I bought a Kia EV9 and then my R1S. I'm an actual paying customer who considered a three row SUV not too long ago. I'm not just another "commentator on the internet", I'm the actual person that would consider this product (BEV 3 row SUV) if it were compelling. I'm also not saying an EV should be...
They seem to be right on track with what they outlined for the R2 release. I don't know why people keep thinking delays are coming and we won't see more models until 2027. The Launch Edition can only be Launch for so long. Where did you "see" a tri won't be available until 2027?
Fall for the R2...
Can someone tell me, from an engineering and cost perspective, how in the world do electronic doors save so much more money than a traditional one? Specially when a backup is needed?
Like I would love to see a dollar figure. A few hundred dollars per vehicle? Just throw it to the price of the...
Blue with the white interior and the new black headliner. I think it looks very sharp in the performance trim with the sport seats. Very comfortable too!
I want to believe this a serious attempt from Toyota, but man, this is bland, even for them. I hate the whole EVs are "soulless appliances" argument, but this feels like that argument personified. They can't expect people to walk into a dealership and ask about it and then tell them with a...
Hoping it does. And it should. Bigger frunk and boxier shape means more storage than the Y. If Rivian is able to fine tune their audio, software, ride and price on the R2, based on my experience with the MYP, they have a home run on their hands. The R2 Tri with estimated 850 HP should obliterate...
I strongly disagree. I am with you on the assist to certain communities, but the value add to most people as well is hard to ignore. I actually like the current set up of still being able to drive but also being able to use FSD/UHF for more boring driving task like rush hour traffic and long...
Have to address one thing first. FSD is not a gimmick or a party trick, at least in its latest iteration. If Rivian gets where Tesla is, it is a genuinely useful feature on the day to day commuting and could make a huge difference. Didn't realize how much energy driving takes from me daily...
Sounds like the LE Dual Motor is 656 HP and 3.6s or faster 0-60. So is the Tri going to be 850 HP and 3s or faster 0-60? That sounds insane. I love it. Now I'm excited to see what they will come up with for the R2 Tri.
Yeah, any other company, sure. Where Rivian is positioning themselves? I'd eat my words, but no chance in hell.
They have not confirmed, but RJ has strongly hinted that most (if not all) would get at least 300 miles of range. Tesla has also claimed recently that they are not going to release...
Hello Rivian Fam,
This will be kind of a long post, but wanted to share for those who can't wait for an R2 and want to consider something else (please avoid any crossover vs. SUV discussions here, this post ain't for you if you think the Model Y and R2 have nothing to do with each other).
So I...
If the R1S Tri is anything to go by, then it would also come close to fully loaded and have a nicer interior. These to me, specially if "downgrading" from an R1S, are enough to make me wait for the Tri - along with said power, of course.
As for the Model Y, we just got a new MY Performance. Oh...
As much as I love my Rivian, it will likely get replaced for its mediocre charging speeds and meh range (for the Gen 1 Quad, at least). Those are two biggest issues currently with the R1 lines. As others have mentioned, a longer wheelbase (just have it match the R1T) would go a long way, as...
Why makes you speculate this though? Genuinely asking, because you are not alone and the rumor seems to be spreading. A lot of people continue to speculate that the R2 is being delayed and it will be limited production in 2026 when everything Rivian and RJ have said has not pointed to that. With...
The Scout is closer to R1 in size than the R2. It would likely also slot pricewise between the R2 and R1. I actually think they did a good at not having it be a direct competitor to the R1 or R2. You want 3 rows of seating? R1. You don't care for a third row and want something big? Traveler. You...
I'm not worried. How often must we bring up Rivian and EVs closing shop? I haven't been around since the early Tesla days, but man, this must be exhausting for those who have been in the game for a while.
EVs have proof of concept. They aren't going anywhere. Rivian is not going to call it a...
Ford really needs to stop promising on stuff it can't deliver on. They are so beyond the boy who cried wolf. For all the grief we give Tesla for overpromising and underdelivering, Ford might have a worse record for that at this point IMO
I bought mine used. They are now dropping to high 50s or even high 40s for the R1T. Still expensive, sure, but doable. And to help with that, a lot of them still have a few years under the warranty. I am not rich by any means, but had equity on my last car and saved up for a while to get my R1S...
I don't get why people keep bringing this up. Rivian never came with Carplay and they never said Carplay was coming. I get it, people want choice, but why buy something that states it doesnt have something and doesnt plan on having said thing and then continue to complain about it? This is the...
