They may not always travel in packs, but sightings of R2 are on the rise as hundreds of production-intent builds roll off our pilot line and hit the road for real world testing and final validation!

My buddy who works at Rivian confirms there was at least one R2 driving out in the desert testing, somewhere between SoCal and Vegas last week, about the same time I was out there driving.

I probably missed it since I was playing around on the random desert roads.

I only see four, but, I supposed R2 might travel in single file to hide their numbers.

What is the proper name for a group of Rivians in the wild?

I vote for a "s00n" of Rivians...

End Q2 is the safe goal and I am thinking they have a Q1 goal in mind if things go to plan. Hopefully reviews and configuration by the end of the year.

I hope some of these R2 spend the coming winter in colder climates for day-to-day testing.
