Rivians model year stays with the calendar year. A 2026 is a 2026 all of the year. Not Iike other manufacturers that start in mid year and begin offering the next years models around September.

Pretty sure the R2 has a powered rear hatch/ tailgate

Have had two of them in use for many years now. ( one has powered my R1 T for past 4 years) Excellent design and tech support

Disagree with you 1) If the R2’s come off of an almost totally automated assembly near perfect ( and I expect they will) the need for service centers actually decreases. The perfect manufacturing model 2) The R2 is being priced similarly to most other upscale SUV’s in the market I expect...

Not referring to the cost of a loaner or rental. Referring to offering great customer service regardless of the cost of a vehicle. Service sells

Sorry I don’t agree. It doesn’t cost much to offer top quality service to your customers in all areas. If you don’t they will find other manufacturers that do

Yep having similar issue with 22 R1t with iPhones. Vehicle randomly unlocks when I approach ( used to work 100% of the time) but will not lock as I walk away in a parking lot and I have to use the App to lock. Also have had wife’s seat settings actuate when only my phone is being used and near...

I see grab handles above front and rear seats in the photo, I think?

Good question as my wife is under 5’. Gets into model y fine but had to add running boards on R1t ( or use kneel mode which I dont want to do) to make entry and exit easy for her. Would like to see comparison to a model Y for step in height as it is being compared in many other specs to the R2

Are we expecting a website update or an update to our individual Rivian app under reservation?

So my concern is that this battery has its own BMS for charging and battery temp. Anyone have any thoughts on how the Rivian HV batt to LV batt inverter and battery charger will handle the BMS.

I recall the quality initiatives of that time. Motorola actually started the trend and it caught on in many industries. Real life story. I had the pleasure to manage a service repair and calibration lab for the Fluke company during that era. I quickly learned that Fluke truly believed in...

I am of the belief new company or not you either begin production with a quality mindset or you don’t and there is no allowance for a new company to ignore quality. Rivian did not put quality first and it is negatively affecting new client perception and increasing direct rework costs. Now...
