Green is considered boring on this forum bc many people have or had R1’s and it’s still an available color today. For those of us who came from Tesla or just about every other car manufacturer, green is unusual, fun, and cool looking. However, outside of purple also I don’t think any of the...

If my current car wasn’t a very similar silver color I’d be looking at getting this especially since it’s $0. But alas Forest green is IN!

Doesn’t look like it https://www.rivianforums.com/forum/threads/it%E2%80%99s-tuesday%E2%80%A6-any-invites-today.60469/

The difference between 65 mph and 75 mph is huge for range like you said. You aren’t getting more than ~250 miles on the R2 going 75mph+ unless you’re in IDEAL conditions, weather, elevation, road, cargo, tires, etc.

It means absolutely nothing in all respects.

From the videos I've seen on R2 that have DCFC in it, the sweet spot is going to be 10% (or less if you want) to 73% or so when road tripping. That takes around 20 min. It falls off a cliff shortly after 70%. That's why the 10% to 80% rating is 29 min. The 70 to 80% is slow and isn't worth...

I think we can pretty confidently say no it won't. If it's 75 degrees outside maybe you will eek out 300 miles going 75 mph (aka 4 hours of driving 75x4=300) but that would be absolutely best case scenario. I would say getting 250 miles going 75mph is a safe bet within normal temperature...

Hoping for the latter! But I have a feeling orders will start then...and "coming in August" could mean August 31st...sigh

Same and I own an M3P. The speed just isn't needed unless you're going for 1/4 mile times at the track. The R2 is a better sports car than most sports cars lol.

A Model Y and an R2 could not be more different vehicles IMO. The Model Y is a car that was bloated to a be a CUV (on the Model 3 platform). The R2 is a true SUV that maintains a unibody design and not body on frame like a truck, but is still a substantial size and feels like an SUV. I don't...

Tesla M3P is a great car; I own one currently. I just want more space and R2 is the first affordable, serious SUV I can buy so I'm getting it.

It is nearly impossible to compare insurance rates and shouldn't be done as the variables are infinite. Best to just discuss overall companies you've found to be cheaper, so I will say I've found Progressive to be remarkably cheaper for the same coverage vs. all the other guys - Geico, USAA...

I’m in a wait and see mode on this still. Third-party automotive research sites (like Car and Driver and Kelley Blue Book) confirm that the Rivian R2 has 8 airbags, which explicitly includes driver and front passenger knee airbags. I’m pretty sure they need them to pass the federal side impact...

Who said they don’t have knee airbags? Everything I’ve researched says they do. Standard equipment these days. https://www.kbb.com/rivian/r2/

Well it’s a $50k vs $100k vehicle now, so that’s not surprising. No one is delivering to your house for free unless you’re spending $$$.

Am I crazy or does that say July?

6-7 months lmao. Wonder what we are going to purchase in the meantime.

Not an off roader, a soccer mom SUV.

Once 800v chargers are ubiquitous and we have 10 to 80% in 15 minutes or less on most EV's, that'll be the winning ticket. Probably 2030 or so in my estimation. Even with fast charging, EV's lose a ton a of range at highway speed and when it gets cold so big-ish batteries are still needed...

EREV and similarly plug in hybrids are hilarious to me as a concept. You get the worse of both. Either get an EV or just drive an ICE vehicle.
