Rivian's R2, R3 and R3X launch event in 5 minutes

Ғылым және технология

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.

    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.
