Programmable opening height is a pretty premium feature.. I doubt its going to be on the R2.

That said. At 6’4”, don’t think it wasn’t the first (ok 2nd) thing I checked with our 2 minutes with the car. And it’s JUST barely enough not to hit my head when it’s open, which is my standard test for SUV’s..
My 2018 Honda Odyssey has this feature, so I wouldn't call it "premium"

Also at 6'5 this means I'm definitely going to smack my head on the tailgate when it's open

I'd love to know the length of the R2 at its absolute longest, when the rear gate is raising and lowering. That's gonna be a factor in how far you need to pull into the garage, or even if some people will be able to open the gate when they're parked inside.

Rivian R1T R1S Garage fit for R2 (vs R1S) - Height & Width Dimensions. Does it fit in your garage? 1780518292347-7f

I asked about the height adjustment at the block party and the Rivian rep said it can be set to a specific height. Take that with a grain of salt because I didn’t watch them do it but my wife is 5’ nothing so she would like this feature.

Sometimes there is a piston brake but with electronic controlled at least not sure. We should have some great reviews in ~ 100 hours or less
