So, I’m a day 1 R2 reservation holder and I will be getting the LE as soon as they let me order. I am currently in NM working on a project and will be here until Oct. I’m curious if anyone has experience with registering a new vehicle in CA while temporarily working in another state. I live in...
What updates will the gen 3 hardware have that the LE R2 won’t have? All it’s getting is lidar and a new chipset to handle it. If you don't care about self-driving, the LE will be fine for a lease term.

Validation builds for R2 are progressing on our pilot line!! Can’t wait for R2!!
Moderator update: Rivian reiterated today that R2 production is on track to begin first half 2026, with a starting price of $45K.
Close up look at new R2 wheels design.
I think in 2026, the dual-motor with color options and 330 miles of range wil fall between $55-60k. The tri-motor with 315 miles of range and color options will probably fall between $65-70k. Tri-motor likely coming first half of 2026. Dual-motor maybe second half of 2026 or first half of 2027...
