@RivianRuckus @Lrawsignal Hah, more like loaners. Showing off my service visits. 👑

[Chad Moran @ChadMoran]

This guy. Showing off with his gloveboxes.

[Dominic @DomDoesMedia]

Amazing news. The R2 can fit all my gear. I just need to figure out my radio situation that may stay in the glove box and power. Also the magnets stick unlike the R1T.

@wendishen99 A delicious night followed by one of sitting in a small room.

[Chad Moran @ChadMoran]

Interesting thing happened just now. I was working away on a thread with Opus 5, big context window usage but my limits were chipping away very slowly. Switched to Fable 5 and it completely obliterated my entire session limit and 30% of my weekly Fable limit in a few turns.

@Bfklin So, the influencers are, not Rivian? Of course people are going to compare it to the Y, they're pretty direct competitors. I don't think Rivian is explicitly doing anything.

[Chad Moran @ChadMoran]

This is really interesting. Feels like it’s purely about acceleration/speed rather then being a true performance vehicle.

[Kyle Conner @itskyleconner]

Kind of weird

Also has a 2.9ft longer stopping distance from 75mph when compared to Model Y Standard RWD

@Bfklin How are they focusing on MY?

[Chad Moran @ChadMoran]

@NevrEnoughX This happened to me with an ambulance that was half a mile behind me. It kept pulling over but the ambulance was just going at traffic speed for some reason.

[Chad Moran @ChadMoran]

@Josh_Harrison__ @Rivian Congrats!

[Chad Moran @ChadMoran]

@Lrawsignal The number of times I've left my sunglasses in another R1 though...

[Chad Moran @ChadMoran]

@gregm12 @Out_of_Spec @itskyleconner @RivianTrackr Same.

@AlejandroEV66 Germans being Germans

[Chad Moran @ChadMoran]

@AlejandroEV66 Minus no regen braking 🤣

[Chad Moran @ChadMoran]

@srharris22 Great HR control 👏🏻

[Chad Moran @ChadMoran]

@Bfklin That's a little like saying an M3 is heavier than a 328i so it stops slower.

[Chad Moran @ChadMoran]

@Bfklin That's the reason, but not the excuse. If you're gonna label it performance it better at least beat the base model. 🤷🏻‍♂️

[Chad Moran @ChadMoran]

@future_yas I haven't driven it without attachments but on my recent road trip I averaged about 1.8 mi/kWh with roof recovery boards, awning, a bed mounted RTT and AT tires.

[Chad Moran @ChadMoran]

Given the charging performance I was hoping for better numbers. Sounds like this is nowhere near EPA number at 80 mph (not expected) but it's further off then I thought it would be.

@koalafiedtesla Careful, you might be inviting PCS failures.

[Chad Moran @ChadMoran]

@Michael_L_Rauch @Porsche Most German decision and nail in the coffin for me even considering this next year.

[Chad Moran @ChadMoran]

@SnazzyLabs Makes me a little sad, I was hopeful they had pulled out some magic trick with those EPA numbers. Seems like the aero hit is real.

[Chad Moran @ChadMoran]

@Lrawsignal I don't know if we've seen many 80 mph tests?
