Out of all things I'm actually surprised they went straight to custom silicon, but gotta respect that decision. It's likely the only way to compete with Tesla right now.

Gotta hand it to Rivian. Solid progress. Not having those features is why I didn’t buy one before. These advances make it a bit more attractive.

That all sounds great but with CARIAD now being involved at Rivian I won’t hold my breath on that roadmap being executed.

Rivian coming for Teslas crown? I honestly think Rivians are unattractive. Like if a jeep and scion had a drunken tryst. Haven’t seen the interior before though.

But I’d be glad if somebody was competitive enough to force Elon to behave again.

acquiring steradian semiconductors was a quite good move.

Is the paint job supposed to resemble R2-D2?

Yeah, but does it have CarPlay yet?

I'm getting real tired of seeing Silicon Valley reinvent trains.

RIVN doing quite well today.

If only they had a good designer. They have the ugliest frames.

They also like to indulge in massive post purchase UX changes so if you like it now there is a good chance you won't in a year.
