Only an R2 apparently can overshadow a Gen 2 Quad.

And on the Gen 2 Launch Quads Slate Sky and Storm Blue, which would cost $6000 I think, were included at no additional cost. Same with Launch Green. All Terrain package was a free option, too. I guess some, such as myself, were hoping there would be similarly free options on R2 Launch...

Get the side mount adapter from @Kelvn.

99% percent sure you’re looking at a Dune. Only way to get those wheels in a stock configuration was via the limited run Dune and currently via the Gen 2 Quads https://stories.rivian.com/california-dune

The original plan in our household was for my wife to trade in her Gen 1 Quad R1S for the R2. She historically has preferred a smaller vehicle. However, she’s leaning towards keeping the R1S. She’s used to the larger vehicle by now. We have used the 3rd row on a few occasions. There are...

I’m on a flight and just watched 2 episodes. Was not expecting Padma Lakshmi to be driven off in a a glacier white R1S in the episode 1 intro, then her to say, “get in those beautiful all electric Rivians” at the end of episode 2. Cool to see Rivians like this! Surprised I’m the first to reply...

I don’t think that’s the case at all. Rather I think they made a business decision as a start up that such an option would interfere too much with production costs and need for profitability to make it a viable option. As an early preorder and Gen 1 owner, I initially planned to wait and...

2 separate loads of green waste following the record breaking Kona low storms in Hawaii last week - including the 4 felled palm trees in my yard. My weather station recorded a wind speed of 68.7 mph.

Rivian employees don’t avoid these forums. In fact, they’re actively monitored. However, they wisely do not post. I know an employee getting an early build. I can ask him for some early feedback but I’m not sure what he’d be allowed and or willing to disclose or what the forum would want to...

Funny you write that. I remember having an opportunity at ordering a Launch Edition but didn’t because I indeed thought Launch Green was the only option. Once I saw Launch Green in person I regretted passing on that opportunity. I love the color after seeing it in person. Another funny thing -...

I read it that way, too - like LA Silver on the R1 being included at the base price (but other options available).

The salesperson through whom I bought my Gen 2 R1T Quad in 8/2025 confirmed no Coastal Cloud for Launch Editions. His text to me from earlier today: Interiors are all Black Crater until they say otherwise. So you can have any color you want as long as it's black. He said he's going to buy...

Great question. I’m sure we’ll all get clarification soon, but Jose at Rivian Tracker has historically been very reliable. He somehow gets fed information early. EDIT: Jose’s write up: https://riviantrackr.com/news/rivian-r2-colors-badging-and-wheels-broken-down-by-trim-level/

Jose over at RivianTracker posted this. Light interior is essential for my climate. No Launch Edition for my wife. Womp. Womp.

Doesn't look like Lifetime Connect+ is included for Launch Editions like it was on the Gen 2 Quad. That's too bad but I guess they have to keep differentiating what I think will be the new RAD Performance Trims.
