I saw this too and I think he just wanted an excuse to say he cancelled, if you’re in a disaster prone area you already should have a portable crank radio for emergencies anyways.
Yeah I also just had Rivian reaffirm to me on IG I will be able to order a Borealis LE if I get pulled, I reserved at the end of the event in 2024 so I’d certainly hope i’m pulled by September 😭
I’d rather get LE because the included options and Autonomy+ is a higher priority to me than hands off from LiDAR, and Rivian told me this on X so 🤷🏽♂️
Pros: Ventilated seats are amazing, roof glass feels sufficiently tinted factory, seats are very comfortable, door bottle areas are biiiig, software is snappy, fantastic entry height.
Cons: HVAC is pretty loud at full blast but I think I saw somewhere that is planned to be updated along with...
So is yours basically ordered and they’ll let you know when it starts build or is on its way to you? Did they clarify any of that since yours can’t start production yet?
This, Rivian is (imo) trying to maximize specs on R2 to increase demand while still (hopefully) having a profitable vehicle to create a larger customer base.
I wish I could find something that shows the depth of the color, the closest I can get is this showing a little bit of speckle and it’s on an R1. My wife and I are going to a service center this weekend to see the color sample in person so hopefully that helps.
