  1. R2 Color Ranking

    Ignoring price and availability: Forest Green Half Moon Grey Catalina Cove Esker Silver (putting here bc I believe it actually may be very nice) Launch Green Glacier White Borealis Midnight Black seats and cars are a hard pass for me. HOT
  2. R2 order emails now going out

    It does not but most paint colors are not free from any OEM.
  3. R2 order emails now going out

    The only color missing the from the color wheel of the most cars sold is red...and it's #6 lol. https://www.edmunds.com/most-popular-car-colors/
  4. CNBC: Rivian laying off hundreds of workers amid R2 launch

    I don't consider Lucid a real company. It is a fun project by the Saudi's like LIV Golf was. Loss leader not to be taken seriously.
  5. Finished R2 demo test drive? Share your review / impressions

    I will be doing the same but waiting for the AT's to wear out before swapping. Based on what I've seen and heard, the AT tires are Rivian compound that isn't noisy or rough like normal AT's and actually very comfortable.
  6. CNBC: Rivian laying off hundreds of workers amid R2 launch

    Not that surprising if you know how Corp America works...but still very unfortunate for those impacted. Been there before myself. https://www.cnbc.com/2026/06/16/rivian-layoffs.html Rivian said Tuesday it was laying off hundreds of workers, or less than 2% of its workforce, as the EV maker...
  7. R2 Launch Edition expectations

    Based on anecdotal evidence, the take rate is very low currently, especially without all the options even being available yet for $60k. This isn't a problem bc it seems like production is also (obviously) low as well. It will come to a head shortly once they get all the options released and...
  8. R2 Launch Edition expectations

    To be fair all those influencers have day 1 reservations also. They're not jumping the line; they’re in the front.
  9. No real AM or FM radio in the R2

    You think the people in their 20s are making decisions in Corp America? Lol they’re just worker bees. The decisions rest with Max, RJ, and Jeff. In fact RJ said in his recent videos he’s often the tiebreaker between Max and Jeff.
  10. No real AM or FM radio in the R2

    Max is R2 chief engineer and he probably just turned 40 based on his LinkedIn page. Jeff Hammond is the chief design offer who is 46. RJ is 43 years old for reference also. It's a relatively young company, but not a bunch of kids in their 20s making cars.
  11. R2 order emails now going out

    Most locations haven't even had ANY deliveries yet. Like zero at a given Rivian center; they're starting next week.
  12. No real AM or FM radio in the R2

    Bc compromise.
  13. No real AM or FM radio in the R2

    The chief design officer is 46 years of age. Boomers have largely all retired now and the vacuum is being filled by millennials and Gen X. Rivian, like Tesla, is a tech focused car company. There are plenty of legacy OEM's with FM radio. That's not Rivian's target demographic. Younger...
  14. R2 Launch Edition expectations

    This x1000. No such thing as being fiscally responsibly in government or even an appearance of it anymore. We're doomed by both parties in the next 5-10 years. We argue about stupid stuff while the feds keep printing and the deficit hits $40T. Can't tax the rich our way out of trillions of...
  15. R2 order emails now going out

    I have a feeling a lot of people are waiting for coastal cloud interior or other paint colors. They heavily pulled up coastal cloud and forest green/borealis to just 2 months after launch vs EOY like they initially said just weeks prior to that. I don't think they are making very many R2's...

    Is everyone just spoiled with the Tesla sound system? Is that something Tesla is just really good at? Even this guy below says his brand new GX550 with Mark Levinson premium sound upgrade sucks and has no bass. Said it's not even worth the upgrade.
  17. I’m a little surprised - no R2 flips yet?

    I think they've delivered like 5 vehicles thus far lol. Gotta give it multiple weeks time before people really start having them. Most people who got order invites didn't even get them til literally on June 9th, only 7 days ago. Takes time to ship cars and schedule deliveries and even then it...
  18. R2 Roof Sun Shade

    Yes, agreed but just trying to point out it's not just some privacy glass. It does have aluminum in it to reject UV and some level of IR.
  19. R2 Roof Sun Shade

    Aluminum coating rejects IR. It was rapid fire questions so he simply omitted IR and said UV and not both IMO. But he did say aluminum coating which definitely rejects IR. Physics would dictate that with the "aluminum coating". Not saying it's the best thing in the world, just saying it must...
  20. Finance vs. Lease the R2 -- the math

    Maybe ignorant on my part, but I would imagine R1 has a lot of manufacturing and BOM inefficiencies based on how they are speaking about R2. I bet they could get R1 costs down in Gen3. Seems like there is a lot of room for improvement
