Did we lose the pop out rear windows?

I don't have time to watch until after work. Does the R2 have a power frunk? I remember RJ closing it manually during the intro event.

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%?

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

I haven’t seen people reporting a drop like that. Do you have any reason that might explain the drop, like tire changes, weather, etc?

MKBHD showed the range in his video. The car had 83% charge…my basic mathing indicates 3.1 miles per 1% of charge, or a 310 mile range for the Dual AWD launch edition. Right in line with the 306 mile range in the Model Y Performance that this launch edition seems aimed at In specs and pricing.

I have to assume they will launch a lower output dual motor later in the year that will get more range. Something directly comparable to the normal Model Y Long Range AWD.

This reporting from Inside EVs is a bit different. He says:

The dual-motor R2 prototype that I drove is close to what the vehicle’s launch trim will be, Rivian officials said. It packs more than 300 miles of range, 656 horsepower, 609 lb-ft of torque, and a 0 to 60 mph time of 3.6 seconds.

This is the only place I have seen that the over 300 applies to the AWD version.

If true, two people will be sad

Power open, manual close.

Yes. And powered cargo bars.

 

[RWerksman]

Yes. And powered cargo bars.

Yep - Doug was talking about having to connect the tent to the NACS to 120V adapter. Looks like any power to them or to the roof is gonzo.

I haven't followed the R2 very closely but it looks like Rivian knocked it out of the park. I'm very happy with our R1S, and we need the 3rd row, but if we only needed 2 rows, I would be thrilled with this. All the interior feature fine tuning (gloveboxes X2!, better door storage, steering wheel ...'knobs'?), interior packaging improvements (the trunk looks like they used every inch), looks like they paid attention to a ton of details and those things matter a lot in day to day livability.

They're going to sell a ton of these!

What I would really like to know if this is the Dual Motor AWD with Performance option. It having yellow accents, being a launch edition, and power suggests that it is. If this is 656hp, the base AWD Dual motor is probably a good bit less. A model Y Performance is 510hp I believe. This looks to be 200-300lb more

Can't wait to get clarification on it.

Yup my battery is down to 119kwh capacity, service appt next week to find out what’s going on

It’s going to the service center to find out what’s going on, I’m down like 15% and under 50k miles

my efficiency hasn’t changed my total battery capacity is the problem

 

[Hereforthesnacks]

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

lol come come. So now all of a sudden the range on the dash is 100% accurate and don’t have any recent diving habit bias?

Let’s wait till the specs come out. Then knock of 15% for real world range.

(I’m being snarky because you always take it well )

Hope it’s a quick and painless fix for you, I’d be interested to hear what they say if you want to share afterwards. Good luck

Different batteries in the R2 so this is an unknown - 4695.

R2 will be able to use the Tesla Superchargers just as easy as the Telsa Model Y. The charge port is located on the rear driver’s side (left-rear) so it matches the design of Tesla V3 supercharger pedestal locations. V4 are less of an issue with longer cables and position. The R2 uses a 400-volt architecture, and in the context of the current Tesla Supercharger network, this is actually an advantage over other cars with a 800-volt architecture. AFAIK, Rivian has integrated Tesla’s network into its software, allowing for “Plug & Charge” functionality where you simply plug in and the billing is handled automatically through your Rivian account.
