Agreed. It would not have been the best seller, and clearly no longer is now that there is competition. However, it still outsells all other EVs in the U.S. even though there are other options. Looks and quality matters, which is why I ended up with a Mustang Mach e and not a Model Y. Looks are...

Looks are subjective. I love the look of the R2, the iX3 not as much. But I don't think the iX3 is as ugly as the Model Y and that was the best selling car in the world at one point.

Could not agree more. For this to be the vehicle for the masses and take Rivian mainstream, the pricing has just right. If the Launch Edition is even $54,900 before destination, taxes, options (paint, interior, wheels, etc.), and fees, then I don't think the R2 will be the success we all hoped...

I think this irrelevant for most buyers. What percentage of SUVs are actually used for off-roading? Probably less than 5%. Rivian has a distinct advantage with the off-roading and camping crowd, but in my opinion that is a very niche / small percentage of the SUV (especially EV) buying...

As someone who has held two R2 reservations since day 1 when I was super excited about this vehicle, I have real concerns about how successful this vehicle will be. Two years ago, these specs seemed great and it seemed like the R2 could have serious mass appeal. However, in the two years since...

Alexa is the devil

The Other Guys - Underrated movie. I feel terrible for the OP. Totally unnecessary and unacceptable behavior from this random asshat.

Completely agree. I can understand Rivian not wanting to do a replacement or swap to another vehicle in the shop, when the current vehicle can be repaired. However, for the sake of their customer and their customer’s confidence in the brand, they should allow this swap. Then they can do the...

I can’t believe people are paying over $120k for that POS

It really does seem ridiculous. Even if you picked every upgrade in motor, battery, color, wheels, interior and option it would be hard to get to $90k. I just went to the website and configured an R1S... Performance Dual-Motor, Max battery pack, Rivian Blue color, 20" AT dark wheels, AT...

Man, nearly every color looks great. My favorites are the blue and launch green though.

This thing is ugly inside and out. It has some cool tech, like the steer by wire, but I am definitely one of those that would not be able to get past its looks. Also, I can't stand Tesla's minimalist interiors. They are sterile and uninviting.

I have thought a lot about the priority delivery to current R1 owners and I think it’s a mistake. Obviously, I’m biased as I’m not a current R1 owner. However, from a brand marketing and outreach perspective, I don’t think it makes sense. The people that already have the R1 and are looking to...

I love my Mach E! It’s fun to drive, pretty efficient, good quality build, and has plenty of tech. The plan for the R2 reservation is to replace my wife’s Audi Q4 e-tron. The Audi is a nice car and it’s much more efficient than the Mach E, regularly getting over 4 miles/kwh. It also outperforms...

I wouldn’t plan on receiving the R2 by April 2026. Not even if you had the reservation #1 and were a current R1 owner. They’re aiming for 1st half 2026 deliveries of the first R2s. As we’ve seen with nearly every EV model launch, it’s pretty likely they won’t hit their target. Even if they hit...

How do you agree to a deal without knowing the residual or any detailed info on the lease terms? Having a monthly payment number and down payment figure doesn’t mean much without the residual or without the info needed to figure out the interest rate they’re charging you.

Agreed. My prediction/hopefulness was based on the assumption that the $45k base price is legitimately obtainable for Rivian. However, based on history, it is highly unlikely that the base price will be under $50k on the single motor when we actually get to 2026 or 2027, whenever it actually...

This would be a mistake by the company. If you’re truly trying to reach a more mass audience, you don’t go from $45k on the base single motor 270 mile RWD, to $59k for the dual motor 330 mile AWD. That should not be a $12-15k upgrade. You especially don’t want the vehicle price to tip over $60k...

$6.8 million is a rounding error on their financials. This does nothing for their cash needs. But good news none the less. I already have one reservation and I'm adding a second today.

Reservation submitted. Contemplating reserving a second!
