Dealerships also do have a plus...providing a traditional service center that is reliable, with many more locations. I have owned several BMWs, easily of all legacy brands my favorite buying and servicing experience.

Not really. Trim vs trim level, pricing is more along the lines of this: iX3 40sdrive ~ $50k iX3 40xdrive ~ $55k iX3 50xdrive ~ $60k BMW will carry about a +/- $5k premium over R2. I would bet the BMW leases are the same or better than the R2. BMW always has competitive leasing.

I like it a lot, BMW is on a roll. Specs look class leading like the iX3.

Getting worried with the amount of people in this thread with bladder issues. You definitely should not have to use the restroom every 3 hours. Some of you need to get your PSA levels checked. Does everyone on Rivian forum live in senior living?

Nissan Leaf now being the least expensive with 300+ mile range. 2026 Nissan Leaf (303 miles, $29,990)

Going by the amount of confusion about things on this forum. They left a lot of questions unanswered. The planned live stream would have maybe cleared some things up, but they cancelled it.

He never said silver and launch green were the only colors. In fact he went through colors and considered picking something else. He also mentioned All Terrain 20's being available on LE.

Kyle from Out of Spec also said in his recent R2 full tour video, LE will not have Coastal Cloud option. He too is disappointed as he is getting a LE, but wanted the light interior.

To me that reads LE customers get one more paint color in addition to normal colors.

Or it ends up being a software locked battery. It honestly doesn't make any sense it has same hp, tq, and 0-60 as larger battery Standard. Also the fact they just changed the range spec in less than 24hrs, because embargoed 265 got leaked the day before and got some ridicule.

Also there seems to be a number people on R2 reservation list, even though they really just want an R3.

Standard SR has same 0-60, HP, TQ as the Standard LR. Battery size is just "TBD".

Perf vs Perf...the Model Y Perf does have no-cost paint upgrade and white interior. Those will surely be $2-$3k on R2 Perf. The value is in the LE R2 Perf with the no-cost Auto+ and Tow package.

Just looking at interior choices on R1 that are not paired with sound & vision are still $2500 to $3000. Tesla charges $1000 for their white interior. I'd expect at minimum to be no less than Tesla.

I agree. I am actually amazed Rivian was able to get this efficiency number using any of EPA testing cycles. This seems to be what they submitted to EPA. We will see what independent testing gets in mixed driving scenarios.

I don't see why it would be standard. I am sure it will be at least $3k option. Less than R1S interiors, but still pricey. I got a feeling the margins are going to be in the option pricing. Tesla paint/interiors are high. I don't see Rivian being any less, most likely more expensive.

95kwh w/ 87.9kwh usable equates to 7.5% buffer. So 75kwh battery could be 69.4kwh usable capacity using same buffer. 345miles/87.9kwh = 3.95 m/kwh (standard large rwd) 3.95 x 69.4kwh = 274 mile range So it does math out almost exactly to their base model range est. They could pull a Tesla...

Yes, all other specs are same as 87.9kwh pack. You would think base would also be lighter via smaller pack. Having same hp/tq the 0-60 should then be better. Battery Usable just says "TBC" because that haven't figure out how much capacity to lock(this is old Tesla move). Customers hoping for...

Seeing embargoed R2 spec sheets that were given to press prior to today, they did show 265miles for base R2. Rivian definitely saw feedback online yesterday and changed base to 275+. Just a guess...but the base model could just be a software locked battery pack. Allowing them to change...

I still have doubts about the 3.75 m/kwh. Real world tests will be interesting. Rivian has been known to use different EPA tests(5-cycle vs 2-cycle), to get their desired results on various trims.
