Same here, It will be June before we know it and still have not test drive. :(
I don't own a R1S for priority in line, but I reserve within minutes of reservation opening and I live close to Normal, IL. I will be willing to go to Normal to pick up if means getting sooner.:)
I was thinking minus the fixed cost. I just hate when some of the naysayers investment analyst say "Rivian is losing $xxK per car," without context. Its makes it sounds like Rivian has an unprofitable product when is just an unprofitable company.
I placed my reservation with within minutes of opening in March 7, 2024. I also live close to Normal, IL and I was under the impression delivery distance would be a factor too. I would be willing to pick up at Normal if it means I get R2 sooner. I hope someone from Rivian is reading this...
Other than the building of the factories, Rivian seems to take a long time from unveiling to availability. I honestly thought last March the R2 would be available. As of now, we were told Spring, late Spring, but don't know what that really mean. Configuration is not available, at least to...
I will take the over 25K R2 for 2026. I think Rivian may be sandbagging the number, under promise, over deliver.
Too bad Rivian can't squeeze the R3X in the Normal factory for 2027. :(
How would Rivian know the popularity of each color without the configurator being available?
I'm between Esker Silver and Half Moon Grey, but I will take any color if it means I will get it sooner.
I'm more concern how well the rear glass defrosters works than the rear wiper. I've had two Acura RDXs and Honda Odyssey with rear wipers and I never notice them until I backup with the front wipers on. The rear wiper auto turn on when in reverse and the front wipers are on. Other than that, I...
I should have clarify, Esker Silver and Half Moon Grey are variation between Glacier white and Midnight Black. One could argue all 4 are a lack of color, like turning off color on your color printer to print a picture. :)
If that is true, then there will be only two colors Catalina Cove and Launch Green with the remaining color between white and black. That is crazy.
I do hope the color choices are better with the R3X.
I visited the Old Orchard Block Party on Saturday morning. Here are my impressions as a owner 7 ICE cars over the years and the R2 will be my first EV.
The indoor lighting really was not great for viewing Midnight color, but looked almost dark navy blue at certain angles. The Catalina Cove...
Personally, I think the R3 and R3X should be a break from the color palette used for the R1 and R2. The colors should be more fun more bold than the selection used so far.
That said, I still wouldn't mind buying a R3X in Borealis and grey. :)
The R2 is looking to be a head turner, but for good reasons unlike the cybertruck. My opinion. :)
I will bet money the R2 will have an impact on Tesla Model Y sales. I can't wait for my LE R2 in Half Moon Grey. I hope to get it for the Summer.
