I recently took the @Rivian R2 on a 3,496 mile road trip.
Here's the truth about how it did 👇

I feel bad for the @WSUCougarFB players who have been historically let down by the coaching staff this season.
I just walked through a nearly $2m new construction house that was “setup for two EVs”. And had network cables run.
The EV setup was two NEMA 14-50 on 40amp breakers, and the network was Cat5e.
It's been an interesting week for the @Rivian Recap.
- Q3 numbers are in (with surprises)
- R2 "continued cost improvements"
- Is an in-car AI what people want?
- How the "extended warranty" isn't really that at all

Headed to Vegas next week, does anyone have a line on how to get access to @Waymo there?
Thanks to everyone to joined today!
Always a great time hanging with the @Rivian community.
The recording now has chapters if you missed it. ✌️
Will the first full quarter of R2 deliveries beat expectations?

I was more excited for new MacBook Pros than any other recent release from @Apple. Not including cellular is a bigger disappointment than the soul crushing prices.
I absolutely appreciate this, and I know some have a more direct channel with Rivian (as is the case here).
But I will say, Rivian sends 99.9% of us to a comms black box with a "don't call us, we'll call you" approach.
There is room to grow for everyone. 👊
Please do not share rumors and speculations without even checking with Rivian. The Volkswagen partnership is going incredibly well and the JV roadmap remains unchanged. VW ID1 is on-track to launch next year despite a very aggressive schedule and an innovative architecture with a single zonal computer. I have the chance to drive it over the weekend, and it's incredibly exciting to have such technology content at a low price point.
Back at it. 🫡
@Rivian's "Extended Warranty" isn't what you think.

The intentional targeting/spear by @BroncoSportsFB tonight is an example of players who should be expelled from the sport and have NIL revoked.
There should be zero tolerance for trying to injure other players. Zero.
These Robotaxi programs could be awesome for expanding awareness of what EVs can offer just through “butts in seats”.
Clearly the autonomy piece is different, but I hope it nudges at least a few more people to get a great EV.
It's @Rivian Recap time again.
- Rivian makes a key acquisition
- Expectations rise for Autonomy Day
- Cold weather concerns
- New info on Mind Robotics
- Details on next week's live stream

I use a publicly available app on @github to control my @neewerofficial studio lights.
The only issue is it had a memory leak that gobbles up my 64gb of RAM after about a day.
Launching @claudeai at the problem, and it fixed the issue in just a few minutes. 🙌
This is a weird timeline 😂
Even as a tech nerd, I don’t want my dishwasher to need WiFi for anything.
And yet, here we are.
Probably the wildest thing about this new AI driven world we are headed towards is this:
The only things left that will matter are taste and reps/experience.
Actual skill is quickly being flattened to zero.
It's truly bananas how quickly everything is changing.
