Agreed, my thoughts entirely (except for the lack of an R1 to repaint). Unfortunately my wife is still full tilt for purple, with the only thing standing in the way being the Premium-to-Performance upcharge requisite to accessing that choice. I don't really dislike the purple, but don't want to...

I've heard nothing from any Rivian source about any LIDAR price bump, not that I'm at all well-informed. Non-wild speculation invited! What happened with R1 pricing at the gen2 switchover point, and if there was a bump did it later revert to gen1 price and how long did that take if so?

Wow, that was some dust. Hope no one was hurt!! Get a decent used EV, then trade/flip when your R2 pops up?

Shout-out here for LinerX on mats. They're rugged but have a nice flexibility to them and thus seem unlikely to crack, and also have a substantial rim around the perimeter for liquid containment. The cargo mat in the back of our Ioniq5 totally saved my bacon after I stupidly loaded a cooler...

[ Yes! Especially Batman, he hates black and we all know he's the coolest car owner ever.

I'll keep an open mind, never say never, etc., but if that was Rivian's actual intent behind the messge then that e-mail was the worst written English language sentence of all time. It literally says "In June, we'll let you know when you can expect to configure and order..." It absolutely does...

Maybe I am misunderstanding what a number of posters are trying to say here, but ... Seems very much to me like the e-mail says you will find out in June when you are likely to be able to configure, e.g., in June, I will get an e-mail saying: "We estimate you will be able to configure in August...

Anybody see the interesting opinion expressed on one of the recent OutOfSpec videos coming out of SXSW, to the effect that white dog hair is so incompatible with a black interior that no one should ever consider it? I'm sooo glad there are no dark-haired dogs in the world! Seriously, although I...

Absolutely. I want a test drive not only before I buy, but before I make my first non-refundable deposit. I find it hard to believe it would break their production model to divert 50 or even 100 demo cars (out of an expected 2026 harvest of 20,000+) to display centers everywhere. A farsighted...

Thanks for that info! Unfortunately we won't be anywhere near Chicago. We are spending a few days each in Detroit, Cleveland and Pittsburgh. -- presumably one or more of those also has a showroom, I just hoped that as by late August there'd be a guaranteed few dozen R2s somewhere at Normal there...

I've seen OoS Kyle videos of delivery at the Normal factory. Is this just a tiny delivery-only operation, or do they have anything like a showroom where casual walk-in visitors would be welcome? I'm asking because I will be on vacation very close to there in late August and would love to see...

My first and backup preferences exactly! My wife likes the purple, but I'm hoping the required Performance upcharge will daunt her enthusiasm.

Same here (re: new to Rivian). Does anyone have recommendations on aftermarket vendors making useful quality stuff that Rivian does not offer? Perusal of what's on offer for R1 now would possibly be helpful for seeing what might soon be available for R2.

I certainly hope that's true! Wanting the blue or dark green with light interior myself.

I know little about Rivians in general, but it seems likely that R2 option pricing would be very similar to R1 option pricing. You can go there right now and see what R1 paint, interior, etc. option upcharges are. Perhaps R2 might be slightly less following proportional size ratio due to smaller...

Not to appear immodest or anything, but I'm way more interested in my own personal driving evaluation than anyone else's. Any speculation when R2s of any trim available for a demo drive might turn up at Rivian sales/delivery centers around the country? When did R1 demo drives become available in...
