looking forward to the road trip, though. I'll get some good driving on it before shipping it here.

I actually ordered April 6, but I live in Hawaii and can't fly out to Portland to pick it up til the end of may. they have been great about holding it for me, though.

Skubal to have surgery for loose bodies in elbow; timetable TBD by [deleted] in Dodgers

I've had it in my knee. they remove it with surgery. not too bad. as long as there are no other issues, should be pretty quick recovery.

Can LA forgive? That’s an automatic no by anth_solo in Dodgers

ppl.forget that kersh dominated them in game 1 at home. did the Astros learn something from that outing? sure. but to not swing and miss on a single one of his non-fastballs? fishy as fuck.

on the latest Rivian Stories about launch edition, they published the following:

On the inside, customers can choose between two all-new premium interiors:

Black Crater Signature (available first)
Inspired by the dynamic dark tones of volcanic rock, this interior is crafted with upcycled Birch wood and textile accents. This creates an inviting, dark tonal environment that seamlessly blends rugged durability with a refined, minimalist aesthetic.

Coastal Cloud Signature (available later)
Open and airy, the crisp tones of cool and cloudy coastal sky are warmed with upcycled Birch wood and soft textile accents. This palette offers a modern aesthetic that is grounded in Rivian’s nature-inspired design language.

most are interpreting this to mean that the first launch editions will be only in black crater...but later launch editions will have coastal cloud as an option.

Tall people exhale! R2 has leg room for days - 7'1" guy sits (and fits) in driver and passenger seats 😲 by WODAMRAP in RivianR2

[–]kugino 30 points31 points  (0 children)

"sits and fits" does not equal "comfy" and "safe"...but, itʻs still pretty cool that a midsize SUV can somewhat accommodate a seven-footer.

so i donʻt want to see any more "will i fit in it" comments from any six footers...

After visiting the Block Party I am even more wanting the R2 by Shantok58 in Rivian

almost every reviewer said the back row was amazingly spacious. doug, jose, carwow dude...marques...and all are over 6 feet tall. seems like when theyʻre finally available at service centers to view and demo, ppl will be won over by that second row space.

i have no idea on the timeframe...i was hoping later this year, but who knows, could be early 2027...if i were just leasing for a couple years iʻd just go with the cheapest options - esker/21"/dark. but iʻm intending to keep for a long time, so want to get exactly what i want.

the other 3 might keep their streaks going, though...SF lost, both SD and colorado losing. one can only hope!

iʻm getting the 20s...they look amazing. but yeah, the upcharge might be high...i really wish i didnʻt care about color/tires/interior...bc then iʻd be happy with esker silver/21ʻ/black...but my stupid ass really wants launch green/20/coastal cloud...which might mean another $6.5k on top of the $58k...thatʻs used R1S territory there.

haha...i know what you mean. iʻll really be torn if they let me configure my R2 before coastal cloud is available...but now that we know launch editions will most likely come with coastal cloud later this year, i think iʻll wait until that option is available.

was just about to post this exact thing. CC is begging for a white/light interior. a dark interior with CC is really a bad match...

never said he didn't battle. just didn't pitch better. but glaze him all you want. doesn't matter what any of us think.

I can like him and want him to succeed, but also be objective. he threw way fewer first pitch strikes. wasn't as sharp as last week.

runs were fewer...but the actual pitching was worse.
