    Which might make it very close to the silver on my old 2008 Audi A6 :)

    My showroom doesn't have a sample panel in Esker Silver and the water bottle is the older LA Silver from R1.

    Congrats! Looking forward to your pictures as Esker silver is currently a ghost in public.

    With audio there's just no "properly" that users agree on. ;)

    Good customer service is hard to find and most reps are just getting to know the car. Not an excuse, just an observation. That "someone" should be you. It's on us, the prospective buyers, to read the owner's manual and do the research. Somebody like yourself for whom this is a key concern...

    Took another test drive this morning for about thirty minutes. Last time was on the 20's, this time on the 21's. Drove over some of the same stretches of rough pavement and tried the various ride settings. As expected, the 21's do ride a little stiffer and transfer more of the bumps and ruts...
  9. R2 Reverse camera parking guide lines?

    Yes- correct. Dunno what I was thinking when I typed that.
  10. R2 Roof Sun Shade

    Not necessarily. Metallic coatings on the surface often reduce reflectivity or aid in passthrough reduction. In some auto glass with true IR reduction, it's in one of the laminated interlayers. Dunno what the reality is with the R2 roof, but I haven't seen it it explicitly claimed to reduce IR.

    This is front but backup guides too.
  12. R2 Roof Sun Shade

    There are mechanical latches on each door.
  14. No real AM or FM radio in the R2

    You can WiFi hotspot.
  17. Adjusting R2 front A/C vents

    Just looked that up in the owner's manual. Looks like passenger doesn't currently have ability to turn their side off via the vent pill.
  18. R2 First Drive Reviews - Articles & Videos 📰 🎬

    There are some casual 0-60's and braking stabs. Nothing on a track that I've seen
  19. Adjusting R2 front A/C vents

    When Jose @RivianTrackr taps what he calls "Face Air" his hand covers the screen but looks like passenger side turns off? I'm told you're supposed to be able to tap either pill on the screen, driver or passenger and turn that one off. I'm doing another drive tomorrow, I'll look/ask again.
  20. R2 Demo Drive Scheduling is LIVE! Anyone book test drive yet?

    Not true - I rode in the back while the wife drove and they didn't bother me (6'2").
