  1. 500-800 miles from Service Center......from those with Rivian experience....how risky will this be?

    The gentleman lives in Cloudcroft, NM, 200 miles from Albuquerque where there is a mobile service. see

  2. No real AM or FM radio in the R2

    Thank you all for your thorough answers. I think Tunein was trying to charge me when I downloaded the app onto my phone but, you are correct, I was able to stream it for free on my computer. But, most importantly, all of my local NPR stations were there and available. Phew. Not that this was...

  3. No real AM or FM radio in the R2

    I listen to 3 NPR stations in my car every day. Those of you who don’t are missing out on quality reporting but that is a discussion for another day. I just scanned Iheart. It has none of the stations I listen to. I tried to scan Tune in but they wanted $12.99/ mo. This is a total fail on the...

  4. Where's my R2? New website to estimate your delivery timeline.

    How fun. Thanks for doing this. Mine says July to September. That’s more optimistic than I am. I’m in NM. No service nearby but early reservation. So we will see. I’m curious how Rivian knows whether I am “flexible” or not. I got an email that asked if I was interested in Launch addition which I...

  5. June 9 - R2 order invites, first customer deliveries and demo drives begin!

    I live in New Mexico. No Demo or service center. Looks like I will be left out in the cold. Good thing I am on the list for an IX3.

    1st long trip FL to OH

    Since you have a Rivian and a Tesla, I am curious how well you felt the Rivian navigated to the Tesla chargers. Did it navigate you to only Tesla chargers that allow Rivians? Did it give you options for other types of chargers? Was it accurate in telling you about out of order chargers?

  7. Rivian R2 place in line

    My email says "In June, you'll see an estimated time to order". Is anybody's earlier or later than that?

  8. Rival: 2026 BMW iX3 reviews are impressive... R2 has its work cut out

    I'm on the R2 list on day 1, March 7. I continue to be very excited about it. But recently I am starting to waiver. This whole Lidar thing gives me pause. I need a car this Fall and I don't want to have buyers remorse the first month I own it. I don't care about FSD but still. Secondly, I live...

  9. R2 buyers - will you wait for gen 3 hardware (including LiDAR)?

    It is not just Lidar. It is entirely conceivable that there will be other differences, as yet unknown, between the gen2 and gen 3 software. Why would anyone buy a car that has obsolete software on day 1?

  10. Rival: 2026 BMW iX3 reviews are impressive... R2 has its work cut out

    I totally agree about the SC issue. I live in NM and we have no SC. Rivian seems to be falling behind their own feet right now. I was waiting for the R2 but I am leaning heavily toward a 2 year lease on a different car to see if Rivian can actually pull this off.

  11. R2 buyers - will you wait for gen 3 hardware (including LiDAR)?

    Other than autonomy features, might there be other reasons to wait for gen 3?

  12. R2 buyers - will you wait for gen 3 hardware (including LiDAR)?

    Not really interested in autonomy but at the same time I don't want to buy a vehicle whose hardware is obsolete on day one. This whole development really makes me question if Rivian has their act together. Pending new info, at this point, if I can lease an early one for two years, I will. If...

  13. R2 has Lidar!!!! First look at windshield notch location on R2 (with R2D2 wrap)

    I hope you are right.

  14. R2 has Lidar!!!! First look at windshield notch location on R2 (with R2D2 wrap)

    The Lidar will come out on the gen 3 hardware at the end of 2026. So, launch and early R2s are already obsolete. DOA.

    Caltrans Rivians spotted on transports and in the field

    This was on I-40 west near Flagstaff. It was fun to see. Looking forward to seeing a truckload of R2s!
