I checked the CCS to NACS adapter I got from Rivian for my R2. It says 500A max current. So it could have the pin melting issue Tom mentioned in the video.

R1 and R2 wheels are not interchangeable. Bolt pattern is different. Vehicle weight is very different so tire load ratings are very different so putting a R2 load rated tire on a R1 would be a very bad idea so Rivian is trying to not let that happen.

You do need the "towing package". A $950 option.

Mostly the range hit. I also find them less smooth to drive an and a bit more noisy. Also very heavy. I change my own tires. I have an all terrain set of wheels and tires as well as winter. So I’m in a position where I’m willing/able to specialize a bit with tires. I wish I had stuck with...

Seats are highly personal. The R1 seats are the best I’ve ever had in a vehicle. I’m 6’1” and slender. If those are 10/10 the R2 is 8/10. The butt cushioning seems a bit less.

No idea about range hit. I’ve just rolled all the windows down after golfing or mt biking to get some initial cooling then roll’em up. The one button feature to roll up all windows at once is another thing that is surprisingly nice. It’s the button above the windshield by the cabin light.

I've only been doing short trips so can't really say. I've tweaked the position of the seat a lot at first but the last few drives I have not felt the need so maybe I have it dialed in...... Been hauling a bike around on a rack. I've noticed the hitch on the R2 sticks out farther than the R1...

Solid result given the temperature variation and elevation charges. Lines up well with my running at 70 mph.

38 inches at the base of the seat back and 31.5 at the top.

HVAC system was off. Gear Guard as we know it on R1 is not enabled yet on R2. Both vehicles NOT plugged into a level 2 charger. Another data point. Last night the R2 was plugged into my cabin level 2. While parked in the garage over 12 hours it used 0.0 kwh as reported by the energy monitor.

Your numbers might be just a tad low. I saw 3.11 at 72 mph which would be 276 miles at 100% and 72 mph and 70 deg F.

Just for completeness, 70 deg F and 5 mph tailwind.

Here is a screenshot from today after 15 minutes at 72 mph on a level stretch of I-35. That’s about the best I can do

Nothing I can find in the manual about it.

Yes. There is a tone and it reduces the volume of the music.
