I mean, yeah, it's beautiful. I love it.
Added cross bars too to make it look more adventure(y)? Close up on that too. They are pulling out all the stops with this photoshoot. Hot.
Seems to be a common issue that I hope is just limited to those early builds. Having seen them in person a few times now, gloveboxes staying open, the back of the seats coming apart and calibration issues with the frunk and rear glass button seem to be a reoccurring problem.
I'd assume Rivian...
This poor guy just wanted to know about the real world range of the R2 and now we have literally talked about everything but 😂
Edit: I do love this forum though. I appreciate how this community keeps things (mostly) civil while still having some fun.
I was responding to this portion of your original post:
"Gas is objectively easier for most people and there's nothing wrong with that."
But agreed, we are allowed to disagree and nothing wrong with that.
Came to say this. I don't know about ICE being objectively easier but it certainly seems like it because it has been what a lot of us grew up with.
For example - think about the new generation of kids turning 16 now and driving. Is explaining how to drive EV harder than ICE?
With gas, you...
Ah, gotcha. Didn't know know about the delivery date not being very flexible. That I don't know for certain. Kind of shocking they can make us wait an arbitrary amount for a vehicle but god forbid they hold it for a few days. Then in that case, I don't know. Sorry.
Just order it. My two cents is to never take a brand new vehicle (specially brand new model year) on a road trip. Any problems, specially with EVs, will show up early and a road trip is not a good time to find out about those. Order it now and they may have it upon your return and you would be...
I'd be robbed blind if Rivian wanted to offer a Red Canyon for the R2 even at a $5k premium. It's...it's beautiful. You hear that Rivian! Take my money!
Selling point - does she know about dog mode? You said she likes to take the dog everywhere.
I was once someone not very interested in EVs but my first hearing of dog mode was one of the things that made me reconsider my opinion. We love our dog and take him everywhere. Dog mode wasn't a...
Not a silver guy at all but with the black AT rims, this is a winner. That'd be my spec with the esker silver. Was thinking it was a bad call to swap for the LA Silver but I will eat my words again.
Long time Audi fan, but never owned one (but been close). The S5 and SQ7 were on my radar. Their current design language is frustratingly bland. I looked at the SQ6 and while not offensive on the exterior, the interior felt rather sterile. Range is also so-so.
The new Q9 seems to be heading...
It's not excessive but also fits in to what I said. My bladder only last 2-3 hours, 210 miles 10-80% going 75mph is around 2.5-3 hours. Hasn't been an issue for me but I fully understand it is different for other people.
A younger me would laugh at stopping every 3 hours. At my current age, I...
Hoping for that "Timeline to order" by end of June information to come. Sounds like it will be a make it or break it for a lot of people.
Unfortunately though, even if my my number is called much later, I have no idea what other vehicle I would purchase at the moment. Nothing else really...
I used to do it and just crank out 4-6 hours nonstop of driving. Once I hit 30, my bladder only allows 2-3 hours best case scenario.
I'm sure people out there prefer the stop and go method, but stopping every few hours and using the restrooms and stretching your legs has been a nonissue for me...
I've never driven a car and thought "hmm less power would be fine." But that is just me and from the looks of it, many others. It is not just the 0-60, but passing speed, highway merging, getting out of a bad situation, etc.
This thread will likely flame on for the Tesla purchase, but honestly, that is not a bad idea to wait until the R2 is more sorted out and better incentives are available. The M3P is an outstanding vehicle for the price and the tech is stable with pretty ironed out reliability and Tesla has...
On a quote, I'm trading in a 2018 BMW and rates are only going up about $50 per month. Not bad honestly. Your rates may differ but definitely shop around. The whole "EVs are more expensive to insure" is mostly a myth and like everything else, varies from carrier to carrier and vehicle to vehicle.
Yeah I basically got it narrowed down to the "colors". I figured it's the performance trim, might as well get a fun color! I thought I was going black crater but after seeing it in person, I'm leaning coastal cloud. The contrast makes a huge difference in making it feel more premium.
