Hahaha. I think I’ve spent too much time away from New England to remember the lingo. I left in 2007, and though I moved backed for a couple years in 2021-22, I traveled a lot and wasn’t there long enough to properly re-integrate.

Is this coming to the US as of now…I know it was back and forth for a while.

Former Bostonite here. Born and raised up there. When I lived downtown, I had chargers in the garage of my building so it made life easy…but i’m curious what your typical charging routine is. I found it difficult to find easily accessible public charging around the city when I needed it. I didnt...

I saw it at a launch event at the Boston Rivian Space a while back. Got to see the R2 as well. The R2 looked and felt premium and not too small in person. I think it being taller and more boxy gives it a lot more presence than something like a Model Y or Macan EV. The R3X Blue is stunning...

If that R3X Laguna color becomes available I’ll be very happy. I saw it in person and it’s fire.

The optics of this would be ridiculous. They can’t launch their new mass market platform that RJ has been openly advertising as significantly cheaper to build and aimed and significantly expanding Rivian accessibility and price it $5k less than the R1. I know cheaper models are down the line...

Uh, yes, you are. This is supposed to be a mass market vehicle and most people don’t pay cash. I’ve purchased most of my cars outright but I do like the idea of leasing EVs since I don’t keep cars long and the depreciation hit is rough. Really just depends on the math. Most of my EV buying...

I hope they don’t kill R1 and I doubt they will. I think they’ll continue to take what they learned with R2 and refine R1 to make it less complex. I agree a lower priced variant with a simpler suspension would be a good idea. The R2 is too small for some families. Tesla only cares about...

The R2 having like 200hp more than the iX3 at launch is a big deal I think. We’ll see.

Right around $60k. Same price as the launch iX3 and EX60 but faster and better equipped. It is risky launching with a premium variant but I suspect it’s probably smart. Maybe they’ll include hands free driving for free.

This is what happens during any development cycle. Especially when building something to meet a price point. Obviously it was determined that those were features the masses dont care as much about. I know I personally couldn’t care less about them. They kept a LOT. The interior quality looks...

This has to be a performance dual motor for launch. I can’t imagine they wont eventually release a more reasonable AWD variant with more range and less power. Time will tell.

Really??? I feel like I get close to stated range except for certain circumstances…and my range still shows the exact same as when new after 2 years. Yours only shows 284 when charged to 100%?

I’m ok with that. I was worried only the slower variants would break 300 miles but thats not the case.

RJ Said well under 3. Gonna be a monster. Prob at least $75k but worth every penny.

MKBHD showed the range in his video. The car had 83% charge…my basic mathing indicates 3.1 miles per 1% of charge, or a 310 mile range for the Dual AWD launch edition. Right in line with the 306 mile range in the Model Y Performance that this launch edition seems aimed at In specs and pricing...

Nope, ICE Volvos. Had a friend with a late model XC90 (don’t know the spec) and two with late model S60 T6’s and they are/were always in the shop. May be a fluke, but that combined with the horrendous EX90 roll out has really put me off of Volvo. I’m glad to hear some people have good...

I don’t know anyone with a Volvo that hasn’t had lots of problems.

I mean….its obviously going to be a short range, smaller battery, single motor RWD for $45k. What else would you expect. Nicely equipped likely means it‘ll come with a lot standard and be on par with the Model Y Premium AWD, which is also $45k. The range will be significantly less...

Maybe. I think launching at a higher price than Volvo and BMW with less range would be a huge misstep though. We'll see soon (tomorrow) hopefully.
