They are comparable in size and there is overlap in pricing with the iX3 likely to be $55-70k. Both are in the premium space with four year warranties. Off road capability is a differentiator but most people in this segment are not hardcore off roading so the AWD iX3 will suffice for most people...

You found one of the few midnight vehicles

When I did a tour in 2023 there was nothing about the previous history. It was a good tour but focused solely on Rivian which makes sense.

It is one of the brightest colors as most of the others (such as Forest Green, Borealis) are quite dark.

No just a launch edition for the R2 as a whole and that will be the performance trim.

Welcome, surprised your wife works for CArB and yet you have six cars including several ICE ones,

They should be a) this is a self selecting poll and b) they want people to pay extra for paint

Well you don’t have to imagine it given the number of independent reviews from last November’s event. We will have additional reviews when the US event is held in a few months time. Completely new architecture so not sure the value of comparing and old ICE design with a new ground up EV design...

Is the autonomy included in the price? From reviews the iX3 autonomy looked good and if that is “free” then that helps close any price gap with upper trim R2’s.

Agree that the potential for L4 with the RAP1 is not a big enough reason to hold back. Rest of vehicle will be the same in March 2027 as it is in June 2026. Odd that they would charge for launch green but not the other colors. Also could be clearer that all the other colors are included in the...

Ah sorry misunderstood. I can understand that is was not the most interesting got informative part of the video. Easily skipped.

Hardly editorializing to mention a couple of points mentioned. Intent was to inform people before they spent the time listening. Can’t please everyone it seems!

Not sure you can compare a several year old (design wise) large ICE SUV with a new, smaller EV SUV.

Understand what you are saying but Tesla is already highly valued and needs to execute to perfection for years to grow INTO their P/E ratio.

Interesting interview with RJ that starts at 15:25. Follow on from their podcast last week focused on R2. Mentions possibility of licensing autonomy platform to VW. Also a good discussion of market positioning.

I didn’t catch that one watching, I think he said (or meant to say) all colors are available - which is different from included (which would be no cost). We will see when the configurator comes out.

Thanks for sharing. I have only seen a handful of black Rivians - similar numbers to yellow.

What will be interesting is reviewers like himself, MKBHD and Doug who will review the R2, iX3 and EX60 what is their relative ranking and do they all agree one of these is the best.

Launch green is muted.

Black was not popular for the R1 either when looking at the parking lots of the service centers. I am surprised they changed LA silver and El Cap Granite with very similar replacements. From a simplification with R1 I thought they would align - unless R1 changes pin to those colors.
