I took a day off work on Mar 7th, 2024 so that I could make the reservation as soon as I could (and to watch the reveal). Looks like I might be feeling a stomach flu or cold coming on Tuesday....

That's unfortunate that there isn't a height adjustment capability... Our '17 Subaru Forester has that ability, so I wouldn't think it'd add too much tech/cost since that's already almost 10yrs old... I guess that's one way to get people to use the frunk space more often... since we won't be...

That's Launch Green. Weirdly, I do not see any Esker Silver. It really is elusive....

I wonder how many reservations per order invitation batch... It'd be nice if it's maybe...... 10,000? Eh, just to be safe, let's say 200,000, lol. (I'm trying to guess how many would be needed for me to be included on the 9th) Only 3 days 'till the 1st email batch! I hope the tears that day...

Ha, it's almost like a nature documentary... "Here we see the elusive Esker Silver hiding in the grass..."

The wife is 4'10" and was able to close the frunk lid at the Palo block party... although she did have to get on her toes. I'll probably install a strap or something (like already shown in this thread) to make it easier. I just wonder if we'll use it only because we aren't used to a space being...

Oh come on.... My house is totally on the way from the factory to there. They couldn't just drop one off here as they went by? (never mind the fact that I still can't order yet. They should be able to read minds, damn it.)

I like a lot of things about the R2, but my favorite feature of the R2 happens to be one shared by a number of vehicles now.... Not having to go to the gas station again.

While I am loving those pictures... from my perspective, they are headed in the wrong direction.

I want to create a countdown calendar for the next week.... but it'd suck pretty hard if my email inbox had nothing at the end of it. "three days left!" "two days left!" "it's tomorrow!" *crickets* Yeah, I'd be upset. So I'll just go on pretending like I have no idea what day it is...

Very metallic and reflective? Hey, just like the Cybertruck! (I'm kidding)

I WANT MY R2 NOW!!!! Sorry about that.... I figured I'd shout it out to the [digital] world of people who might understand the feeling. The wife is quite tired of hearing that from me, and the cats seem to only pay attention when I have food with me, which makes me suspect it isn't the R2...

The full size rear tire carrier swings out so you can still use the hatch. It swings very easily too.

Probably, but I've never been stopped for it. You'll see some cars without plates at all (and no temp paper either) driving around... doesn't seem to be much of an issue around here.

In the same vein as the folks saying wait... I figure if I have a lot of issues during the regular warranty period, I will. If I don't, I won't. I never have before, but that's mostly because I did stuff to the vehicle that voided warranty anyway. All the parts I would upgrade, modify, or...

I will probably just get a full size spare. The hitch-mounted spare tire carrier will transfer to the R2.

I'm getting the 20".... but it's an easy choice for me since I like that style better and actually want it for off-roading (non-snow). The 19"s that come on the Standard trim look pretty good to me too. I may wish to trade with someone for those at some point. Then I could get even beefier tires.

The Forest Edge interior scheme looks interesting. I'm surprised by all of the comments about favoring a sand/light brown interior though. Subaru likes putting beige in their vehicles and it always bugged me. I had to go out of my way to get a dark interior for both of my Foresters. I wondered...

Strange. I see Storm Blue and Rivian Blue, but no Catalina Cove....

So if they are batching by location and Service Center proximity, would they be sending to the SC's with the most reservations around them? If that's the case, could I convince a bunch of you Californians into moving here to Las Vegas within the next two weeks? Although I still want to know...
