That's very helpful. I appreciate learning about everyone's lease experience. My first EV was a Chevy Bolt, which we leased for the same reason of quickly changing technology. I just know that I will be putting on more than 15k miles per year, so I think buying is more realistic for me...
Hello,
When did Rivian start leasing the R1T? Were most of them for 3 years? Do we anticipate that residuals and/or warranty terms will entice people to keep them or return them?
I'm interested in eventually getting an R1T Dual Max. It looks like that combination was offered...
I was excited about the Launch Package (Performance) with all that was included, but all I need is the Premium trim. Take the LE/Performance and select 20" wheels ($1k addition), that comes out to $60,490. Take the Premium, add the towing and Autonomy +, with the stock 20" wheels that totals...

Howdy,
I'd appreciate any help in understanding what will likely happen for those with later reservations and selected Launch Edition. I'm a late adopter (among this group) and only just got mine ordered last month, March 2026.
1. Will there be some cutoff in the reservation list...
Thank you for updating the Rivian Tire Guide to include the R2 options, as best as they are known. My main consideration for tires is for ski trips each winter, and so I tend to prefer 3PMS rated tires (favorites are Michelin Crossclimate 2). Am I correct in seeing that 20" wheels would give...
Hi All, I reserved yesterday for the R2 Performance Launch Edition. Does anyone know if there will be a Launch Edition for the Premium trim when it becomes available?
