  1. Confirmed: R2 reservation holders will be invited to configure orders in June

    Where’s the filter button to block cheerleading? I’ll be writing a check and filing the title. Doesn’t mean I like feeling fleeced. Good news is stock is back over $13 at this moment. Must be due to all those smart business decisions.
  2. R2 Configurator is Live! 🎉 What's your configuration?

    So there's no reason why an R2 couldn't easily be painted in R1's Red Canyon? Or share any others colors between them?
  3. Confirmed: R2 reservation holders will be invited to configure orders in June

    Whatever I get when the time comes (thinking ~summer 2027 for MY28), I'll buy it outright, put the title in my files, and drive it for 20 years (my XC90 has 275k miles). So less concerned with the total spend at the time if the product is right. That said, I don't take well to feeling fleeced...
  4. Confirmed: R2 reservation holders will be invited to configure orders in June

    Hoping to see Red Canyon or some other red for MY27, although might still default to white. Need to see it live, etc.
  5. R2 Configurator is Live! 🎉 What's your configuration?

    My guess is that 2027.5 Performance gets inbound upgrades at current pricing but w/out free LE stuff. LE goes away when 2027.5 Performance and Premium launch, add Coastal Cloud & delayed colors, etc.
  6. R2 vs midsize SUV- need by June

    I'm already planning on a Turo in summer 2027 while waiting for MY28. Newly-licensed teen can't drive it but will get my old car to use.
  7. What About That R2 Sunroof?

    Had a chat with Xpel guy this past week - got (relatively small) sunroof on my 22 year old Volvo tinted w/ XR Plus. He said that Xpel advises only 70% (passthrough) or 50% for sunroof, not 35%, 20% or 5%. This is because the tint film will absorb heat as well as reflect/transmit it, which...
  8. R2 Configurator is Live! 🎉 What's your configuration?

    My sense is that MY turnover happens in summer, so perhaps summer 2027 for MY28… or not.
  9. R2 Configurator is Live! 🎉 What's your configuration?

    Thoughts on whether Red Canyon might appear next (model) year?
  10. Rival: EX60 Configurator opening this month

    Well by all means get one then report back here w/ real-world data & impressions for comparison?
  11. Rival: EX60 Configurator opening this month

    Well if you like that and won't miss a glove box or front console storage, then go for it. At least you'll get the delightful Beaker Bin -
  12. Rival: EX60 Configurator opening this month

    No wonder Volvo fired its chief designer a few months before reveal -
  13. Confirmed: R2 reservation holders will be invited to configure orders in June

    And perhaps only for those that declared interest in LE. Other models/trims may not appear until later in 2026 and into 2027.
  14. Would you go with 20" wheels or 21" wheels on Launch Edition R2?

    Yeah I'm debating myself between Premium 20" vs. Performance + "upgrade" back down to 20" - figure $4k to Performance + $$ TBD for 20"? My plan is to keep it forever so transaction cost isn't a factor as much as I just don't want to fleece myself. We have Pirelli WeatherActive 3PMSF on our...
  15. Rival: 2026 BMW iX3 reviews are impressive... R2 has its work cut out

    I'd think R1 would have to get it first. Clearly you haven't noticed EX60 dashboard yet. There's a reason Volvo fired its design lead a few months before reveal.
  16. Rival: 2026 BMW iX3 reviews are impressive... R2 has its work cut out

    BMW generally not my thing, but found offered colors and costs (especially for non-metallic white) to be interesting -
  17. Thoughts from people who have seen the R2 in person.

    Yeah my plan is to hold for one MY and hope for more colors - including Red Canyon. But need to see it live before committing, etc.
  18. Thoughts from people who have seen the R2 in person.

    Folks, I find the postings that combine the good stuff w/ some candid critique to be the most helpful. And that includes baseless, totally uninformed speculation about what could come later - e.g. different paint colors, plausibility of suspension lift - based on R1 experience or Rivian's past...
  19. Thoughts from people who have seen the R2 in person.

    Not surprising - compare XC60 to XC90 and I think you’d feel the same way.
  20. Borealis and Forest Green not available at R2 launch

    Just for baseless speculation - thoughts on whether MY28 might bring different colors as soon as 2nd production year? Did that happen for R1? Default choice is Glacier White but have time to wait - would like to see Red Canyon, Compass Yellow, and/or California Dune just based on R1s I've...
