Is this going on now or is it over already?

How many R2's do they have there?
Per Reddit there is only one R2 at the Rush (downtown) location (the one pictured in the original post) and two at the Old Orchard (burbs) location and those are Catalina Cove and Midnight. Haven't seen any pictures from the Old Orchard location yet to confirm though.

Thanks for posting - Can someone who's going with a kid have them "innocently" honk the horn? I'd love to know if it can be heard over the crowd noise ;)

Oh? I was under the impression only the downtown location would be doing this. I'll have to check out the Old Orchard location as it is not too far from me.

Did they black out the 20" AT wheels? Thought they were gunmetal grey in previous photos I've seen but looks a lot darker in your photos.

Will be a bummer if there is really just ONE car, grey, etc. really wanted to try and see Borealis or Catalina Cove in person - which means only my SO can go, but oh well.

Can confirm Old Orchard has a midnight and Catalina cove, both with 20" AT wheels. This was my first time visiting that space which is rather small. Due to the small size there were only R2s on display, no R1s, but they were offering test drives of R1.

Has anyone measured the front-rear distance of the roof rack mounting points on the R2?

My Thule rack has a range of distances it can accommodate. This is not an issue on my Jeep as the cross bars can slide forward and back to support any rack dimensions. Thanks in advance!
