Counterpoints - if you are actually off-roading, the gap is smaller. R2 has a bit shorter wheelbase. With traditional suspension, it might be easier to put a 2-3" lift on the R2. Highest in R1 is only for specific scenarios, High is just over 13", so that already equalizes things. This really...

I'd be willing to downsize. Smaller size and weight are generally appealing to me, although the storage in R1S is nice. I would have to sacrifice some off roading ability, but that's probably ok. When I got the R1S (2023), there was no other EV SUV with reasonable 4WD and ground clearance...

Thanks for the clarification, my bad.

Compass Yellow

Saw on one of these that under-trunk storage compartment is gone. Any suggestions on how to store a full size spare on an R2? Probably going to have to be a swing-away mount on the back?

EV Sportline and other Rivian specific sellers have good installation videos. You or the shop can use those to figure out the install and wiring situation even if you don't use their products. It would be cheaper to buy lights and wires yourself. The only question mark for a shop is probably how...

That's the fun thing about Rivian proximity lock, you get different results every time.

We don't know the facts about R2, we will know more in a couple days. But yes, an egg shaped car with the same battery pack size will have significantly more range than an actual SUV. If you care about range, buy the egg.

This might be a little pessimistic. The Gravity is a bit larger. Also, may depend on what you mean by highway speeds. R1 can get 2.5-2.6 mi/kWh at highway speeds, meaning 70-75 mph (not 80-85). Anyway, Gravity's EPA range/capacity is 3.6+ mi/kWh, if R2 gets that from the EPA, the range numbers...

The grill brackets are from Skookum Racing and are pricey but great. I went with Morimoto 2-Banger amber fog lights, but I’m sure Diode Dynamics is great. For wiring, I would look for guides for installing ditch lights, which a few companies sell as a kit and include instructions. I think I saw...

Thank you for posting civilly. Respectfully, whoever told you this stuff is misleading you. I'm not a climate scientist but I have talked to them and 1-3 are incorrect. Not expecting you to change your mind based on an anonymous car forum post.

No chance. Your list is missing black, off-white, white-ish, silver, and grey.

Thanks for this data. I'm sure that the preheating the battery is a big help to keeping your efficiency reasonable. That said, your battery chemistry is NMC and this thread is about the LFP batteries.

"The best and worst vehicle to move with" This could apply to R1S too. Tons of volume. But try putting a box that is 2.5ft tall in the back.

The magic of software updates. By 2030 my Gen 1 quad should be in the 2.4s range.

Compact or neither.

I really like this approach. For city driving 190" would be a nice improvement on the R1S length. (Too bad the Scout will be just as wide as R1S if I understand right.) Then put a spare on the back for adventuring.

To be clear Scout is planning to make pure electric versions.

Ice is ice. Studded tires or chains.

There is also a plastic piece over the trailer hitch that pulls off. Those are the only other things I can think of that are removable from the vehicle.
