  1. R1S vs R2 = Tier 1 Luxury vs Entry Level EV?

    The R2 premium interior is surprisingly nice imo. I’ve seen/felt in person a few times now. It’s nicer than Tesla and the Mach E. Slight step down from the R1 standard interior, but not overly noticeable. Cheaper headliner, cheaper door panels, no rear screen basically. The dash is similar. The...
  2. R2 Configurator is Live! šŸŽ‰ What's your configuration?

    Again, the iX3 has cheaper paint options but they charge for basically EVERYTHING else. It’s absolutely not a better value. Porsche, really? I’ve ordered 2. They nickel and dime for EVERYTHING. Getting everything standard and paying more for paint is fine with me. There’s always the free...
  3. R2 Configurator is Live! šŸŽ‰ What's your configuration?

    Im unsure why you and others feel this way. I built an iX3 and it was mid $70s to get it to R2 LE level of equipment….and it’s way slower. I’ll pass. R2 is a steal. People comparing the R2 to Hyundais and Subarus(Toyotas) are frankly out of their mind. The R2 is a far superior product. If you...
  4. Rival: EX60 Configurator opening this month

    Idk…The EX60 is dorky to me…especially the interior. The P10 is not similar in specs either. The P12 is, and it’ll be a lot more expensive than the R2 Performance. Iā€˜ve been briefly tempted by these new rivals popping up…especially the iX3/iX4, but I cant see myself jumping ship tbh. I’m really...
  5. Thoughts from people who have seen the R2 in person.

    To be honest I had the opposite reaction. I’ve seen it 3 times in person and been inside one. I’m SHOCKED at how nice it is for the price point. Yes there’s some cost cutting compared to my R1, but it’s not nearly as obvious as the price would suggest imo. Your expectations were way too high...
  6. Are you a Tesla owner getting the R2 as first Rivian? ā›”ļø [ADMIN WARNING: NO POLITICS / NO ELON DISCUSSIONS] ā›”ļø

    True. Who knows, but making cool cars is clearly no longer their focus so I’ve lost interest. I got a bottle of water from the Tesla robot at SXSW. Meh.
  7. Are you a Tesla owner getting the R2 as first Rivian? ā›”ļø [ADMIN WARNING: NO POLITICS / NO ELON DISCUSSIONS] ā›”ļø

    Well, no, but Elon is far from your run of the mill ceo, and EVERYONE knows who he is. That’s sorta like saying I’ll keep voting for Donald Trump bc many other politicians are horrible also. That said, I’ve had a Tesla in the past, and I’d consider another if they came out with something cool...
  8. IONNA Experience

    Yeah, IONNA is great. RAN is great too. Tesla is such a big network now that’s it hit or miss.
  9. Catalina Cove R2 (VIN #36) spotted

    It’s a great color. My top choice right now.
  10. Turning in my R1S this month

    It’s not goodbye, it’s see you soon!
  11. Rivian dropped my truck!

    I’m guessing the payout they’re offering is higher than the actual value of the truck if you were to trade it in or sell it right now? How much they’re offering would be the determining factor for me. I really doubt any automaker would offer you a new 100k+ truck. Rivian even considering it is...
  12. Anyone considering trading their R1T for an LE R2?

    Yeah I think so. The R1T was always bigger than I prefer. The R2 is what drew me to Rivian, but then I got so into the company I had to have one asap. The 3 row R1S felt a bit too over the top for a single guy living downtown, so went with the T. I don’t have a big need for the truck though...
  13. Rivian teasing "so much more to come" with R2, implying tri-motor

    I was thinking they’re gonna rebrand the R1 lineup too. Makes a lot of sense to keep distinct trims with specific accent colors related to performance/hierarchy rather than just number of motors. I too want an R2 Tri, but I’m prob gonna settle for the Performance unless they launch the Tri by...
