I would be curious on your thoughts on being able to add your apple CarPlay/android auto screen to the R2, the screen appears to be a little more tightly integrated to the dash.

Yes we will need to create new solutions for smart screens and phone mounts - you’re correct these screens are more flush and tight. Generally the R2 interior is well done. Feels nicely refined.

I am wondering if this jacks up normally or needs specific pucks like the R1.

You didn't happen to notice the amp rating on that V2L adapter, did you? Nice to see it's a GFCI ...

Did you get to sit in the seats? How do they feel compared to R1, and others?

yes, went for a ride (see it here ) and the seats are good - similar to R1, maybe slightly smaller. But bolsters are similar in design.

didn't get that spec, but it was powering a large size Dometic cooler. I like that it's outside, no need to route wires through doors or windows and pinch them.

 

[VSG]

Thanks. The Dometic coolers actually take very little energy, like no more than 100W. It would be interesting to know if both outlets can provide 15A at the same time, rather than the 1500W (~12A) combined that the R1 outlets can output.

Doug Demuro's preview video shows it is 2400W, 20A. I'd assume its 2400W shared between the two outlets.

Thanks. That's good news.

same crossbars work?

No, R2 is different - even though they look similar.

Rivian’s crossbars work on the roof for both R1 and R2

A "deep in the weeds" question. Let's say one has invested a lot of money in 20" rims and snow tires for their Gen 1 R1S. Will these fit on the R2? Bolt pattern, offset?
Thanks.
