  1. Finished R2 demo test drive? Share your review / impressions

    Did sport mode help the acceleration? Also I heard there was a bug in the AC software where down is up and up is down when pointing the vents on the screen
  2. CNBC: Rivian laying off hundreds of workers amid R2 launch

    "The company said the cuts hit Rivian's service and customer organization, including sales and marketing teams." From Reuters.
  3. What charging gear does R2 come with? [ADMIN WARNING: NO POLITICS]

    Only states that have adopted CARB rules requiring it to be provided for free.
  4. Would you go with 20" wheels or 21" wheels on Launch Edition R2?

    All things being equal, a smaller rim will provide more range due to lower rotational inertia. Put simply, when the mass of the wheel is closer to the center it is more efficient. When you get a large rim, the heavy metal the rim is made out of extends further from the center vs on a smaller...
  5. What charging gear does R2 come with? [ADMIN WARNING: NO POLITICS]

    Probably don't need the adapter bundle unless you have a specific use case and even then you can buy them individually for $35-$45 each. The mobile connector comes with 5-15 and 14-50 adapters.
  6. CNBC: Rivian laying off hundreds of workers amid R2 launch

    I would like to point out that no one is immune from layoffs in the USA, despite how we may feel about it. Including Tesla and the federal government. The education sector is going to learn this shortly, from public school systems to colleges - a sector that has largely been immune from it in...
  7. R2 Color Ranking

    I have an order invite since last week and I'm itching to order every day...but gotta be patient for forest green and coastal cloud. My order will be in the second they appear in the configurator in August.
  8. What charging gear does R2 come with? [ADMIN WARNING: NO POLITICS]

    They all adopted the CARB rules requiring EV companies to provide them starting in 2026 model year.
  9. Would you go with 20" wheels or 21" wheels on Launch Edition R2?

    Good info and it makes sense to me bc the AT tires are a watered down Rivian version, and in this case watered down is a good thing. Not 3PMSF and a different rubber compound, likely for range and NVH. Probably the least "aggressive" AT you can find yet still capable.
  10. What charging gear does R2 come with? [ADMIN WARNING: NO POLITICS]

    Comes with nothing unless you're in one of the states below: "Customers registering a new R2 in CA, CO, DC, DE, MA, MD, NJ, NM, NY, OR, RI, VT and WA qualify for a discount equal to the price of this product. We’ll automatically apply your discount during the purchase process before delivery of...
  11. Why You Should Get an R2 Over an R1S

    Ok your original post was unclear bc you said R1 and R2 have the same battery cells, which is incorrect. R1 is a larger battery so of course it will have a higher peak, but it charges MUCH slower than R2.
  12. Why You Should Get an R2 Over an R1S

    Huh? I just gave you the video that shows the R2 charging curve. That isn't my opinion - it's literally in the video of an R2 charging. R2 is also NCMA not NMC.
  13. Why You Should Get an R2 Over an R1S

    The R2 charges faster without a doubt for sure. I linked the video in the above post. 6% to 78% in 28 minutes. C rate is what is important here when comparing R1 vs R2 charging: R1: 200 kW / 140 kWh pack = 1.43 C R2: 200 kW / 88 kWh pack = 2.27 C R1 charges comically slow bc it is kW limited...
  14. Why You Should Get an R2 Over an R1S

    This is incorrect; R1 and R2 have completely different cells. R1 uses 2170 NCA cells while R2 uses 4695 NCMA cells. The one video below shows the charging curve from 6% to 78% in 28 minutes. He got into the upper 180s and it held for a long time unlike Tesla. Very different curve than a...
  15. Would you go with 20" wheels or 21" wheels on Launch Edition R2?

    I think the question is which rims do you like more? Ignore the aftermarket tire question. I think people (this forum) are making too big of a deal on that. I like the 20" rims more so I'm going with that. I don't want an SUV with massive pothole rims, not to mention I don't even like the...
  16. R2 Color Ranking

    I think they went with more neutral colors as this is a mass market vehicle designed to profitable, not a $100k niche product. IMO
  17. R2 Launch Edition expectations

    Yes, both things are true. People are acting like the influencers shouldn’t be upset same as everyone on here who is upset with a day 1 reservation and no order. And I imagine the influencers ordered very quickly too along with many others. Everyone is in the same boat.
  18. No real AM or FM radio in the R2

    20 pages! LETS GO
  19. R2 order emails now going out

    Yes, so "most paint colors are not free" as I said. (Esker Silver for R2 is free)
