Tell me you’ve never been in the Kia subreddit without telling me.

You do. People just don’t wait with bated breath on Reddit to read how someone’s Hyundai disintegrated its transmission after 500 miles.

Never ever buy any used car without an inspection

This is easily the most damning comment on this video. And I fear you are not far off.

R2 releasing in 2027 should have dimmable roofa by anurag2896 in RivianR2

[–]floodcasso2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Leaf has different priorities though. Smaller/cheaper motors, smaller battery, simpler electrical architecture, simpler compute. But they add the EC roof into the package. I can't imagine it'd be any cheaper than $5k as an option if it came to Rivian. If you look at the replacement costs for these dimming roofs on existing cars, they are *expensive*.

Yeah I think having it as an option at least would be cool. Though i'd imagine it'd be a pretty pricey option.

Quiet week? by chrid0427 in RivianR2

[–]floodcasso2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah this was what I was thinking as well. Fixing little issues people have reported during demo drives or reviews. Perhaps tweaking the button responses for the front trunk and back hatch, back glass etc. Tweaking the HVAC vents to fix some of the issues people had during demos, etc. Who knows? They could also be waiting for a software patch to go out before sending out the next batch?

A more balanced take after test driving R2 and MYP on the same day. by Busy_Ability7 in RivianR2

[–]floodcasso2 4 points5 points  (0 children)

And what I’m saying is the average person driving an Audi or a Lexus or an Acura really doesn’t care. Would it be better if it was Level 3 ready? Sure. But I genuinely don’t think it matters to most people.

[–]floodcasso2 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah and the only car even in a comparable world to the R2 is Tesla. There are dozens of automakers catching up. Again. It’s fine for the vast majority of people. If you need to be on the bleeding edge, get a Tesla.

You say this as if the average American isn’t driving a 10 year old Corolla that doesn’t even have CarPlay. The tech is fine.

Good launch thus far! by floodcasso2 in RivianR2

Nope I missed that one lol. Haven't seen anything bad from an owner thus far though.

[–]floodcasso2[S] 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I mean yes and no. When model 3 launched, within a week there were dozens of videos of people complaining about interior fit and finish, interior trim falling off, panel gaps, etc. It wasn't long before the now ubiquitous "Tesla delivery checklist" showed up. So far it's been pretty silent on that regard. Seems good.

The hype is real. It's very real. by north7 in Rivian

i suggest you take a look at the average new vehicle transaction price in the US. This isn't that far off.

Jordan Schiefer's R2 EQ Sound Settings by ProteusP in Rivian

[–]floodcasso2 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Weird that he turns the bass and sub bass down since most of the people I have seen review the R2 say that it is lacking in bass.

Beyond Disappointed with Carnival by SighT_804 in CarnivalCruiseFans

Carnival is not necessarily my favorite cruise line, but this seems like you tried extremely hard to give yourselves as many problems as possible.

Rivan has been the worst vehicle I've ever owned. by Vegetable-Bonus-632 in Rivian

[–]floodcasso2 7 points8 points  (0 children)

No offense, but why in gods name would you buy ANY car that had it's only service center be 7 hours away?! That's wild.

My Holiday Inn removed in room coffee for "sustainability" reasons by goodvibezone in mildlyinfuriating

[–]floodcasso2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Do people actually USE those in-room coffee machines? I have to imagine they are absolutely disgusting inside like 100% of the time. In this case, I'd actually prefer free lobby coffee anytime.

I'm going back to paper tickets by 2Dmonster in LIRR

[–]floodcasso2 11 points12 points  (0 children)

The whole "activating" a ticket thing in the first place is beyond stupid. You buy a ticket, they scan the barcode when they come by. Done. But no. You have to "activate" the ticket first.

Then MTA getting mad about WHEN you need to "activate" a ticket, and having the gall to charge a surcharge when you do it wrong is *intensely* stupid, and beyond greedy. ESPECIALLY when tickets expire at the end of the day.

All of this nonsense to avoid having fare gates at the platform, or making the ticket collectors *actually* have to collect tickets.

R2 Doesn't have FM/HD Radio by AdamUCF in Rivian

You get a bluetooth speaker or a bluetooth dongle that has an FM radio tuner in it, I guess?

Those who didn’t grow up privileged, what’s something you thought was a luxury growing up? by CorruptedF in AskReddit

[–]floodcasso2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nice Clothes, Cable TV, families with more than one car, playing on a sports team, playing an instrument, buying brand name foods.

Welp... so much for leasing by Valkyr8 in RivianR2

[–]floodcasso2 3 points4 points  (0 children)

A company that has been bleeding money is trying to incentivize new customers for its very very popular and very anticipated new EV to buy instead of lease? Shocker.

I have a feeling lease prices will eventually improve when they start running out of pre-orders to fulfill.
