  1. ZEVcentric 18" wheels for R2

    This is not factual because there is no law requiring or mandating tire shops not installing tires with lower speed rating than manufacturer's top speed. It has always been strongly recommended and not required. You did not consult AI on this one as you always do with your posts. But I agree...
  2. Available Aftermarket Rear Bumper Scratch Guard for R2?

    You cannot pay me enough for me to put those on my R2. PPF is the only way to go IMO.
  3. Is Rivian's real strength making unreliability tolerable?

    If they pour you whiskey while you wait, I would never tolerate these drunkards!
  4. R2 Performance vs. Model Y Performance acceleration comparison: 0-60, 50-90, 1/8 mile, 1/4 mile, 75-0 braking

    I used to drive my kid to school in a 911. He probably thinks that my 911 Turbo S is also a commuter car.
  5. The 330-Mile Question: Where Are the 260+ Mile R2 Drives?

    No, only one member seems to beat the dead horse over and over.
  6. How soft is Rivian Paint?

    No need to wait. Some R1s from the Rivian Shop already have XPEL Stealth PPFed as an option. The sooner it's done (if you're going to do it), the less chance of paint getting chips.
  7. VIN FOR COASTAL CLOUD R2 RECEIVED!

    Same here. I ordered Launch Green, Coastal Cloud, 20s on 8/18. Got the same email “Your R2 is in Pre-Production” with no estimated delivery date.
  8. My R2 Coastal Interior real, live, in the flesh! (in Midnight R2)

    Just lovely! I will be trading in my Porsche Cayenne Turbo Coupe as soon as I get a Coastal Cloud VIN
  9. R2: 20” vs. 21” Tires Detailed Comparison

    Sure, there'll be more tires available in 21s, but they'll also be more expensive than the 20s. The 20" rims look much nicer and tires are much cheaper.
  10. Rival: BMW iX3 reviews are impressive... R2 has its work cut out

    I want a car that can go fast. For the passenger, I have a vomit bag in the door pocket just in case.
  11. R2: 20” vs. 21” Tires Detailed Comparison

    R2 recommended tire pressure is only 38 psi
  12. R2: 20” vs. 21” Tires Detailed Comparison

    It's not like the 21s having much less sidewall than the 20s with much less comfort. It's 60 vs 55 profile. The tire noise I felt were more from the AT tread.
  13. R2: 20” vs. 21” Tires Detailed Comparison

    I do like the look of the 20s more so I chose them on my order a week ago. But a few days ago I took the 20s out for a one hour long on road and on highway test drive (my third one) and I do indeed felt more tire squirm and more road noise than I remembered as in my second test drive just before...
  14. Parking lot accident

    Well, I backed up my R1T into a light post in the middle of a parking lot two years ago and the total cost for the insurance pay out was $21K - $16K to fix the truck and $5K for the light post. That was the Forest Green R1T in my signature.
