  1. EPA Range Finalized / Published (R2 Performance)

    I think people misjudge the drag coefficient value of the Rivian designs. It really is pretty efficient. I have not seen numbers for the R2 but looking at the R1S Rivian does a lot of work to eliminate negative pressure areas that kill the efficiency. It is more about creating a smooth flow...
  2. June 9 - R2 order invites, first customer deliveries and demo drives begin!

    Looks like order timestamp and location are primary and then current owners would be a tie breaker….. They are just not clear on the level of the time stamp, are they sequential by location or are the doing groupings by day or hour…. We will see how it plays out, I got my credit card...
  3. As you might have guessed.... higher gas prices has increased interest in EVs [ADMIN WARNING: NO POLITICS]

    I can’t agree more. I drove my first EV back in 2016, do not see myself buying an ICE again.
  4. Judge Approves $250M Rivian investor settlement, awards $60M in fees

    I can’t find what the 250 breakdown is, the cutoff to join the action was 4/20/2026, it will depend on how many joined the case. It does say 60 million is the lawyer fee but that looks separate from the 250.
  5. Judge Approves $250M Rivian investor settlement, awards $60M in fees

    Not sure I agree. The premise was that the material cost exceeded the price. Excluding the fixed costs that was not true and anyone investing should have known the initial rollout prices was not going to be profitable until they could get the production volume ramped up. Then factor in the...
  6. As you might have guessed.... higher gas prices has increased interest in EVs [ADMIN WARNING: NO POLITICS]

    I saw an Interesting analysis on oil futures today (around 7:15 mark) where oil futures by some analysis think it could be 2032 before oil gets back to where it was before Iran was attacked.
  7. R2 Jack Point Design - Potential Issues / Challenges

    Curious what a typical floor jack saddle is. Mine are 3 inches, if the pad 2x4 inches then from the picture looks like I can use mine to lift the vehicle.
  8. Collision detection (sitting in the garage)

    That is an odd one, never heard anyone report that before. Must be a bad sensor, you should open a ticket. They should be able to pull data from the logs. Try to give them the dates and times to look for.
  9. We will know our R2 delivery by the end of June.

    Not to through a wrench into the queue order conversations but basing this on the initial R1 deliveries, from the outside it will appear that their is no rhyme or reason to the process. Internally I’m sure there will be an order but no one really was able to nail down the R1 process. I’m...
  10. R1S vs R2 = Tier 1 Luxury vs Entry Level EV?

    I’m not speaking of the entire vehicle just interior materials. I’m also only comparing to the G1 R1 not the later premium interior coming in the tri and newer quads. There is a difference but in my opinion people are not going to get in and think the R2 is cheap. I’ve been in a Mach E but...
  11. R1S vs R2 = Tier 1 Luxury vs Entry Level EV?

    I think the rep was off base. I have a G1 R1S and have seen the R2 in person, the gap is no where near as wide as he insinuated between the 2. I have an older Tesla Model S and in my opinion the R2 interior is nicer than that.
  12. R2 Jack Point Design - Potential Issues / Challenges

    Technically there is no R1 part, the R1 lift point is just an exposed section of the frame with a hole for the puck pin. It is very possible with the change making the new battery pack a structural part of the frame that the R1 method was not viable. I was looking at the R2 picture, seems a...
  13. Incoming text messages not showing up

    For those with iPhones, if you have verified that the Rivian Audio that is connected has show messages enabled, have you tried either turning off Bluetooth on the iPhone and turning it back on and/or rebooting the phone?
  14. Why stock getting hammered last few days?

    I thought it was down for a pre-summer sale, I took the opportunity to buy some while it was on sale…. šŸ¤·šŸ» Numbers wise, if you happened picked some up at the sale price of $13 it only needs to get 16.25 to make 25%….
  15. Incoming text messages not showing up

    I have an iPhone14 pro max. Text messaging works fine in RA for me. Say Tell {someone in my contacts} a message, it confirms message and sends it Incoming messages come in, get an audio alert and shows a ribbon lower left corner of driver display. If I hit the inside button of the left...
  16. Why can't we lower the vehicle when in park?

    My guess is when in park the wheels are locked, they need some freedom to move as the vehicle goes through the lowering process.
  17. Front suspension dropping slowly while parked, normal?

    Mine was dropping a few weeks ago. When I created my ticket I added pictures with a tape measure of height when I parked and 12 hours later. Really helped them getting mine fixed.
  18. We will know our R2 delivery by the end of June.

    It came from AI it must be true…. šŸ˜‰
  19. R2 Jack Point Design - Potential Issues / Challenges

    Thanks for the heads up, are you guys going to create pucks for the R2?
  20. R2 Configurator is Live! šŸŽ‰ What's your configuration?

    No, it is a 21ā€ rim but different tire profile than the R1 uses.
