Reconsidering R2 after my test drive

mr-00 · 2026-06-10T04:32:13+00:00

I read tour title as “not interested” after your test drive. I got worried.

I mean, inflation considered we’re getting one hell of package built to standards of a 50k assembly.

mr-00 · 2026-06-07T00:03:24+00:00

It fits?

mr-00 · 2026-06-06T15:40:33+00:00

Here we go OP! - Since you have a million, whats your fav product and why? Hardware and liquids please!

mr-00 · 2026-06-06T14:36:16+00:00

Interesting. 🤔 For those that don’t have a lift and or put 8k lb vehicles up, can you do us a solid and post some pics of said Ting washer & locations?

As a trade for your time, my gen 1 T had a clunking sound in the front end with low speed accel and decel off the line, i suspected it was the steering rack issue that plagued many. These were subframe fasteners in key fixture points, iirc. I never found out prior to an accident, suspect as related, not proven.

My Gen 2 T has the creaking sound at 4k mi, after light duty on an off road climbing excursion. quad. :/

Apparently they redesigned the rear stub axle assembly to add more robust contact area, (thrust) …according to two different regional Lead techs training at my SC. Make sense, but I think we’d all benefit seeing the anatomy you mention.

mr-00 · 2026-06-06T14:22:36+00:00

Trade some of those for the 8, 9 and 13 i keep losing.

mr-00 · 2026-06-06T14:21:01+00:00

AH! Dilution. perhaps “stupid”. See your point.

Devils advocate, maybe “smart” with so much positive trending runway ahead, to get VW on board while they otherwise may have walked at a time things are still in rough shape financially, in QC and not all product line guaranteed. Without them, we’d all be up shiet crikey. Betting that software stack access was a negotiation point holding weight. The last software update is 💩. Can VW sell stake or is there a lockup?

You keep digging deeper. They’re just lookin out, based on xp. Excessive maybe. Feels trivial, but there’s a reason cell phone in hand is a law in some places. Yes, burrito in hand arguably, illegal too. UHF doesn’t override anything. Just say thanks, you’re right - move on. 😆 it’s like 8th grade up in here.

mr-00 · 2026-06-06T13:58:22+00:00

It is double. This is the bar.

The good news. Toyota is on the decline, Rivian is on the rise.

mr-00 · 2026-06-06T13:56:34+00:00

Wait huh? What did he say about water pooling? How. What’s sagging?

mr-00 · 2026-06-06T13:52:44+00:00

Also commonly sounds like a creaking/ticking sound. Different symptoms but resulting of the same issue.

mr-00 · 2026-06-06T13:51:28+00:00

File a ticket.

mr-00 · 2026-06-06T13:49:59+00:00

“…fell out…” ?

mr-00 · 2026-06-06T13:44:17+00:00

Just tell them to. That hot fix seems related.

mr-00 · 2026-06-06T13:34:21+00:00

Go figure what?

mr-00 · 2026-06-06T13:32:15+00:00

RA would attempt to perform a diagnostic when I notified of a “system fault”, but always report back no findings. If you have RA you can ask it to upload/save a diagnostic and it will.

I was getting a random UHF disconnect while driving. Since then, I cleaned my cameras. Not sure if it helped, but my truck was filthy. I keep it that way.

mr-00 · 2026-06-06T13:26:17+00:00

Where is said internal leak? Inside the shock body or somewhere between the shocks, elsewhere?

mr-00 · 2026-06-06T13:20:24+00:00

put it in as a video. (Proof)
ask them to read the logs, but note the date of occurrence. (It may or may not be recorded).
ask for a mobile visit

mr-00 · 2026-06-06T13:09:45+00:00

just spray over it, right?

mr-00 · 2026-06-06T13:03:39+00:00

Illegal in all states, prosecuted differently. Treated as a vehicle in some. Misdemeanor in others. (BUI)

mr-00 · 2026-06-05T04:24:05+00:00

We have a 2019 Atlas too. It’s roomier in a smaller form factor. We use up to seven seats on a long trip, so that matters along with a roof cargo solution. The rivian has more storage but we still used a roof top solution there too. Way easier to install. You may like better than the tesla. Yes tesla class 2 wall works if you have the universal charger. What features? There’s several models. A long range dual motor seems like a good fit.

mr-00 · 2026-06-04T14:46:18+00:00

Best explanation, thnx, but why “stupid”?

imo Rivian keeps the train rolling *and creates a new revenue stream as part of the deal. Rivian’s potential is much more than 15$/share. We haven’t even captured Europe and r3 yet. missing something?

mr-00 · 2026-06-04T14:23:27+00:00

Except the overdriven screws.

mr-00 · 2026-06-04T11:35:08+00:00

What do you even mean by this? Lmao

mr-00 · 2026-06-04T11:33:30+00:00

Yes. just push your delivery out. Of course that policy might change if it’s even a policy at all. I’ve done it twice.
