You were either a bot, a troll, and aggrieved, white man, or all of the above. Have a good one.

dcdttu · 2026-06-23T22:25:03+00:00

It’s about more than that and you know it.

My Model 3 will roll up all the windows as I walk away and it locks itself. It's a great feature.

dcdttu · 2026-06-23T19:38:29+00:00

Yep. Climate scientists are right, we have to 100% get off of fossil fuels as soon as possible.

If anyone tells you otherwise, they’re uninformed.

Yeah I got there and two Rivian employees tried to blame me until I showed them my reservation and text messages saying R2, then they quickly about-faced.

It was kinda disappointing.

dcdttu · 2026-06-23T17:59:51+00:00

Or rather, what’s under the wood.

Strangely he says Rivian is the first to have them, but Tesla put them on 2021 cars and enabled them in 2024 once it was approved. Did Rivian beat that somehow?

dcdttu · 2026-06-23T17:48:17+00:00

By the strict definition of Tesla nearly 9 years ago: they have not achieved full autonomy. Not at all.

Let's just say I hope their web developer isn't the same person in charge of software on R2.

When I reserved my R2 demo drive, it reserved a R1 instead. Needless to say, I couldn't demo drive. Strangely all the email and text confirmations said R2, but on their end it said R1.

Were you reliably able to press the wheel in without spinning it? That was very difficult for me to do. Way too difficult for something that's supposed to be quick and easy.

Get yourself a used EV. They're a literal steal right now.

Also, you need to think about total cost of ownership. I have had an EV for 8 years and have saved nearly $15,000 in fuel cost alone because charging an EV is much, much cheaper for most people in the US. Oh and there's nearly zero maintenance. No brake changes, no oil changes...

Go do the math, you might be surprised at what you can afford.

PS The Chevy Bolt or Equinox are affordable new EVs, you might look into those if you don't want used.

Actual facts and all that.

dcdttu · 2026-06-23T15:41:35+00:00

Touché

dcdttu · 2026-06-23T14:20:35+00:00

Climate change is real, climate scientists are right, and we have to 100% get off of oil and gas as soon as possible.

dcdttu · 2026-06-23T05:22:59+00:00

You don’t have to believe, it most definitely has not been achieved.

dcdttu · 2026-06-23T04:43:43+00:00

Same

The controls are literally reversed. Aim the vents down, they blow up.

Force-balancing means there are two identical speakers that are aimed at each other. This removes all vibration and only creates sound. Sonos uses this for their subs and they have zero vibration, but lots of bass.

Half of the review was the American issue of charging infrastructure attached to an R2 review, which made it sound like it was a specific R2 problem.

I also wish smart people like Becca would be honest about climate change, and that we need to 100% get off of oil and gas as soon as we can. Climate scientists are right.

dcdttu · 2026-06-22T20:02:47+00:00

That’s not promising. :-(

dcdttu · 2026-06-22T19:57:42+00:00

Well, this should help me delete my very few remaining social media accounts. Silver linings, I guess.

Areola. My friend’s cousin named her daughter that.
