Both the R2 Launch and Premium have an "optional" tow package. I do not know if they both are rated for the same capacity. We don't know the cost for this option. Find out in about 100 days.

Launch will have tow package included. The performance (which launch edition is) won’t, but it’s an option you can add:

Same 4,400 lb capacity. It's right there at rivian.com/r2 in the compare pop-up. Premium and Launch have the same dual motor drivetrain, hence same towing capacity. Launch/Performance just include more unlocked max power, drive modes and options as standard equipment.

No, a sale does not need to take place for "bait and switch" to occur or be illegal. The offense is the deceptive advertising and intent to lure customers without planning to sell the bait item, often shown by refusing orders, disparaging the bait, or using sales incentives against it.

I assume that the R2 with LiDAR will not get a LE version so will probably end up costing a bit more than the LE R2 with the same equipment. Since I can't configure my LE R2 until June (for a possible July/August delivery, maybe) I wonder if there will be any timeline for LiDAR by then considering they originally said that LiDAR would begin shipping by the end of 2026. If they do start shipping LiDAR by the end of 2026 it seems silly to produce the non-LiDAR units for just a few months then convert over to LiDAR.

Wife and I are both on the fence. Don't know if we should do the LE or wait for LiDAR.

It's a fun conundrum. FWIW, I find it helps to project 2-3 years into the future. I would guess by then, the thrill of owning the LE would have long faded, but the regret of having a new-ish vehicle that lacks the capabilities Lidar unlocks would sting. By then, Lidar might be more common among new vehicles, but your's wouldn't have it..

Of course, you could get a LE now, then when Lidar is released trade up, although that would surely come with some financial hit.

Also, another possible benefit of waiting (if you can stand it) is that you let the early adapters deal with all the inevitable launch bugs and production hiccups.

Just a few handles to help work though the emotions and logic.

And both (or all?) of the standard trims list a tow rating of 3,500lbs, matching all of the Model Y trims.

But they don't list the tow package as an option. Maybe just an oversight...

Standard is single motor right?

Premium vs Performance/Launch R2 is like Dual vs PDM for R1.

So, we don’t get a configurator to play with to see what the prices will be? I expected at least this feature for a launch reveal…

 

[ElectricMike]

I cannot speak for others who do not take bait & switch seriously. But it sure is clear that I do, isn't it? Especially when it involves a $45,000 motor vehicle. In any event, the case would be tossed out of court immediately.

I still have doubts about the 3.75 m/kwh. Real world tests will be interesting.

Rivian has been known to use different EPA tests(5-cycle vs 2-cycle), to get their desired results on various trims.

 

[CharonPDX]

With the "Launch Edition bonuses" including Autonomy+, I hope ALL R2s sold before LiDAR is added have "vehicle lifetime Autonomy+" as a bit of a perk for buying before LiDAR, since their Autonomy+ won't be as capable as later vehicles'.

Everyone does that

Yeah, No EPA test produces "range when driving at constant 70 MPH". No vehicle will ever get "all highway range" as high as the manufacturer claims. (Unless the manufacturer is purposefully lowering their range estimate to get better than advertised.)

Can someone help me with the colors, pls? I need to know the correct order of the swatches in the Lineup. Can’t tell between some colors (colorblind)

I think I have these right...
