All of the reductions/optimizations they said did for R2 from Gen2 R1, plus the R2's smaller size and lower weight, I would guess. And the Y may not be as optimized for efficiency as it could be, but optimized for production cost/profit.

Ah... so conjecture based on anecdotal impression. Not facts. We might as well slaughter a goat and read entrails. It's 2026, not 1026.

The SC who did the inspection doesn't do alignments? Most alignment shops don't have Rivian's specs in their system, so they can't do it. Unless you grab & print an alignment sheet shared by one of the forum members for the shop to reference—here's one of many examples from forum search—and that...

And that's enough performance for nearly all enthusiasts who can only afford to buy and keep 1 car, be stuck in traffic most of the time, driving themselves to the daily rat race. The same description for most enthusiast cars one could buy as new from the dealers today. 0-60 is the most usable...

Yes, I got that from your previous post. I am trying to get the other person to put more meat onto the bones of their post—i.e. "too close for comfort", but how much in actual measurement is that? is it the same clearance or tighter than the R1S images you shared—so that the post is more...

And adding less weight than weight of that Lambo V12—and fuel (oh boy you're gonna need that fuel)—in doing so.

Too many factors are involved with user reports on efficiency. People live/drive in different climates, elevations and air density. They also drive on different road surfaces and have different driving habits. Only $200 total different between the two sets? If you need tires now, why sweat? Get...

Rivian never announced plans to make a bespoke competition version of the R3X. They also never said "impossible". And outside of Extreme-E, which is a spec series (every team/competitor gets same car), there isn't one a race-prepped R3X could race in. A new WRC class or one-make series would...

False. R3, dual and single motor variants, targeting different price points—just like R2 and its trims. R3X, tri-motor, wider stance, performance-oriented suspension, power delivery, driving dynamics and interior design. All published known facts, including the premise of the RAD sub-brand and...

How close was close on the R1T bumper? similar to what is posted above of the R1S? and could you still lower the tailgate with the rack mounted?

Plus… Glaring flaws in calling it a “modern VW Rabbit”, which shows lack of knowledge. Both have wheels and doors, plus a two-box design. That is about where the similarities end; even if compared to a base trim R3 instead of the R3X. The Rabbit was a very basic front mounted water-cooled...

Where did I say it’s perfect?! Direct your frustration at Rivian. I did not create RA and your problems.

Ouch. I’d be livid if I was the owner. Isn’t the service tool site run by Snap On Tools? read that here long ago. Maybe Schumacher is no longer a supplier? Or, that model is soon to be replaced by newer.

Google “r/rivian Wassym AMA”, first result: https://www.reddit.com/r/RivianR2/s/NCFxdnh8Xu As for folks having problems with RA, upon initiation right after install, there were a sequence of screens with instructions and tips. If you breezed through them without reading… your difficulties most...

Wow. Way off the mark.

As long as you stay with same tire size as delivered from Rivian, you don't need to do anything to the operating system. Unless, Rivian happen to have decided to offer a software profile for that specific winter tire (unlikely). Without a specific tire profile, based on hours of testing and...

Ah so one side more severe than the other. With my mid-year '23 I told Lake Forest, CA the entire front end drops over a few days. Showed them picture, but didn't take measurement or do the tape. They wrote up work order for shock replacement, kept the truck overnight and ruled that it was...

The idea of seeing the R3X catching air in Rally Finland make me giddy.

This is the kind of "fake" I can accept. After all, it is a performance-oriented car from a performance car brand. And every sensory feedback (including auditory) is part of the performance driving experience. The kind of fake I can't stand are the arbitrary ones, or ones that try to fake a...

Maybe. Or they're just looking beyond their existing customer base and trying to grow their business. Y'know, like when Porsche rolled out their first SUV ever and how their base (and journalists) cried and moaned over it. Now look at them, gotten so big that they are panicking: "the world is...
