It’s official now!

I was just about to post this but you beat me to it! Thankful that this loan is going through. Rivian needs help for the R2 and its construction - the R2 is what will make Rivian long-term.

Cute? Does it look that small in person? What would it compare to a current vehicle - a Rav4, Q5, etc?

Yep - that’s why I was hoping that the engineering of the 2nd generation of the R1S can mostly help with the R2 reliability. We know that most new EV engineering takes a while to get higher reliability. That has to be combined with a better Service dealer network. Both of the above needs...

I have an Audi SQ5 that I believe is a ticking time bomb about to turn on in 2026 or 2027 and looking at either a Rivian R2 or Model Y. Most of my neighbors have a R1S or R1T but can't really spend the money for those right now. Are we thinking that the R2 will take advantage of all of the...

Any more information on the Raleigh, NC service center for Rivian progress and opening date?

Correct - I currently have an Audi Q5 and am looking at a R2. The R1S is too big for me. Was looking for similar dimensions as the Q5 (would be okay with being slightly better, but not smaller than the Q5). Model Y would fit for me, but I was hoping for more of a blocky, rugged shape than...

*UPDATE* My neighbor only had his R1T back for a week before the warning lights came on again - motor light, possible performance loss light and other random lights. He's driving a front-wheel vehicle again, rear motor is out. That means it wasn't an issue with the rear motor. Probably some...

This is exactly what I'm worried about. A huge influx of vehicles on the road for Rivian.

What's the state legislation in SC like and what's the way around it? NC has similar but Rivian looks like they are planning a service center near the Raleigh area for 2025. And Tesla figured out the service center thing earlier anyway.

Thanks for the map. You could have just posted that without the snark. They are behind in service centers already though, better be more than that

Correct - it was still under warranty so everything was covered, including the rental car. His invoice had some filler charge for the rear motor around $7k so who knows how accurate that is.

When the R2 comes out in 2026, there better be easier ways and quicker ways to get service appointments. Does Rivian have a plan for this? My neighbor's R1T just had the rear motor go out, had to be shipped to Richmond, and they gave him a rental car for 6 weeks until it was replaced. 6...

Oh now look, Rivian's loan is a target now. Funny that Tesla received a similar loan in the past. so we are not catering to Musk now? Last week, the Department of Energy announced a $6.6 billion conditional loan commitment to Rivian, the electric vehicle startup that is a nascent competitor...
