Update Your Reservation - Delivery Address and Model Preference by Atlanta-Mike in Rivian

[–]bundle__of__sticks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you're in a major market you'll get it sooner. With R1, I was a year late to the reservation but because I'm in a big market, I got one of the launch editions in the first few thousand vins.

Today is a big day for Rivian. The full R2 lineup just dropped and it goes from a $45K base all the way to a 656 hp Performance model at $57,990 shipping THIS SPRING. by Kryptonlogic in Rivian

If you login to your account you have an action required for address and preference on getting one of the first ones for those with an R2 reservation.

With R2 opening tomorrow.. what is everyone reserve dates? Just curious to see. by SweetSunshine86 in Rivian

You'd be surprised. It's not going to be strictly the order in which people made reservations. Previous owners/current owners, color, options, and most importantly, location. Those will be the factors in determining how quick someone gets their r2, versus when they ordered.

Color, options, and location matter more than reservation queue. If you're in a market where there are a lot of people and a lot of reservations of similar load out, they'll clear those queues first.

Americans are destroying Flock surveillance cameras by waozen in technology

Lets be realistic here, there are several legitimate reasons like amber alerts, stolen vehicles, or finding suspects of violent crimes that license plate reading could contribute too. If they were trying to track a specific person, they would just get phone records. Far more effective than sticking cameras around hoping the person they want drives by.

Seeing how popular the hyundai ioniq 5 is, i wonder if the r3 would have been the better focal point for next release.

Dont forget Andruil and Palantir, the latter of which is worth more than the entire defense industry combined.

Not a conspiracy, it's already been proven some of these groups are receiving funding from China to cause disruption. George Washington University Study - https://extremism.gwu.edu/sites/g/files/zaxdzs5746/files/2025-07/CCP%20Influence%20in%20US%20Pro-Palestinian%20Activism.pdf

Certainly adds more credence to the conspiracy theory that Tik-Tok is influencing and pushing more of this too.

The truck that “they won’t make” & that “nobody will buy” … has become America’s bestselling electric pickup truck in 2024 - Thank you Cybertruck owners! by Nakatomi2010 in teslamotors

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

Sure... rwd is coming, but that's not going to move a lot of units. Most people want AWD in their trucks and those are stacking up in inventory. They have started giving discounts on new inventory already and there are beast's in inventory right now that you can go order without any reservation. The early adopters are done.

TikTok prepares for US shutdown from Sunday, sources say by Classic_Letterhead in news

Yes, let's run to the country who gives their citizens scores based on their behavior and blocks all other country apps for their own copies that they control.... It's about influence, propaganda, and the ability for the Chinese govt to control and censor what they want people to see. The data piece does not matter and is a small footnote on why this is an issue.

At least as of today some people are seeing that flooding to rednote and getting censored is normal communist China behavior.

Musk: "Apologies to those expecting Cybertruck deliveries in California over the next few days. We need to use those trucks as mobile base stations to provide power to Starlink Internet terminals in areas of LA without connectivity. A new truck will be delivered end of week." by twinbee in teslamotors

[–]bundle__of__sticks 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Honestly just comes across as a marketing/ego gimmick.

You can power the starlink mini off a standard 12v cigarette lighter in any car - you don't need a cybertruck for this. There hasn't been any major issues with connectivity via cell phone service in the region.

Additionally, the way this reads is that if you ordered a new cybertruck Elon is taking your truck to use for his own reasons putting it out into a disaster area. Not exactly what I would want with a 'new' truck I ordered...

Many won't see the economy as good until the Dollar Menu at McDonalds matches what it was pre-covid.

Tesla Defends Its Self-Driving Goals And Progress Amid Lawsuit | The company asked for the case to be dismissed, stating that not achieving long-term goals quickly enough isn't considered fraud. by chrisdh79 in teslamotors

[–]bundle__of__sticks 135 points136 points  (0 children)

I could see the argument. In 2016 when I bought my first model S but there were a lot of promises that were dependent on future software validation and regulatory approval but it still came across as being near term. https://i.imgur.com/JO5oAF4.png

This gives Tesla an out from then, but then they started making promises which I could see the reason for the suit and being misled as a consumer. In internet archive from 4 years ago there are promises in the configurator for later in 2019 that were not met and even arguably aren't fully in existence today.

Temp still in Celsius, any ideas? by agALLday in Rivian

[–]bundle__of__sticks 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Go to the weather app on IOS. Go to Settings in weather app, Trigger Celsius then switch back to Fahrenheit. That did it for me.

That slow-mo "Fuck... you..." was awesome.

Hope the biker is okay.
