They were careful to say "currently available in North America" since the Volvo EX60 has 254 TOPS.

He mentions a few things here like "premium interior" that suggests that there might be more than one interior grade and also that the $45K model will go on sale "Shortly" after the LE. He was being pressured on the $45K price and seems like he didn't want to say when. Also says that LE will...

Would something like this work on my 2023 R1S? It's rated at 10KW. What's the max I can draw from the R1S? It says the input voltage is within the 290–450V range.

It would be great if the R2 worked with this or Rivian sold an accessory to do the same thing.

Many in California qualify for a free transfer switch from PG&E. I got one and currently use it to plug in my generator to power the house when the power goes out. My friend who has a Lightning just uses his Lightning to power his house during outages since it has a 9.6kW 220V outlet. Super...

If they want to sell in high volume they will need to fend off competition from the low end like the Toyota C-HR, bZ and Subaru clones. Toyota is being aggressive with $5000-$6500 rebates on both the C-HR and bZ right now which puts them far below the R2. Of course you get what you pay for but...

I'm in the same boat. It seems like the LE R2 will be priced at the current value of my R1S. I really prefer the size of the R2 however, the specs on the launch R2 make it hard to consider a "swap". The R2 will be much more efficient and have longer range so that's a plus. I think having the...

I totally agree. The Ford Lightning has a 9.6KW 220V output which is great for power outages. I was hoping for something like that as an option on the R2.

Good to know. Thanks for pointing that out.

They will need to price the R2 very carefully. Subaru is pushing pretty hard into the EV space and will have 4 pure EVs by the end of the year that will also appeal to the "outdoorsy" types on more of a budget. The entry model Subaru is only $35K (FWD) and for $40K you can get a nicely...

Really hoped it would be 220V. That would be ideal. Maybe there are multiple versions of the adapter (V2L and V2H). It would be great if it was as powerful as the 220V output on the Lightning. The BMW iX3 supports 11kW V2H.

Looks nice. 320 miles of range. Has wireless Carplay. Made in USA. Estimated to start at $55K. Subaru and Lexus versions due by end of the year too.

The only mention of audio came from Motor Trend and it was just one sentence so no real idea how it sounds but this explains the missing speakers in the doors. "A new firewall-mounted vibration-canceling dual subwoofer frees up room in the front door panels to stow tall water bottles and sounds...

That's awesome. If I can get ~250 miles with 80% charge with AT tires then I'll be super happy.

I haven't watched all of the reviews yet but so far no mention of the audio system. Did any of the reviewers listen to any music? Curious to know how the "new firewall-mounted vibration-canceling dual subwoofer" sounds. Motor Trend says it "Sounds good". That's not much help.

I assume those estimates are with the aero rims and high efficiency tires. Need to subtract 5-10% range for AT tires.

And the Toyota Highlander EV will be built in the USA too.

It will be interesting to see how the new Toyota Highlander EV is priced. The hybrid Grand Highlander starts under $50K so the EV model might be about $60K. Could impact R2 price. Full reveal of the new Highlander EV is February 10!

I suspect the LE R2 will be fully loaded 2 motor AWD with a large battery so probably around $60K. I hope they also release pricing for other models (less and more expensive and w/ LiDAR) otherwise I will probably wait until more info is released so I can make a more informed decision.
