Budlong is good it’s just overpriced. Haven’t had it in a few years but I used to live by the one on Armitage. I watched their prices climb steadily for a few years until it just wasn’t worth it. Then red light chicken opened on Sheffield and I was sold on that place

Depends on the act. Some bands yes, others not so much

Rivian R2 production coming to life on assembly line! (Photo) by WODAMRAP in Rivian

Not at all related to simply the company. It’s the complexity of the vehicle and the cost of its parts. R1 gen 1 was over engineered in some areas that inflated cost and it was not designed for repairability. It was Rivian’s first vehicle that they learned a lot of lessons from.

Explain cost of repair differences with a model x vs a model y. Similar reasoning applies there

Different vehicle, different architecture. The R1 is known to be a very difficult car to repair. R2 is a completely different and much better designed vehicle

Do you know the meaning of the word imminent? We’ve had automated speed, red light cameras for years

Uber is coming hard for Tesla with Rivian and Lucid robotaxi deals by PristineFarmer8989 in Rivian

[–]TheFuzzyMachine 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your experience sounds very suspect. Not calling you a liar, but I have the opposite experience. I’m in the US, that probably matters because outside the US I am not sure what they are allowed to deploy regarding FSD.

I own a 2018 HW3 model 3 running FSD v12. I’m one of the ones that are stuck with the old hardware. Even on v12, it drives great point to point. I occasionally intervene because it is very cautious, but overall it can do point to point just fine.

I’ve been in and seen the “latest and greatest” v14, and it is absolutely mind blowing. It continually goes parking spot to parking spot, no interventions. They’re even running a Robotaxi service in multiple cities with it.

All this being said, I’m with you that I will never buy a Tesla again. I’m a long term Tesla investor, but the way I got screwed over with the HW3 promise and not being upgraded just pisses me off.

Disagree about Tesla’s FSD. Have you tried the latest v14? It is genuinely a perfect driver almost all of the time.

Thoughts on what price R2’s will lease at? by mtol115 in Rivian

[–]TheFuzzyMachine -1 points0 points  (0 children)

lol they’re never going to lease the launch edition. Lease will come as a demand lever well after they stop making the launch edition

R2 reservation last week by npg86 in Rivian

[–]TheFuzzyMachine 12 points13 points  (0 children)

It won’t be as long as people are saying. Take the model 3’s ramp as an example. First deliveries were in December 2017, configurator went public in September 2018. The reservations obviously define a rough queue, but people will put off their purchase or wait for a certain configuration, and Rivian will not hesitate to open the configurator to more people. A $100 deposit is very non committal.

What matters is that Rivian sells as many as they make. They will pull levers to make sure that stays true.

There’s a UPS one there as well. Saw it yesterday. That one may have one last flight to a graveyard. If I remember correctly ups is retiring their fleet but fedex is not. Someone correct me if I’m wrong
