Can't wait for a dual motor, max range, right hand drive variant of this to make its way to Australia. I would gladly slap down a deposit today to secure one. Whatever colour is cheapest (white?) I know this isn't optional (as yet) but I would go for a solid roof instead of a moon roof and a...

I live in a place where it is super hot and sunny, and when it gets hot, it gets 45'c/113f+ I'm hoping by the time R2 gets to Australia, a simple, plain, metal insulated roof would be an option

Considering Australia isn't going to get R2 until after the UK, I expect it'll be Gen4 or 5 by the time I'm able to buy one

I'd go without the electric door handles, electric air vents, electric radio controls and gladly give it all up for tactile manual/mechanical stuff. Surely that would save money? I'd rather they do that than cheap out on suspension

Gotta replace macpherson struts with something better, I dont like my odds in the outback without sturdy suspension

Even if they didn't sell direct, its possible to buy in the UK and ship over since the UK/AU laws are commonwealth based and very... *ahem* common... So yeah, fingers crossed they come to Aus, otherwise I might need to spend more. The only thing that really bothers me is how much support I'd get...

Still hoping to buy an RHD R2 in 2028/whenever they come to Australia. Car is perfect for my needs

I know R2 isnt getting the full height adjustment, but it'd be nice for R2 to have this feature somehow. Wishing in one hand...

Plenty of rare earth minerals here in Australia but we stupidly have not invested in the purification/refinement part. I'm hoping that we get some sort of traction on this topic since we dig so much out of the ground only to send it overseas and buy it back...

I like it. Though if I was wrapping an R2 (my future hope!), I'd make it look like the tour trucks from Jurassic Park 1

What I'm curious about, is the factoring of : a) the weight of the towed payload versus the weight of the EV and tongue weight b) aerodynamics and if its possible at all to visualize in a wind chamber Theres a cheapish camper trailer here in oz (Kings MT-1) its now discontinued but thats the...

I like to speed, but thats what the GTR is for :) Towing, 100kph is fine, I'd even do 80kph on double lanes if it saved a lot of range. Saying 2'c is the low, thats the extreme. Generally temp in winter is around 8-10'c at night, sometimes 14-16 is the average. We're in a mediterranean/dry...

Winter isn't really a concern, since the lowest it tends to get in winter is 2-3'c (35-37F). Speed limits here are 68mph nationally, with some states having a max speed limit of 62mph. I'm interested in how it will tow. 5000lb would be perfect but I wonder how much range it'd lose? I think thats...

True, but its good to have the option. 400miles is over 650km which is huge enough for road trips, and in a country like Australia, those who live rural would likely pay extra for the capacity. City folks would get by with the minimum pack, no problem. My budget would be $60k USD max, hopefully...

400 miles would be perfect for me too. Hopefully new battery tech will be able to add energy density, ie more range/same size. CATL have a few new batteries in development that seem promising, lets see what LG can come up with

I'm in Australia. Totally jonesing for an R2. I couldnt care less if its 800v or 400v, since I'd be charging mostly from solar at home level 1, and rarely letting the battery get too low. If I go on a road trip, 30 minutes to top up is adequate for both the car and my bladder/hunger

And the one thing they did get right - the Tesla chargers and its network - he fired the people behind them. What a knob end.

Great idea - I like the Zappi v2.1 for this application but it's reliability is known to be sketchy (and someone on YT ripped one apart and wasn't impressed with the build quality). If the Rivian charger is going to be able to sense solar it'll either need to speed some kind of common language...

This is totally true, but a simple plastic bubble with a floaty ball with a weight is a nice analog solution....I like simple stuff that isnt electric/potentially draining. While I love EV's and Rivians in particular, I absolutely hate the using of screens to do most of the work (hence no tesla...

I too want an R2, and I too want a bike rack. I'm not panicking yet - we're talking about a feature that is literally two load bearing plugs and a locking mechanism -even if it needs to draw power from a traditional trailer plug instead of an integrated port inside the mounting lugs, it wouldn't...
