Regarding Subaru, my wife has an Ascent, fantastic vehicle. We always need a medium sized SUV for skis and stuff. I suspect we are not unlike most prospective R2 owners, we are not going off-roading. We need a reliable vehicle for mountain snow, reasonable space for putting stuff in the back...
THIS ^^^^^
I am a habitual XM listener, so losing it will be a hard pill to swallow. When I am on work trips and renting cars I just play it via bluetooth. I suspect I will just do this in the R2
The wife says…. (It will be her vehicle) Launch Green is growing in her
so….
Launch Green
20” wheels
I’m ready for the submit button to mysteriously materialize
My Mini Countryman came with Pirelli tires, and they sucked! Wore out so fast it was a joke.
I will never buy a car with Pirelli tires again.
Bottom line I want the 20” wheels for tire choices down the line
I am not edumacated on “vegan leather”, but on real leather to get white/light colors there is an extra process to bleach the natural color from the leather. So yes a lighter color interior may in fact cost more to produce.
I am looking for Catalina Cove, dark interior and 20” wheels, but not...
I got my reservation on March 8th, so the 2nd day
I did check the box recently for accepting the Launch Edition… but realistically I will not be able to get a launch edition with my reservation date.
I would like the Half Moon Gray, my wife prefers the new blue color (something cove). She...
My Mini Countryman came with Pirelli tires, they had the worst (as in needed replacement earlier than any tire in my life and I am 62) wear, I got about 15,000 miles out of the Pirelli’s. And the Countryman is not a 7000 pound EV.
I used to get 70,000 miles on my Michelin LTX’s on my Yukon XL...
I am guessing 99.999% of the Rivian owners (and R2 depositors like me) use smart phones. Phones apps run/monitor chargers and R1 features…. So how in the heck (not my first word choice) can Rivian NOT integrate our smart phones in the driving experience with voice text messaging and CarPlay/AA...
OEM Pirelli run flat tires on my Mini Countryman did not even get 20,000 miles. I am a big believer in Michelin.
I will do anything I can to not have my R2 delivered with Pirelli tires
In no particular order except the seats:
1) The seats need to be the same shape/fit as the R1! I do not want uncomfortable Subaru seats
HUD would be amazing, my Mini Countryman has one that comes up from the dash when turned on so it actually projected on the windshield. I really think HUD...
It’s a good video, as Kyle asked I left my wants in the comments
edited to add my posted comments:
I feel that the R1 seat shape needs to be retained for the R2, the R2 looks to have a flatter look to both the seat back and bottom. As for charging, put the charge port that is the easiest for...
