Shit, I wasnāt supposed to tell anyone. Now itās going to cause a divergence in our timeline. Oh well, as long as Iām in the timeline where I get an R2. š
If itās availability youāre looking for, the R1T and R1S are ready to go. If itās affordability youāre looking for, youāll have to wait for the R2 and its variants.
When did you put your reservation down? I was holding out for an R3X/R3, but I ended up putting a reservation down on an R2 in...
Rivian emailed this to me almost an hour ago. Weāre getting closer!
I really want to plan a trip to Chicago this Summer and one of the highlights would be doing an R2 Demo Drive.
Has anyone else heard anything?
RJ has already hinted at an R2X. Thatās what the R2 tri-motor will be. I think it will be $10K-$15K above the Performance trim, just like I think the R3X will be $10K-$15K above the R3.
As for range I feel like itās got to hit 300. Back in 2024 they said 300+, so I donāt think any R2 should be...
Same here. Iām not sure who thought being blinded and burned through roof glass was a great idea. Even with all of the UV protection itās still too bright and heats up the cabin. A roof sunshade is a must.
Absolutely. They already dealt with a pricing debacle in the past with the R1 when they tried to raise the price on reservation holders. Theyāre not going to go there again.
Tell that to Tesla whoās being investigated by the NHTSA.

I also want an R3X, but am considering an R2. I put a deposit down in November of 2025 and my Tesla Model 3 lease isnāt up until the end of 2027. Iām not sure where that leaves me. I donāt want to pay much more than my Model 3 lease, so I might be leaning toward the R2 Standard trim.
Do you...
So you can either get a dark gray interior or wait until the end of the year and get a light gray interior?
Man, I wish they had warm brown or tan as an alternative, or just a warmer wood trim. Maybe in the tri-motor? I canāt afford that though. š¢
I drove a Honda Fit for 16 years and it was always hard to find tires for it. They were quite small. Maybe 15-16ā? If other vehicles start becoming equipped with 21ā wheels then maybe.
I think thereās some loophole in receiving free charging equipment if you live in select states. I saw it on Travis Ketchumās YouTube channel. Ohio wasnāt one of the states, of course.
I understand THAT, but itās a safety issue. Is saving a few bucks on a hinge mechanism worth all of the lawsuits and damage to your reputation? Did they learn nothing from Tesla or the Chinese, who are now opposed to these types of door handles?
In an accident people are going to be panicking...
