Kind of interesting how Catalina Cove can show like 4 colors. More shades of green in darker lighting and shades of blue in brighter lighting.

I'm getting better at spotting the differences between R1. One of the above "R2" pics has a split tailgate. :D

This is why I'm not a fan of the "road show" and would much rather they just have 1-2 at each Rivian Space full time.
Also, eventually at least one demo R2 at each Service Center for folks to see, sit in and maybe test drive. There's a lot more SC's than Spaces.. just saying.

I’m sure once production ramps they will have examples for more than just for kicking tires. There will be demo drives just as they did/do with R1. Sellable R2 units begun production last week, according to various employees. And we know employees are getting first deliveries. So production will ramp soon once they get through this initial run, make adjustments and dial up the assembly speed.

A highly influential car designer (might have been Frank Stephenson) once explained: white is the purest and most unbiased color, if a car design looks good in it then it will look good in any color. To me, there is not a bad angle on this car. Great proportions and stance all around. And that can’t be said for 99% of cars available in the US.

^ agreed, there isn't a bad angle looking at the R2, beautiful design!

If everything else checks out... it will be a winner :)

The only things that stand in the way of success are things Rivian has no control over… direction of economy. And depending where you look, some sound pretty bad. :/

I wonder if they don't allow photos of the INSIDE of the car at these Meet Cutes.

It’s just odd that none of the photos ppl have posted are the inside.
I didn’t realize anyone owe you photos. Did you pay them? There’s even video of the inside if you’ve paid attention.

Thanks for all the great photos and content everybody! I'm still leaning toward the greens but that Half Moon Gray in the sunlight is really growing on me.

Internet says both R1 and R2 have 41.4" of front legroom - could someone that's been inside both compare the fit for the tall?
