At first glance those two vehicles look similar in the carsize image but the shape difference at the nose and tail are pretty darn important for usable storage space. Useable, accessible cargo storage space is a big point in the R2s favor.

Several Internet articles say the back door handles will look like the front in the actual production version.

Reports are it is being redesigned https://www.motortrend.com/news/rivian-will-redesign-interior-door-handles-better-safety-after-tesla-like-complaints

I'm not really seeing a charging availablity problem....

"Like the Model Y and Jeep had a baby". What's not to like? I want it. I want it bad......

Maybe he was left out because he purposely drains batteries, leaves vehicles stranded on the side of the road and creates bad visuals for the casual observer. Or, he was left out because he gives questionable traveling charging advice that puts travelers at unnecessary risk and is bad for...

Agreed on the EX90. I know somebody that has one and hates it. One issue after another.

That battery capacity finding on A Better Route Planning might be a big nothingburger because there are battery capacities for R3 listed as well. All R2 and R3 capacities are listed is "estimate". Wait for the actual specs......

The Volvo will likely be significantly more expensive. Better range and charging but at a cost. Between cost, battery size and charging speed. For most people cost is most important and charging speed least important. All comparisons are premature at this point though without specs on either.

According to a post on InsideEV some press people have done test drives in the R2. Media embargo to be lifted Tuesday. OutOfSpecBits posted a video recently discussing this.

I’ve used plug and charge on Ionna a few times with my R1T. Flawless and fast.

Did you use that light on a Gen 1 or Gen 2. I had an LED light strip that worked on my Gen 1 but then did not work when I got a Gen 2.

I tried three different LED brake/turn strip lights on my Gen 2. Had intermittent functionality. Rivian service told me many LED auxiliary lights have an incompatible electrical resistance. As a final try I bought a set of boat trailer lights. That is working fine. I mount it under my roof...

Not too much new but a very nice overview of Rivian and R2. https://www.cnbc.com/2026/02/04/rivian-r2-suv-rj-scaringe.html

No kidding. If you hate driving that much get a minivan and have your teenager drive you around.

I did 7 hours of driving today. Mostly rural roads. I enjoyed driving my Rivian while listening to a The Rest Is History podcast. My day would have been much less enjoyable if I had had a computer drive my hot rod Rivian instead of me. I’m a pass on Autonomy + at any price.

My experience with the NMC max pack is that 90F is about the sweet spot for battery temperature. I'll also say I've seen more "speed limited by charger" issues with Tesla superchargers than other providers. Maybe try another provider just to see what happens??

I've shared this data many times on this forum but will do so again on this thread as it is an important topic of high interest. I've tracked my efficiency for 3 years now. I see around a ~30% drop in efficiency at 0 Degrees F relative to 70 deg. I currently have a Gen 2 R1T with the Max...

Echoing what @RivianRocks25 said. A 300 mile range EV (especially with LFP batteries) is a non-starter if you need to venture off the freeways in the upper midwest. -15F as I write this at 7:00 am!
