The Taycan is designed to accommodate people who have only ever driven a gas car and make them feel familiar with it, but also giving me advantages. What's the balance like in this car? Is it mostly optimizing for what EVs do best or do you think about like, I think gas car people would like this? You referenced Regen, that's a big one. We don't have a Regen off. It's an interesting question though, because it's really simulating something that's not mechanically here. Like you're simulating a torque converter, which is sort of a funny.
This week we have an interview with RJ Scaringe, the CEO of Rivian! He stopped by the Studio to chat with Marques about the new R1S and the future of the company as a whole. They go over the adventure network, the quirky features of the R1S, and the upcoming R2 platform as well. As a bonus, this entire episode was recorded inside of an Rivian R1S. We hope you enjoy!
