I thought this before I test drove the R2 because I had read the reports of people saying the AC was cold and others like me saying it wasn’t cold enough. there must be some manufacturing inconsistency . Maybe with Freon. Could be inconstitencies in the pre production vehicles as well. Those...

for my drive the air coming out of the vents didn’t feel cold. Cool but not cold. The air coming out my forester’s vent set to 68* feels much colder. windows were open on the R2 when I approached it, and the SC employee turned the AC before I got in

The iX3 is not available for test drive yet. I drove it in the ultimate driving experience here in Raleigh. the cars could not be more different. A couple of weeks ago, I replied to someone saying the R2 was a muscle car and the iX3 was a roadster. It was actually spot on. The R2 feels...

Welp. I got super lucky today. I got to drive the R2 and iX3 back to back. Just 2 hours apart. I want to preface this review with, I don’t plan on buying an R2 and I cancelled my reservation last month. Take this with however many grains of salt you like. I’m also going to avoid comparisons...

I haven’t listened to AM radio in over 10 years. Glad our government is working on fixing the real issues with America.

I've read your posts and agree with you. I think you add value. I have blocked most people that do not by now. I just wonder if you are becoming the exception rather than the rule. Rivian Forums and much more critical than Reddit. I will not even go to r/Rivian or r/RivianR2 anymore

I don't own a Rivian, and I cancelled my R2 order. No dog in the fight, but I am confused as to how you thought your original post was going to be received openly. Rivian has reached Tesla level of fanboys, and Rivian Forums and Reddit are their fanboy treehouse. You are entitled to your own...

did you decide what you are going to do?

Didn’t know I hurt your feelings by cancelling. Rivian has reliability issues with the R1. The R2 is too early to tell. Same reason I would be very hesitant to buy an EX60 because of the EX90

Many people on Reddit commenting about the AC not being adequate to cool cabin

I cancelled but not for price. I actually will end up purchasing a vehicle more expensive than the R2. I cancelled for reliability issues and preceived value

I cancelled my reservation, on purpose, and there are many steps you have to go through to cancel. It’s not just hitting the cancel button. I did get an email after I cancelled but there was nothing there to confirm it. If there is truly a email that has a cancel reservation one click in it...

was this at the knightdale SC? I went to book at knightdale, and it is telling me demos are not available. I wonder if it because I gave up my reservation

I have not driven either, I would bet every dollar I have that the iX3 drives better than the R2. It’s BMW’s thing they’re known for. Plus every review I have seen says the iX3 drives better than the EX60 and GLC. the R2 is not meant to be a sporty drivers car. It’s like the difference...

It’s silly yet you keep posting and fighting with people about something that “isn’t happening” only to waste your own time. Yet we are the obsessed ones that want a useful feature in a car that every other car has. This is how customers demand change.
