They showed a surfboard being hauled, but in actuality they could push it all the way in with the way the rear seats fold down. Just put a towel on your center console, so it doesn’t get banged up. I’ll be using that on trips to IKEA.
They should have covered that in carpet. It would have been the cheapest solution. I’m sure a third-party will come up with something that fits perfectly. In the meantime maybe felt would work?
Yes, this 40/20/40 (or whatever it is) rear seat breakdown is a great feature. Forget surfboards, I'm dreaming on all the 2x4s I can stuff in there. This design seems much more common in European cars where it's often called a ski hatch, then the same cars come to the US and they take it away, e.g., ID4.
I wonder why? It doesn’t seem like it would be a safety issue, unless you slam on the brakes and the 2x4s smash the touchscreen.Yes, this 40/20/40 (or whatever it is) rear seat breakdown is a great feature.

I might be slightly off on the comparison due to the vertical dimensions of the CR-V rear cargo area being taller than the R2. CR-V may have more vertical cargo area as R2 slopes down and rounds over at the very back. R2 is still very good and usable due to its' box shape.
It does not.
I've seen a fair bit of these posts lately. You think they're doing final cross country stress tests?I saw one on the way to Vegas about a week ago. Initially when I pulled in to charge I was confused to why this Rivian was parked the wrong way to charge. Upon closer inspection it was the R2! Dealer plates from Illinois so not a production model, per se.
I’d say the R2 by itself doesn’t appear small at all, but when you park the R1S next to it, that’s where you can tell the size differences.
Yeah that is my guess, just some final testing/validation. Could be more software than hardware testing since R2 will have that new UI.
What a beauty. I talked a lot of crap about the Half Moon Gray but it is stunning in person. Digging the 21s as well. Gives it a nice stance.I saw one on the way to Vegas about a week ago.

Agreed! Half Moon Gray is very sparkly in the sun! And the 21's look great, but I'll likely opt for the 20s due to aftermarket tire offering.
There will be more 21" options coming, R2 is going to be a high volume vehicle so no doubt other Tire companies are going to go after that market. And yes, Half Moon Gray does look great! I wasn't expecting to like it as much as I do, especially pics like these in the Sun.
Oooooo, that Half Moon Grey looks like the Indium Grey Metallic on my Golf R, which I love.I saw one on the way to Vegas about a week ago.
