Brownie points for guessing where.

@Budman excellent report! We did a similar trip to Sedona last week and it was beautiful! Curious how you were able to extract elevation vs distance data from plugshare maps?

I guess they didn't do it sooner, as they probably had enough demand from post March 2022 orders. Now that demand has slowed down due to high interest rates etc, makes sense to open this up and clear inventory. Also helps clear the pre March order book and streamline orders going forward.

Anyone knows why QM lease prices are lower than DM, even though the QM purchase prices are higher in the shop?

Happens to me nearly all the time. My brain has just gotten trained to it by now, and automatically becomes more cautious. If they fix it, my brain will take a while to retrain ?.

What would be the approximate purchase price per unit in your case, if you don't mind sharing? Would FleetOS come included or is that an additional monthly/annual service fee? Also what alternatives are you considering and where do those land price-wise?

And I've got to have my snow cone machine...

I feel the novelty and excitement of owning an EV is wearing off, due to most early adopters probably already owning one. To take it to the next level, EVs will now need to compete with ICE cars, and be truly competitive in terms of price, features, convenience, ease of use etc etc. ie all the...

There are way too many car designs and use cases, which is why the only reasonable solution IMO to this is to have long enough cables that can reach anywhere. Gas stations figured this out a long time ago. Tesla simply can't expect others to shoehorn into their myopic vision.

For reference, Model 3 had around 200k pre-orders in 24 hours.

Any guesses on the number of R2 preorders: In 24 hours? In 7 days? In 30 days?

Glad they're looking to start producing R2 in Normal instead of GA, but curious why still mid-2026, even after the "pull-in"? Hopefully this will at least help them conserve some cash though. Any thoughts?

That stage looks quite small. I assume the R2 won't be driven on to the stage for the reveal, which is usually how these reveals are done, right?

With this teaser and the grainy spy rooftop shots, is it safe to assume that the glass roof is flat over the seats but then curves over the trunk area, with the spoiler on top? If so, is there precedence for such a roof design on an SUV?

Couldn't agree more that R2 needs to be here yesterday! I'm just restating what Rivian themselves has officially stated multiple times, which also seems to be confirmed in this latest "leak". Dates like this tend to slip out, not pulled in.

This leak explicitly said "Coming 2026", so I wouldn't hold my breath.

Would there still be a rear wiper though? How does that work on the 4Runner?

"Rear accessory port" and tool-less bike mount sounds promising.

Those rear accessory ports and tool-less bike mounts sound intriguing. Curious if that system would be exclusive to R2, or somehow be added to future R1. Excited to see these specs for sure. The only bad part about these specs is "Coming 2026". Hopefully they don't have to pull another "March...
