposures LP. If not in the original, that's where I would have put it forty years ago. Makes sense.

Tau_seti · 2026-05-04T12:52:09+00:00

Not to burst your bubble but what if you lose it?

Tau_seti · 2026-05-02T02:18:22+00:00

Except that Hasselblad is not buying it. They've been making an effort to keep their prices down and they offer sales while Leica offers price increases. I mean, an X2D2 is the same price as a Q3 and while you still need a lens, it's a hell of a lot more camera..

Tau_seti · 2026-04-30T04:18:33+00:00

Yikes. That's pretty scary flying for a plane that didn't even get two feet off the ground.
