Yes - Esker Silver seems to be deliberately kept out of the public eye - i wonder if that is to push the premium priced options. I am waiting to see it live next to the Half moon Gray.

Same here - on the other models the 20 inch wheel with Standard tires is the lesser expensive option - are we paying more just for the Tire - i would much prefer getting the 20 inch rims with a standard tire - so now not only do i have to pay for the smaller tire - but also a replacement set of...

Usually the first responders are the bystanders and uninjured that are nearby and minutes may be all you have. And while I do carry window breaking tools they might not be much help to a panicked kid in the back seat - especially if I am disabled in the crash. There have been multiple EV...

Yes - but in the crash emergency responders can open the door from the outside. Most child locks are set to disengage in a collision. FYI as beow 1. The Inside vs. Outside Distinction Interior Handles: When engaged, child safety locks mechanically decouple the interior door handle from the...

This is a must have in southern califronia - especially if the window doen't have that feature that can darken it automatically (which i understand is not on the LE). Especially if you have to park outside.

I'm a little bugged by the extra $1000 just to get the smaller 20 inch wheels on the launch addition - dont care about mud and snow - just want a quieter ride and would rather have a standard tire like offered on the lesser models. That along with $1500 for a gray option is making me less...

Nevermind - I just sorted this out - for some reason I was being redirected to the Canadian site - I finally realized what was going on when I looked at the mileage (it was in KM)

The still show Borealis - so I am wondering - do they all ready have too many Launch Green orders??

I live in Irvine - minutes from Rivian's corporate office and have been on the R2 waiting list since April of 24. Last year they had a demo R2 in Laguna where parking is impossible and traffic is insane. And you couldnt touch it, sit in it or even get close . I hear that there is some...
