The tombstone one was indeed a CTR test. I already pulled it from the test though and selected a different winner.

Is #Rivian in trouble?
They have roughly 18 months to fly, die, or buy.

I just passed 400k views on the channel in approximately 4 months. Doing a YouTube channel has been one of the more rewarding things I've done creatively, ever.

This one took longer than I expected given how much footage there was to sift through.
But the 5,230 mile #Rivian road trip is now live!
The good, the bad, and the UGLY.

While the options were sparse, the units themselves delivered great power.

Is #Rivian waiting on this update to #Apple CarKey? Could that explain why it’s been over 1-year since the launch of Gen2 and we still don’t have CarKey support??

It’s a beautiful place most of the time, but it’s drop dead stunning this time of year.

Impressed by #TheWeeknd concert in Seattle last night. Probably the best production I’ve seen. Two Swifties in our group said it was better than either the 1989 or Eras concerts. It was an absolute slam dunk.

The latest edition of the Rivian Recap Newsletter just dropped with the best links from the week.
New model year, new trim levels, new ports and more!
This was the most protein packed drop to date 💪

Limestone and Red Canyon are adios. Red wasn’t super popular so that’s less surprising but Limestone is kind of shocking.

What does one of the best indie iOS developers think of #Rivian software aesthetic and stability?
Find out in my latest video with @selig.bsky.social to find out!

All new #Rivian custom orders come with NACS standard (aka 2026 model year).
Also if you select any of the dark wheels on a dual-motor large/max it bundles it with the darkout package upgrade.
I find it a bit ironic that darkout showcase uses Limestone. RIP.
After some seat time yesterday on launch day for the 2026 #Rivian Gen2 Quad-Motor, I have some thoughts.
Too much, or not enough?

Network coverage and rock solid reliability make the Supercharger network the GOAT.
But I agree that layout is ultra optimized for small form factor, back-in Tesla cars only.
We need more sites optimized for different form factors and charge port locations. Ideally for towing as well!
Unfortunately the new #Rivian wall charger with NACS is equipped ONLY for NACS. No adapter like the #Tesla universal which remains the go-to recommendation.

Being covered was a very nice bonus I wish more charging stops had.
Is #Ionna the future of EV fast charging? And can it beat the #Tesla experience for #Rivian owners?
On our recent road trip, I had to swing by a station to preview what we can expect when plug-and-charge rolls out later this year.

The #Rivian space in U-Village is officially open here in Seattle.
Right next door to the #Tesla showroom. It’s an upgrade over the temporary pop-up but I still liked the original space the best.
There is room inside for two vehicles given the bump out in the back.
