the overall efficiency of 3.0 mi/kwh is what I'd expect for this spec. I have a feeling some folks with more efficient tires, better conditions, etc. will be able to push the R2 to ~3.5 mi/kwh.

I've assumed the standard RWD is what they are planning on selling in bulk to Uber as part of their future deal?

and I agree that spacer lifts are trash compared to the real deal! I also think folks should just wait for the non-performance trim for the same reason you mention.

My rig before the R1T was a 3rd Gen 4Runner just like this — 3" lift with 33s. Felt comfortable on basically anything. That got me ground clearance of just about 11" (measured at the diff) which is nearly identical to what you'd see with this amount of clearance added with this type of lift kit...

Excited to see the R2 aftermarket kick off here. My understanding is most standard suspension systems tolerate up to a ~2" lift without any serious impact on the rest of the system so a 1.6" spacer sounds safe to me. I also think 11/12" is the sweet spot for what you realistically need for...

This is also my current plan next year, but want to see how R2 insurance/aftermarket part market evolves before ruling out an extended warranty on my truck

I got the invite to order as well. Not planning on doing so, but may replace the R1T in a year when the warranty ends. Excited to see what the aftermarket offers for the R2 between now and then.

I've been using this filter for a bit now and it seems just as effective as the BestEvMod filter I've been using before. I didn't run an actual AQI test, but overall can recommend!

I've suffered from the rear quarter panel issue twice on my R1T - it is truly an awful design decision.

Just booked one for this afternoon

Android user here. Got the notification Rivian was running a promo with the new assistant for two months free of Connect+. Tried the setup process multiple times. Could not get inbound text messages to work. Did not find the assistant useful nor an improvement to my existing workflows in the...

Incredibly questionable design decisions. I would love to hear from Rivian about these choices because I struggle believing these are the right tradeoffs even for cost reduction purposes.

Need to replace my air filter soon!

This has happened to me since purchase. It was really bad in year 1 & 2 and rarely occurs now, but I've never had a real alarm - they have all been phantom notifications.
