It was an amazing EV Meetup we hosted today at @ionnaofficial.bsky.social in NJ alongside @evchargingstations.bsky.social and other EV enthusiasts. We had three R2s and Lucid Gravities and a huge range of amazing EVs Come hang out next time! #EVMeetup #CarsAndCoffee #EVs

Interesting considering I haven't noticed any issues with our Gen 1 R1S though others have been reporting lag and software glitches. Our R2 has been way more solid with the latest update. No screen issues and the phone key has been perfect. This is the power of OTA updates

FYI for Ray-Bans and other sunglasses with anti-IR coatings. FWIW my Goodrs work fine with it.

Rivian buys startup to turn 400,000 daily clips into 3D sims

🍂 Gen 1 R1S, Vermont, peak foliage, no kids. Plus: does the Gen 1 still hold up in 2026 — or is it Gen 2 / R2 time? www.youtube.com/watch?v=K8OP... #Rivian #R1S #R2 #RivianR2

Great read from @mims.bsky.social about taking a cheap EV through states that aren't exactly bursting at the seams with public chargers—and why it's easier to do now than many folks think: www.wsj.com/business/aut...

How am I just finding out about this now? This group is tracking all of the Fisker Oceans of the NYC livery cab fleet. Amazing that they are at 90% of them spotted now

this is a small acquisition by the looks of it but i do wonder if we're about to see a run of roll-ups in the AV space over the next year

I'm one of the five. Appreciate Roamer keeping a close eye on this

Looking forward to co-hosting the event at IONNA Mountain Lakes on Saturday with Tom and getting real EV driver feedback to share with IONNA while also scoring some discounted charging and SWAG! Come join us!

Redwood and Rivian set to expand their EV battery recycling partnership

Rivian now #2 US EV brand, up from #10, as Big Auto marginalizes itself

Rivian continues to buck the overall EV trend thanks to both commercial vehicles and R2. R1 is down considerably, likely a mix of soft EV demand overall and more prospective buyers moving to the more affordable R2. Great info and analysis from @riviantrackr.com on this.

Our Rivian R2 is already in for service — the early-production recall. Here's how Rivian handled it, our time with an R1 loaner, and whether reservation holders should worry: www.youtube.com/watch?v=xA13... #Rivian #R2 #RivianR2 #CarsOfBluesky

RJ Scaringe said at TechCrunch Disrupt that future Rivians will run AI agents from companies like Anthropic. No timeline yet, but Rivian is pointing to Autonomy & AI Day in December for more. riviantrackr.com/news/rivian-...

This is a sweet design. I wish the logo popped a little more but I like the subtlety

👻 Rivian R2 just got Ghostbusters mode (gone Nov 2 when the license expires!) — plus a real in-car assistant, finally. I demo both: www.youtube.com/watch?v=VdI5... #Rivian #R2 #ghostbusters #halloween

What it's ACTUALLY like driving with a Rivian club: fall foliage, convoy cruises, and apple orchards near New Paltz with the Rivian Club of NJ. 🍂⚡️ New video live now! www.youtube.com/watch?v=z9pg... #rivian #rivianclubs

Amazon’s Rivian vans are finally getting AWD and a bigger battery. riviantrackr.com/news/rivian-...

Rivian really outdid themselves with this Ghostbusters theme for its Halloween mode

30 days. 3,500+ miles. Our whole family reviews the Rivian R2 — the good, the glitchy, and whether it's the best family EV. New video is live: www.youtube.com/watch?v=mgV1... #Rivian #R2 #RivianR2 #Evs

It's either a very fast ramp or I've moved up the deployment queue. We already got the update in the R1S. R2 is unclear as it's currently in service mode at the SC

Thank you for joining our fifth year of fear, The haunting is ready to shift into gear, Find the new app with a ghost and a slash, And turn your drive into a Halloween bash, Trick-or-treat mode answers once and for all, The spookiest question: "Who ya gonna call?"

Porsche has confirmed there will be no more gas-powered Boxster or Cayman. The gas versions went out of production in 2025. CEO Michael Leiters says the 911 will “never be electric.” We'll see... 🔗 https://electrek.co/...

Rivian's 2026.36 update for R1 adds Gmail to Rivian Assistant, remote Pet Comfort in the app, and Electric Era chargers in nav. Gen 2 gets smarter UHF attention warnings, and doors no longer auto lock when you shift out of Park with the driver door open. riviantrackr.com/2026-36/

Rivian Assistant lands on R2 with the October OTA. I'm curious how it feels on R2's hardware since it can run a local LLM, and I expect it to be snappier on my R2 than on my R1S. riviantrackr.com/news/rivian-...

Maybe the least surprising quarterly sales record of all time but still important for Rivian to see such early success for the R2 SUV. Wish we had raw numbers, but given how flat R1 sales have been, easy to read between the lines here.

I can't wait to see what Rivian will announce and show at Autonomy & AI day this year. Last year was huge

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

IONNA tops 180 charging sites, with discounts for these EV drivers

hell yeah

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!

It would be foolish not to go for this! I might have to wait to see if the Shiffern one ever goes up

First Borealis and Forest Green R2 deliveries are showing up on Roamer! 💜💚 See which colors are getting VINs and reaching owners in the R2 tracker: rivianroamer.com/r2

1 month & thousands of miles with the Rivian R2! ⚡️ Covering the biggest surprises (Universal Hands-Free, cabin quietness, roll-down rear window) and real flaws (mid-drive screen reboots, Samsung Phone-as-a-Key bugs, real-world vs EPA range). 📽️ Full review: youtu.be/c89FhQBEN7M #Rivian #RivianR2 #EV

More bad news for the ID.Buzz in the US as it gets pushed back another model year (at least).

Absolutely incredible. The next generation of EVs are going to be insane. Yes, this tech will make it here one way or another

Another recall that is not only software addressable, but already rolled out to the majority of customers.

I've been saying we need an EV convertible roadster for a while now and it looks like Porsche is going there. Just in time for my mid-life crisis

We are so laughably far behind. This is insane stuff and completely changes the game. EV trips will be shorter than you can run to the rest room very soon

Porsche's upcoming Boxster EV has been spotted Supercharging at a Tesla Supercharger in Carson, California. The prototype appears to have a single NACS charging port at the rear center. ICYMI: https://electrek.co/...

I received word that a large number of Rivian R2 invites are going out today, so if you're waiting for your invite to build, keep an eye on your inbox!

The company announced that its R2 vehicles achieved a 50 percent lifetime carbon reduction as compared to the R1 lineup. www.theverge.com/transportati...

I suspect gas prices have helped, but the LE is a very strong value

BMW begins iX3 deliveries early in the US as demand surges

Is the Rivian R2 a "mini R1S" or something much better for daily driving? We brought both out to test the real-world tech, storage tweaks, and charging performance. Check out the full video comparison and my recommendation. 🎬 youtu.be/88lVzbKsoa8 #Rivian #R2 #R1S #RivianR2 #EVs

Wow. And yet absolute radio silence here in the US on orders (including mine I was still holding on to)

The number one Rivian R2 feature people have been worried and asking me about is right around the corner.
