R2 - GVWR weight rating estimates?

[Eric9610]

I think the bigger issue is on cars with over 6k GVWR does it impact systems and cost. Example below 6k you can use 4 piston brake over you have to use 6 pistons. Then this would increase the brake buster pump size. Interesting to see how this applies. This is an example and I don't know if these have rules.

Hmmmm. Had a X5 50e that was over 6K lbs - pretty sure 4 piston brakes....

Higher weight is less efficient.
Where TELO and SLATE will shine.

Feels like 20 to 50 lbs more to get to 6K is a non-issue.

The GVWR for all versions of the R1 were/are conveniently a few pounds over the 8500 pound threshold for the American Automobile Labeling Act. So, Rivian didn't/doesn't have to disclose the percent U.S./Canadian content of R1 vehicles on the Monroney label (window sticker).

The NHTSA website for the Labeling Act doesn't list any Rivians as of today. I'm anxious to see a window sticker for R2 (when deliveries to employees begin?).

If it was 20lbs they should have included the spare...

Based on recent EPA filings, the 2027 Rivian R2 has a reported Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) of approximately 6,173 lbs. This rating positions it above the 6,000 lbs threshold often required for certain business tax deductions, such as Section 179.

Congratulations everyone
