Moving the charging port was a cost cutting measure. RJ said that since the R1s are quad motor they have to have HV cable at the front to charge the battery. But since R2 is RWD the motor is at the back. In order to keep charge port at the front they'd have to run high voltage cable all the way...

I think what's most crazy is you guys want this company to survive, you want your vehicles supported, and you want to see more people buy Rivian's and for cheaper. But the second they make a very meaningful cost cutting measure (the CEO literally said it was so they didn't have to run HV cable...

Please explain what I luxury car is SUPPOSED to look like? This doesn’t look wholly different from the R1…at all. Other than the camp speaker.

TLDW: R2 Base R2 RWD (starts @ 2:42) - $45K @ 270 mi. R2 RWD, AWD, and tri-motor variants that get 300+ mi. of range. The setup in the interview/at the reveal is dual motor with a more off rim/tire setup (4:04). There is also a more on road tire. Headliner is 100% recycled plastic and about...

OR he just didn't feel it was worthy of announcing on the shareholder call and left it until today. So far RJ hasn't seemed like the guy to be swayed within a week based upon the stock price/public opinion.

It's back up. https://rivian.com/r2

I mean when GA was first announced, there were no delays. People weren't protesting. Interest rates were much lower. EDVs were still exclusive to Amazon and R1T/S were ramping well. There wasn't a ton of upside to Normal. The landscape has shifted dramatically in the last 12-24 months.

Bumping this bc the R3X is HERE.

Hopefully this means that the R1 refresh will be even cooler.

Same @Administrator

He said that AND said it wouldn't be coming until 2026. Which may mean the GA plant launch is pushed back FURTHER than previously stated.

R3 WHAT

I love how RJ said that every single motor combo could achieve over 300 miles. Hopefully that's not built off of battery combo. If not, that would be SICK.

Thanks so much. The link on their site wasn't working. Not trying to be a negative Nancy here, but DANG how many people not on here and not Reddit are being hampered by this.

SO EXCITED! Edit: In the minute before (11:59) we had 6K and now we're at 12K viewers (12:02)

You don’t know that though. And we don’t either. They’ve been developing this vehicle for years. That teaser image isn’t of a concept. I’d dare say it’s they had the plant now they could start production at the end of the year. The R1 and its production vs. deliveries were a totally different beast.

Exactly!

And I’ll gladly pay.

Towing yes. If they found a way to include air suspension at this price I’d be surprised. But even if you got all that at 60K BEFORE the tax credit, it would be a steal.
