It sounds toe like tie author is really digging here to try and paint Rivian as mismanaged. I own an gen1 R1S and so I'm one of the people who won't get the latest upgrade for autonomous driving capabilities that the gen2 models get. But here is the thing, RJ hasn't been out there over promising this to us and under delivering. I don't know any gen1 owner who is either upset or somehow feels like we were expecting to get the upgrades that the gen2 vehicles are getting. And I fully expect that gen3 vehicles at some point in the future will be able to do things that gen2 can't. It's just how technology works. It would be crazy to me to think they were going to retrofit gen1 with the necessary hardware that gen2 has given how substantial of an overhaul they have done to the entire underpinnings of the car. It simply doesn't make any sense.

So as an R1 owner, I simply don't share any of the frustrations of the author.
