R2 spied on the road?

[Tango45]

Ok, maybe false alarm. The source did say it looked a lot smaller than my car (R1S). Ill make sure he takes a LOT more photos if he spots it again.

I'm going to need your insurance information so my therapist knows who to bill...

License plate is the constant/clue. Not R2. Not today, fake news.

Definitely too new. Still would have a 90 day temporary tag on it.

whatever it is, it looks very bouncy

I was referring to plate size. It's a constant regardless of car. Can take a frame and use it as the measuring stick, to determin width and height. It's a R1, probably to test OTAs.

Just an R1S. No way we see anything on the road before the official reveal.

But what if it's a smaller R2 wrapped INSIDE of an R1 shell!

It looks like an R1T with a cap on the back.

Tesla commissioned a special wrap for Cybertruck prototypes to make them look (vaguely) like F150s. How should Rivian disguise R2 prototypes?

Link in case you missed the F150 wrap

I think it's most likely a R1, but why would it be wrapped like that this long after launch? Even if it's a test mule for OTA update or the standard range battery pack, there's still no reason to disguise.

Yes it would if it is used for test and evaluation duty. Anything from software to hardware. It's owned by the manufacturer they can do whatever they want. There are no laws governing that. It's already wrap since lord knows when. Why waste employee time removing it?

Been a while since I’ve seen a good Xzibit meme - well done.

I saw that R1S 2 years ago driving around Irvine as well. I had dash cam footage I posted but can't recall where I posted it.

Unrelated to the video, but what if the R2 looks almost exactly like the R1S but shrunk down 30%? Think bronco vs bronco sport.

But those (Broncos) look nothing alike…
