stephenolson+FollowRivian’s Tailgate Just Got a Major UpgradeRivian’s cooking up a seriously cool new feature: a rear tailgate where the glass can open separately—and it’s all motorized. Imagine popping just the window to grab your stuff, or using a foot-swipe gesture to open the cargo area when your hands are full. Plus, they’re bringing back real buttons and knobs inside (finally!). The patent sketches even tease what the next-gen R1S could look like. This is next-level SUV convenience! #Cars #CarOwnership #Rivian10Share

stephenolson+FollowRivian Owners DIY Their Own Escape HandlesRivian drivers are getting creative after discovering the rear manual door release is hidden behind plastic trim—making it tough to escape in an emergency. Some are tying bright paracord to the release cable so it’s easy to grab if the electric doors fail. Rivian says the new R2 will fix this, but for now, owners are taking safety into their own hands. Would you mod your car like this? #Cars #CarOwnership #Rivian00Share
dalemiller+FollowRivian’s Tax Credit Hangover Hits HardRivian just took a major sales hit after losing those sweet federal tax credits—Q4 sales dropped a wild 31%! That’s over 4,000 fewer cars sold compared to last year. The whole year’s down 18% too, but Rivian says they saw it coming. The good news? They’re rolling out the new R2 in 2026, plus some cool hands-free driving tech. Fingers crossed that’s enough to win buyers back! #Cars #Rivian #EV10Share
Leah Pierce+FollowRivian’s Lidar Move Is a Game ChangerRivian is shaking up the EV world by making lidar—a super-advanced laser sensor—affordable for regular drivers. Their autonomy chief says the price drop is so wild, it’s now a ‘no-brainer’ for safer self-driving cars. Unlike Tesla’s camera-only vibe, Rivian’s going all-in with lidar, cameras, and radar for extra safety. Their new R2 SUV will be the first to get this tech, aiming for full self-driving and more choices under $50K. Big moves! #Cars #Rivian #EVs00Share
Kathleen Pham+FollowRivian’s Lidar Gamble: Smarter Than Tesla?Rivian just threw down the gauntlet in the autonomy race, rolling out its own AI chip and rooftop lidar for next-gen EVs. Unlike Tesla’s camera-only approach, Rivian is betting big on a multi-sensor stack—think custom silicon, radar, and that eye-catching lidar dome. Is this sensor-heavy strategy the future of safe self-driving, or just overkill? Would you trust a robotaxi with more sensors, or is software king? Let’s debate. #Tech #Rivian #AutonomousVehicles00Share
Michael Wilson+FollowRivian’s Wild 2030 Driverless Car BetRivian’s CEO just dropped a bombshell: by 2030, you might send your truck on errands with no one inside. Forget hands-free—he’s talking fully empty-cabin trips, like your SUV picking up groceries solo. Rivian’s all-in on autonomy, calling it the future of their business and a make-or-break for carmakers. If they pull this off, will you trust your car to drive itself while you chill at home? #Cars #Rivian #SelfDriving00Share
