I love the whimsical side of Rivian, especially around Halloween. They have the best merch

EVs are awesome. I have a Hyundai Ioniq 5, which has a range of 300-350 miles. I charge it at home, which is convenient, and it costs me about $10 to completely recharge the battery. (84 kWh at 12 cents a kWh) Compare that to a similar size gas car, at 25-30 mpg, which would cost $54 to fill up.

Rivian has to reached out to me and informed me that as of right now, only 14 R2 vehicles are being impacted. If anything changes, I’ll update you!

The feedback on the iOS app has been overwhelmingly positive. I'll be prioritizing an MCP server as well as connector for ChatGPT, Claude, Muse and Grok Bot based on feedback. The Android app will follow soon after. Thank you all for the support!

Great that this is just an OTA fix - and that Lucid has shown they can rapidly deploy software fixes - but Lucid just continues to lose trust. They really need to focus on stability and demonstrate to customers and prospective buyers that they can be trusted, because it's just not there right now.

So happy 6STET9:T2 (are we doing this?) is back and this was my favorite episode yet. I didn't realize MCR is from nearby in Jersey, and the dive into what Jersey-ness entails (a blend of NYC hardness and suburban nostalgia and yearning) is so spot on. So bummed I missed MCR in concert.

If you've been waiting for Forest Green and / or Coastal Cloud on your R2, looks like you have the option now and won't have to wait much longer. I figured this was coming since Rivian had a FG R2 on display at the factory earlier this month.

This is cool and I respect the move to help manage the various charging apps, but with Plug & Charge, I'm feeling this pain greatly decrease recently. Is this still a major problem?

000

EVentureFamily @dadontherunblog.com · 18/08/2026

Rivian might want to follow suit with the under-promise / over-delivery on range estimates after the flack they've received on R2. Or, blame the EPA.
