I hope I receive a golden ticket on June 9th, because that is what this feels like. :)

What is really amusing, about 110 years ago, people where saying the ICE automobile was 'soulless' compared to the horse and carriage.:CWL: My how things have changed.

I think people may be making too much of a big deal out of the rear wiper. I think the great thing about the wiper is that it's hidden, but I think I would be ok if it never existed. I've have or had 3 cars (2 Acura RDX, Honda Odyssey) with rear wipers and it was something that was never...

First none Rivian employee to receive their R2 should make a post "First." :clap:

Yes, Yes, how much is tea in China? :rolleyes:

Don't forget spare tire. This will be my first car to buy that doesn't come with a spare. :(

I'm sorry, I don't understand your point. It's not "complaining" to ask if something is worth the money when there is alternatives and what Rivian is pushing as accessory looks grossly overpriced. It would be complaining if I were to buy a big house and leave all the windows open in the...

If it was up to me, I would prefer free paint color over Autonomy+, but I understand software has a virtual value.

LE R2 - Reason being, too many Teslas around me between neighbors and coworkers, I just want something different. Also, the interior and exterior styling is better. Reliability is still up for debate but I'm will to take that risk. :)

I was thinking about that too. I will be using the R2 mainly as a commuter car, about 25 miles round trip. I may drive it a lot for the first few months to show off. I may have to use the charging station about once a week or so. As for getting the wall charger before getting the R2, I...

What is a good alternative? I settled on Tesla mobile because of the name brand, there were other brands on Amazon from ~$150-$200 but I was not sure of the quality.

I already plan to upgrade my garage with the Tesla Universal Wall changer over the Rivian wall charger because of lower cost and features. I was going to get the Rivian portable charger with the R2 in the meantime, but it's $400 when inexpensive alternatives are available. Is the Rivian...

I totally agree, Rivian products to market seems to be bad timing, like 12-18 months late for optimal sales. I think Rivian would be in a lot better shape if everything was pulled in by 1 year. As an investor since 2024, I'm hope they can hang in an catch up as second mover. The R2 may help...

I think this was on purpose. It's like the Apple staircase pricing model. Even before the configurator was fully working, it seems you are getting a lot for the incremental cost increase. The Autonomy+ alone suggest getting the LE Performance. Remember the performance is the only...
