I get it, have had that.. once back in the 90’s (so totally PRE any type of onboard GPS mapping with traffic date or routing-re-routing let alone WAZE type of info) I left Laguna Beach at 14:30 on a Wednesday heading to OR. By the time we got to Burbank (~ 60 miles) on the 405/5, it was 19:30...

Just A note, and it seems like you’ve possibly thought of this, but these things produce a LOT of heat. It’s not really a fire risk, but the best operating environment for these types of units want them to have ventilation to preserve function and lifespan. They can shut off or fail if they...

It’s interesting you got more REGEN northbound vs. southbound. Southbound I usually have the opposite (in a T LR M3) since going UP the grapevine takes a lot but it’s a pretty long slow burn coming down, vs. the mostly one time big drop northbound coming down to the grapevine.. Maybe with the...

Yes, it’s very true.. in my 8 year old LR m3, on highway I AVERAGE 73-75, which means many spots on highway for duration of 5-10 minutes of 80-82, and some very limited amounts of 63-65..but averaging 73-75.. and my watt/mile is ~ 235w/mile.. so more than 4.2 miles per kw. BUT when I avg 65, so...

It’s just odd that none of the photos ppl have posted are the inside.

I wonder if they don't allow photos of the INSIDE of the car at these Meet Cutes.

I would imagine yes, to test it out completely for ease of use, description accuracy, UX/UI features etc.. I figure we'll probably see images of THAT set of details before any pricing or options inclusion details might arise.

Something about this jet black R1T, and the bed extender makes me think this is for it one wants to turn their Rivian into a rural herse?

My guesstimate is that is ~ 3.5-4 weeks of their early production run. We think we know when they started, so we should be able to work backwards and then forwards… to?

Some connected YouTubers have reported that all colors are free to select, EXCEPT launch green.. has anyone else heard this?

Looks like 2K wasn’t far off.. (1600 employee units to be delivered first - or already, somewhat unconfirmed). https://www.rivianforums.com/forum/threads/employees-receiving-r2-first-does-this-forum-have-any-rivian-employees-will-can-they-answer-questions.57296/post-977424

Nearly nobody was able to do A test drive of a Tesla M3 when they came out and they managed to fly off the shelves into the welcome and eager hands of buyers.. later about 3-4 months in in some parts of the country via Turo and some other outlets ppl could test drive them as a rental for a day...

There are probably more Rivian registered in the SF Bay Area than anywhere in the country, probably by a factor of 2.. I guess they don’t feel the need to do any marketing or outreach, they just assume buyers will convert sight unseen.

I take it their focus groups and surveys yielded that NOBODY knew what the HECK LA Silver was?

Agree, somewhat.. but we think/know they have already built >200 pre-production test units, for internal testing and industry/influencer/PR testing and shows.. they have probably actually already built another 2-3K at this point (I wonder if someone has a drone fly over of the factory in IN) and...

It doesn’t seem like we have much in the way to clearly tangible updates, other than the company reporting that they see 2026 sales INCREASING by 25,000 units, most likely mostly R2 devilries.. which would indicate essentially 1000/week once they start delivering probably end of Q2’26. Now...

You don’t think having a CCS to NACS adaptor in use does anything to reduce the overall maximum throughput, negotiated or metallurgically possible vs. a straight single point of communication and connection?

I would think/hope that a true NACS connector would be able to provide even slighthy higher peak rates, even just another 5%, and possibly overall avg charging.. that curve though of your session looks pretty good though, not a huge drop off. I’m hoping that the BMS and charging system in the R2...

Pre-conditioning or not, what is the BEST charging rate that these Rivian can achieve with a NACS plug at a Tesla Supercharger? Is it 200, 210 250? At the peak of the curve?

We have seen the lows for gasoline for probably this year and well into next.. IMHO
