I'm really curious as to the towing capacity of the R2. Love the 3rd gen 4Runner size and capability but would like to have 6000 lbs towing for when I get a boat (hopefully).
The Launch Edition is not intended to the be the mass market version, the dual motor version is and those aren't the same thing.
I also disagree that people don't care about looks or off road prowess. Just look at all the people that will buy a TRD off-road 4Runner when a cheaper Rav4 would be...
Same here. I see more Rivian Amazon vans than their old Dodge vans in the Denver area. Guess they are probably localized in certain EV friendly cities.
100% agree about not trusting anything coming out of the state owned CCP media. I do trust the non Chinese car manufactures that are using CATL and other Chinese batteries but they aren't making huge claims of having solid state batteries that are ready to go (at least I don't think they are).
Nice! I haven't charged at an Ionna station yet but will be stopping at a few in June. They look pretty cool and seem fairly cheap. Growing quickly too, will probably pass RAN in a few months.
The climate scientists who believe that climate change is not a crisis is in the very very small minority. You have a right to believe whatever you want but that doesn't make it true. I like to believe in science and the science says it's a crisis.
