Doug's review was 75% with 236 miles remaining, so 314 at a full charge.

I’m ok with that. I was worried only the slower variants would break 300 miles but thats not the case.

3 years into ownership on R1 and at full capacity when new the 314 range was real world 250 miles, I’m now down to 284
Max range which is more like 220 real world or less, they really need an option over 400 miles which should be 325-350 real world miles of range, not every model just as an option for those that need/ want it. I can barely make my drive from DFW to Bentonville Arkansas and have been almost stranded due to the range limits and severely limited charging options on that route. Since this doesn’t apply to everyone that’s why I’m saying hopefully a 400+ range option will exist

Interesting to look at the paint colors on the door jams of the different R2s in each video…

Doug: El Cap Grey
ZacksJerryRig: Storm Blue?

MotorTrend guy said 300+ miles "in all trims", for whatever that is worth.

All of the accessories Doug showed look amazing. Cannot wait for the external electrical adaptor. Will make camping that much better without having a cable dangling through a window.

Really??? I feel like I get close to stated range except for certain circumstances…and my range still shows the exact same as when new after 2 years. Yours only shows 284 when charged to 100%?

Guessing R2 D2 (dual motor) launch edition comes in at $60-65K and then drops with Rivian incentives in 6-12 months as production ramps.

That would be slightly above a Model Y Performance, but it's a new vehicle and Rivian can/will soak up every dollar from early purchasers.

I doubt we see the $45K single motor base trim until Q4 2027 or maybe even 2028 as I suspect there will be adequate demand to match factory capacity for dual-motor variants through the end of 2027. All speculation.

BTW, I think the higher pricing vis-a-vis Model Y is why no pricing was released as of yet and why there is no configurator. Rivian wants people to engage with the product first, then hit them with the price hammer later. Smart marketing if you know pricing will be a net negative vs. competitors.

And with All-Terrain tires, to boot.

We'll they better step up to the plate, RIVN is up 2% so far so in my world money talks. Yes, range is important, but sales is what matter and we'll only know in about 6 months or more. The lower the costs, the more likely folks will buy/lease.

I'm a little surprised that this much lighter vehicle has nearly the same hp as the dual motor performance R1S, but slightly worse 0-60 time. I'm wondering if Rivian is still sandbaggging that number until actual release, or if they're just trying to leave extra room to push people for the tri-motor.

That's what MotorTrend Car and Driver alluded to.
