  1. Launch Green R2 exterior & interior - latest pictures (block party & public sightings)

    Catalina Cove is going to be hugely popular. I think the LG (depending on what they charge) would be my pick. I have a FG R1S and the color is great, I would get that again. Black, White are two i would never get and the purple i don't know about.
  2. R2 customer production started today! R2 configurator / ordering starts June

    LOL .... People who purchase for the purpose of making revenue generating content, can write off the depreciation as a business expense are not "real" customers. Real customers are when the company is confident enough to mass produce and deliver to some random family who use it for real world...
  3. BMW and Mercedes pulling back on Level 3 autonomy

    I agree, having good ADAS is key to bettering a long road-trip or even just for typical high way driving. I just don't know that i want or see a need for FSD. UHF, Bluecruise , supercruise are the sweet spot in my opinion, which is why i was so unhappy with with how Rivian overpromised and...
  4. R2 customer production started today! R2 configurator / ordering starts June

    I couldn't care less what Tesla does. Many new products across multiple industries do this, I get it. My point is while amazing work by rivian for the teams for hitting this milestone. But after employees, the next run will go to influencers and media outlets and then the gates will open...
  5. BMW and Mercedes pulling back on Level 3 autonomy

    I get it, I just don't see a huge group of people who want to add their (unpaid) commute time to their work schedule. I find driving relaxing, if other can use FSD to relax, great! . We'll see what the market decides, it's being positioned as life changing and for the average person I don't...
  6. R2 customer production started today! R2 configurator / ordering starts June

    They should be more clear, these are INTERNAL Customer deliveries, not true customer deliveries. Still huge milestone and good for them for hitting the timeline they promised wall street
  7. BMW and Mercedes pulling back on Level 3 autonomy

    FSD is is really cool, The fact that the tech is to the level to do the things it does is amazing. That said.. it's still a gimmick, it adds very little real world benefits. I have a buddy who bought a Tesla as his first EV, he loves it finally understands why I've been driving EVs so. He...
  8. BMW and Mercedes pulling back on Level 3 autonomy

    It's "perceived value" Rivian should never have announced the lidar and the Gen 3 hardware. I get it. They wanted to have a stock bump, but they could have just announced the autonomy and then got a future bump when they were ready to release the hardware. It's a bit of an "Osborne effect" it's...
  9. BMW and Mercedes pulling back on Level 3 autonomy

    Most people are caught up in the FSD-hype and the tech completely ignoring the regulatory (state and federal) part, let alone will the automaker take full lability when once L4 is legal
  10. BMW and Mercedes pulling back on Level 3 autonomy

    This is the biggest reason to not wait for R2 Gen 3 IMHO. Regulations will slow down true autonomy
  11. Are you a Tesla owner getting the R2 as first Rivian? ⛔️ [ADMIN WARNING: NO POLITICS / NO ELON DISCUSSIONS] ⛔️

    You'll always going to have the brand loyal crowd, The TSLA and Twitter DBags that'll ride or promote Tesla to the end.
  12. Would you go with 20" wheels or 21" wheels on Launch Edition R2?

    Yeah the 20's for the performance edition are nice, They look like the 20's on R1. The R2 21's look close to R1's 22" design. The 20's "bicolor" for the premium and standard remind me of something on a Kia or Hyundai EV with those bright squares on them.
  13. Would you go with 20" wheels or 21" wheels on Launch Edition R2?

    The 21's look the best IMHO. The biggest reason i went with the 22's on my R1S vs the 21's which where standard at the time was the lack of replacement options for a 21 inch tire. May this thinner 21's on the R2 will have more options, but something to consider.
  14. Are you a Tesla owner getting the R2 as first Rivian? ⛔️ [ADMIN WARNING: NO POLITICS / NO ELON DISCUSSIONS] ⛔️

    KitchenAid is owned by Whirlpool whose CEO was very vocal in the support of this administration, Not to the point of Zuck, and Musk, who use their social media platforms as social engineering but still supported. Dyson Corp donates to democratic candidates. I can sperate the product from the...
  15. Are you a Tesla owner getting the R2 as first Rivian? ⛔️ [ADMIN WARNING: NO POLITICS / NO ELON DISCUSSIONS] ⛔️

    Beside what Rivian (or tesla for that matter) can deliver for true L4 autonomy (eyes off), where at that point the car manufacturer needs to take liability, regulations will trail way behind development, getting this allowed in all states and all roads. Supervised FSD, or any ADAS where the...
  16. Are you a Tesla owner getting the R2 as first Rivian? ⛔️ [ADMIN WARNING: NO POLITICS / NO ELON DISCUSSIONS] ⛔️

    Software wise, Infotainment and App , I would say Rivian is pretty close currently. And it's always getting better. As far as LiDAR is concerned, I doubt you will be any real value in that for the first 3+ years. But since you buy cars and drive them for a long time, Waiting for Lidar is the...
  17. Catalina Cove R2 (VIN #36) spotted

    Here's my forest green with the 22s which I think the R2 21s look like an updated version of. The big reason I didn't go with the 21 inch that was the standard wheel on R1 at the time was there was no aftermarket tires of that size.
  18. Welcome to Half Moon Grey, now available on R1S / R1T and R2

    El Cap its a better grey. HMG is nice, but need to see it in person i guess
  19. Keep R1S or switch to R2, Financial vs. Tech Dilemma

    My warranty is good until May 2028 for comprehensive and 2032 for battery and motors. I'm only at 2 years/20k miles currently. So waiting for Gen 3 is likely what I'll do at minimum.
  20. Catalina Cove R2 (VIN #36) spotted

    These are the wheels to get, but that size 21 tire might not have a lot of aftermarket options. Are those 255/55/21 ? Sucks they still went Pirelli as the OEM tires.
