I'm too new here to understand the Pirelli hate, but I'll share that I have WeatherActive 3PMSF on all three of our vehicles. Hope they become available for R2's 255/60/R20 - Meanwhile, BFG markets Trail-Terrain T/A as 3PMSF, but Tire Rack doesn't agree for R2's 20" size (BFG site doesn't...

$1.5k+ for smaller wheels wouldn't surprise me, given refrigerator white paint is $2k on R1.

"The system covers the full Launch Package for the Performance trim — the only variant available at the initial rollout." Wonder what the scope of the public configurator will be initially - just Performance + LP to play around with? Maybe additional Performance variants? Perhaps Premium and...

I expect to be shopping in summer 2027 for MY28, would like to see Red Canyon added to the mix. If not or I don’t like it on R2, white is likely choice.

Honestly some of this seems like the right trade-off, at least for my own personal use case - - The dual-motor R2 does not include a mechanical locking differential - To reduce costs and weight, the R2 replaces the R1’s air suspension and hydraulic roll control with a more conventional setup...

Yeah degradation-engineering really bugs me. Astounding that Volvo did that to SPA1 cars for NA. I guess we'll know for sure re: R2 soon enough.

Thanks for info!

Internet says both R1 and R2 have 41.4" of front legroom - could someone that's been inside both compare the fit for the tall?

Well hopefully Rivian has the smarts not to remove amber rear turn signals just for NA. Volvo did that for its SPA2 cars and its more informed/educated/worldly customer sub-segment was unimpressed. Why remove a safety advantage just for NA? "Amber rear turn signals are generally considered...

Thanks you for sharing this - delighted to see amber rear turn signals (known to be safer vs. red) - perhaps due to international markets? That said, for above (in motion) left turn, I noticed while stopped before moving that left indicator was flashing but right remained on until brake...

Future add to options list?

Well I have no desire to drive inside a coffin, but to each their own, etc. Might a 3rd interior launch for MY28? Tan or mid-gray?

When has MY turnover happened in the past for R1s?

Yep, got it, thanks.

Would anyone know if the Normal factory has any historical references to DSM production? Museum? Hallway of photos? My first car was 1990 Plymouth Laser Turbo, made in the very same factory during Chrysler-Mitsubishi JV. Would love to do factory delivery when the time comes and come upon any...

Yeah I'd be disinclined to get too creative, even touch the suspension at all. But we got a great effect on our Sienna w/ 2" lift...

Yep, there it is, thanks!

Can you speculate about what a sweet spot for a mild lift might be? Really just for higher hip point, entry/exit, etc. Maybe 1-2"? Not for larger tires so don't want to bump it up too much. I have brain lock for suspension geometry so no clue what trickle-down implications might be. Is...
