It is a comparison you can make, but not as meaningful to most as you'd think. The R2 is being marketed more as a Model Y alternative than the electric 4runner. The reason - Rivian is full on the EV and software, like Tesla, and off-road prowess second. So you can compare it to the...

It is a service center that they do deliveries in. I also drove by the showroom and they had one for demo drives and one inside the showroom. Was trying to see a Cataline Cove in person but no luck. Doesn't sound like may have shipped this way (yet).

Just drove to the service center near me and no R2s to be seen. No GA orders yet either. They put their second HQ here and are building a plant here. What gives, Rivian? At least I don't feel bad that I haven't received my email yet lol

I may actually test drive it. The range is a abysmal but I'd kill for a convertible-esque EV. This and the Hummer EV are the only real contenders. Had this had some semblance of range, it might have swayed me. If they fire sale these for $20k off in a few months, I might bite.

I can't tell if you're trolling. Have you been in a CRV or Rav4 lately? Which can go up to the $40k range mind you and I doubt fit anyone's description of nice. Heck, compare it to a base Land Cruiser - the R2 is certainly better built and higher quality inside at the same price. Add tech and...

Shout out to the Mercedes ones, for real. I'd used them twice and they have been excellent. Huge fan! But yeah I've had enough headaches with EA and EVGO to just forego them altogether. If the powers that be wanted to slow EV adoption, they should advertise for those companies. People would go...

Please do not get my hopes up.

Guys, it was me. I broke it. My 8,000th refresh of the day probably did a number on it. My apologies.

The headliner here is range, not necessarily "another EV" SUV. Not many options of EVs with potentially 500 miles of range. That is noteworthy.

They have said a few times (I believe in social media) that Launch Green, as the name implies, is a limited time color. I believe Rivian Green is what Pantone developed as their own paint, not what Rivian will call launch green moving forward (my understanding, could be wrong). No indication...

The 21s look like monster truck wheels in this picture lol

While no one knowns for certain and Rivian (from what I have seen) has not confirmed, it is a reasonable guess that if you place your order now and they let you select those option, that it will be a launch edition. This is a fair assumption based on their marketing and wording around what you...

While the hype surrounds the EREV, I do think this was a mistake and in huge part to the last part of your statement. They cannot and really should not tie in anything around the VW network. They are trying to be direct sales, which is tough as is and getting pushback at every turn from the...

The lag is probably compared to the Tesla. Teslas feel quicker than other EVs IMO because the mapping is linear and you press, you go. Rivian definitely built in a buffer, specially on the R1 vehicles, so it takes more of a kick to get it go full sprint. I didn't notice it as bad on the R2, but...

For me, several things. I really like the styling. It is similar to Rivian but slightly more aggressive. Physical door handles. I am not a "GIVE ME BUTTONS" guy but physical door handles are one of those things that I don't know why we have complicated into oblivion. I have 0 interest in the...

If they price it well, could be a homerun.

It's not going to be my long term car, so I'm okay with getting my second or third option. This is going to be my daily until the Scout, next Gen R1 or R2X/R3X come along. If I were planning to keep it for several years, then 100% would wait on the Borealis. Or if they had Red Canyon, in which...

Why not wait? These will likely go down and will probably look better on the premium. However, I would not expect anything with a semblance of a deal for the R2 for at least another year (or two).

Currently, yes, the R2 is almost strictly better. If you don't need a third row, I'd say R2 all day. However, nothing a refresh can't fix on the R1. I personally think the R1 is the more good looking vehicle and love the higher end feeling of the tri and quad models. I hope they can keep the...

So funny enough I dislike it on the R1 but really dig it on the R2. It being darker is kind of a plus to me and contrasts well with coastal cloud interior. I would honestly rank midnight higher if black cars ever found a way to not look dirty. Borealis is a happy medium for me.
