Thanks, keeping my clubs in my R1 frunk is among my favorite features.

I have the white interior in my 3-year-old R1, I do not baby it, and it still looks great. I think light interiors are easier to clean.

Right now, 800v gets you absolutely no time savings at 90% of charging stops, and R2 will charge faster than Volvo's best. Two years from now, pretty much the same--maybe 80%.

FM has a useful radius of 75ish miles. If you have plenty of FM station access, maybe you are not adventuring.

Kyle, which wheels/tires do you like better?

That is still a big question: Are the 20s 3PMSF?

I thought the same when I got my R1 3 years ago. Not many options and no 3 peak all-weather options.

If you equip the BMW to match a $60k R2, the price hits $70-75k, and the R2 will still be more rugged and faster. I just bought a 26 X5 50e (traded in a Grand Cherokee 4Xe), so I like BMW a lot--just not as much as Rivian ;-)
