Future R2
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.
Yes, reading between the lines...the launch edition gets the performance dual motor option with the standard dual motor, tri motor and single motor coming later. This seems a good choice for Rivian, as there is no additional hardware costs for the P since its a simple software unlock, but gives launch edition buyers a very nice powertrain to lure them in!

Temperature? This is over a couple days on my Max battery R1S. I ran the battery charging preparation during my drive home after picking it up out of storage.

Really, you're that upset about powered cargo bars and pop out rear windows?!?
Yes. And fold flat front seats....so 3 features they touted and got rid of. Its kinda their thing.

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.
Power unlock, pneumatic cylinders push it up, manual lower into the down position then the powered latch pulls it down the final inch or so and locks it down for driving. No pushing on the delicate aluminum hood to lock it down, the power latch does that for you :)

Doesn't look like the rear side windows open to vent like the concept did.

Pretty sure the battery pack is an Oil cooled NMC battery pack and not lithium-ion for the large Pack that is in these recent/ launch models.

Did I miss the towing capacity rating?
No you didn't miss it... none of the reviewers mentioned it. Don't know why it's still a secret at this point though?

Did they mention whether it has air suspension? Assuming it doesn’t but haven’t seen it reported yet.
