For years, Rivian has been promising to make a smaller, more affordable electric SUV that will sit alongside its pricier R1T and R1S vehicles, and that day is finally here. The R2 won’t go into production until 2026, but when it does it will come with an estimated range of 330 miles, a 0-60mph time of three seconds, and a starting price of $45,000. We also got a look at the R3 the R2’s “sibling,” and the R3X, the R3’s performance trim which has a wider stance and smaller crossover shape. Here’s everything you missed from the launch event. #Cars #EVs #Transportation

Driven model 3 and model Y for a combined 160k miles and I’ll say that the “cruise control” is terrible. Lacking radar tech, in my experience, Tesla is plagued with phantom breaking which is a terrible thing to experience. I don’t even use it anymore.

@vikram.SumerSingh 2 ай бұрын

@@marshallcray completely agree. After my second instance of phantom braking on a busy freeway, I have stopped using Autopilot. Sometimes hubris of a successful leader (Elon) comes in the way of acknowledging that yes we’re wrong about only using camera based tech and we need to go back until we find an alternative.

Please put the charge port on the rear left. Mach E videos abound with people having trouble using Tesla chargers because of their incompatible placement. Ford is already saying they'd fix that. Having a standard for this would be very helpful. It would also be useful for those of us who installed home chargers for Tesla when we upgrade to Rivian.

@318ishonk 2 ай бұрын

When they announced their last vehicle (R1S/T in 2018) they promised deliveries in 2020 and a price of ca. $60k. They were 3 years late and $20k over the original price when they shipped the first vehicles in 2023. How long might it really take for the R2 to be delivered and at what price? 2028 and $65k? And will Rivian still exist at that date, with their cash burning rate and low revenue?
