R2 media day is coming in early 2026....we'll know all the juicy details soon!

Pretty sure V2H is coming with Rivian.

Well, with the upcoming EREV, you can just add gas to the tank when the truck battery runs low during an extended outage.

FWIW....There's been complaints all over here about the Premium Audio ever since Rivian dropped Meridian as a partner. Too bad, I sure hope they offer a decent system in the R2 and get it right!

I hear they're working on a Flux Capacitor.....

Honestly, seems like a good move for the demographic that buys traditional F150 trucks. This will drive like an EV and get them used to that, but keep the owners happy with the ability to stop at gas stations 🤣. Hopefully Ford can make money on them.

Buying a piece of technology today, one has to assume it's outdated very shortly down the road. Still very usable, mind you...but all technology gets replaced with the latest and greatest within a few years time. I feel many don't have this mindset when buying and get frustrated when the next...

If anyone is buying a piece of technology today, it's a given it's out dated in a few years time. Still very usable mind you, but it will be older tech in no time. I think many do not have that mindset and get frustrated when the latest greatest comes out.

I get it, every automaker needs to have at least one foot into the self driving and AI hype right now. But I would also love to see this company have world class charging speeds and efficiency with their next product, I sure hope they're dedicating R&D into this too.

We don't even know if the lidar is going to be standard, it could very well be optional. There are many details yet that still need to be released which it sounds like they will have a special event early next year all about R2.

Me! I have no interest in my R2 driving its self except the hands free when cruise control is set on highway...which it doesn't need lidar for.

All of the clarity will come when they have the R2 day next year to disclose details of this new platform. The info dump is coming...patience.

Looking forward to hearing all the details during the AI & Autonomy day tomorrow!

Yes, it's looking to be long term sustainable growth...not the unhealthy exponential growth expected from Wall Street and those only looking at the next quarter.

I think Rivian will get there sooner than you think, we'll see soon what the charging curve is for the R2...I'm confident it will be better than R1. But eventually, the industry is heading towards 800v and DCFC will be upgraded to accommodate.

BMW has invested into the SC factory, it's confirmed they will make EV's there. One would assume the iX3 will be one of them.

I would imagine most DCFC will be upgraded down the road as 800v becomes more of the normal.

Please stop arguing, it's ruining the generally positive vibe of this forum.

On specs alone, I'd buy this over the R2 but the overall vibe of the Rivian wins me over. The BMW's styling is fine with me and honestly will probably be more refined with NVH and overall quality....but I always root for the underdog in a fight. Go Rivian!

His reaction when flooring it onto the highway is great! (29:30) Also, Rivian has confirmed the RAD and Kick Turn are coming for the Quad so it's got to be soon.
