So RJ's guidance was 62-67k vehicles in 2026. I am sure he is sandbagging that number, probably by a significant amount, since the last thing he needs is more shareholder lawsuits if they don't hit the numbers. He also confirmed exiting 2026 operating two shifts. Earlier in this thread I...

The FY24/25 Annual Report states that Land Rover Range Rover sold worldwide 225k Range Rovers, 113k Defenders and 43k Discovery for a total of ~380k vehicles. Total JLR US sales were 120k vehicles including ~2k Jaguars. Lowest cost Land Rovers start at ~$50k. Its likely the vast majority of...

I've been impressed with how well Rivian have packaged the vehicle to create space. Doug's chapters on the rear seats and cargo area in his video highlights this. A good sized frunk, lots of knee room in the second row for him at 6'4" (although he didn't state any settings for front seat...

IIRC they are currently saying end of 2026. Seems like they and probably others were waiting for a number of standards to get finalized, but don't understand why the delay until the end of the year at this stage. I'll probably go Enphase for the whole system inc solar, home battery and charger...

The point people seem to be making is that if the 12V power goes away then the button to open the door won't work, even if the door is unlocked. That means having to find the hidden mechanical release system to open the door mechanically from the inside. So the question then becomes how robust...

Well aware of child safety locks as I mentioned in my OP and also in the post you responded to. Ref the rest, DuoRivians described the BMW type of solution, which I wasn't aware of and hadn't considered, so I got that thanks.

This would be my concern too. Good points made with respect to this.

Scout Traveler is 7" longer than an R1S though with the 35" spare wheel carrier on the back, or you have to find somewhere else to store that spare (or do without) to get to its 191" body length. It also pretty much matches R1S height and width, so a significantly larger vehicle than R2. Seems...

So just to play Devil's Advocate here. What if Rivian and other manufacturers provide an internal release similar to the front doors as many advocate and a number of kids manage to fall out from a moving vehicle by using it to override the software driven child lock? There is a reason why...

Seems like if all you need is home backup then R2 should be able to support that using a transfer switch like your friend, especially if the R2 supports 11kW 220/240V AC output, which seems to be what they indicated at an analyst day. Since I'm retired, my requirement from R2 is to be able to...

It could be that they are choosing to limit torque for motor/drive train reliability and longevity, at least for now. Especially if they want to continue to offer 8 years or 120,000/150,000 mile warranties as a selling point versus competition.

The adapter plug is targeted at V2L applications. It doesn't mean it couldn't do light V2H but a means of isolating the home from the grid is required as soon as any energy supply is plugged into the home to avoid back feeding the grid and potentially electrocuting line workers in a grid down...

Something to consider. The vehicles used for this media launch might just have been equipped with the small battery. Rivian deliberately didn't provide specific battery capacity, charging or range numbers, or at least required them to be kept under embargo, if they briefed the media on them at...

Seems to be for soft roading, but probably not for the kind of offroad conditions that the R2 was demo'd on in the videos, where more clearance seemed to be required. Full specs attached, off road metrics below. Ground clearance 7.9", fording 15.7".

Not sure if I qualify as the "Mob" (I promise I haven't left any horse heads in beds recently) ;) Ref your point though, it depends on whether lidar has more value to Rivian for data collection for their autonomy ground truth data set versus any premium they might extract for its inclusion. I...

I wouldn't say never but Rivian would probably want/need to have an offering that starts in the mid 30's price range versus Slate and Maverick to hit volume sales in that lifestyle market that seems to be quite price sensitive. Maverick sold ~155k units in 2025 so the market size makes sense...

That is DC not AC though.

Those are 20 Amp rated sockets, so 2.4kW output max per socket. It wouldn't automatically mean both support 2.4kW max out simultaneously for total 4.8kW, but it seems likely because R2 supports AC V2x, so that socket will need to support significantly more than 5kW AC export power to be really...

So I've read the criticism of Rivian and other manufacturers emergency door opening system in this age of electric door latches. The issue has been raised in several threads already for R2 today, so here's a thread for it. I certainly acknowledge that there is scope for improvement and it seems...
