  1. R2 In The Wild

    Those look more like the test mules.. although could be production or employee models just with high contrast wraps.
  2. R2 Highway Range at 70MPH = ~250 Miles (Modeled)

    This is one of the things that has always confused and confounded me. IT SEEMS logically, as speed increases, energy to maintain or increase speed should increase measurably (if not truly EXPONENTIALLY), but that has never been my actual experience. I go back to the days living in Germany...
  3. R2 customer production started today! R2 configurator / ordering starts June

    That’s a pretty wide range, but assuming 50, and a quality 250 per week is exactly where I would put them at this phase of initial production. My estimate for Q3 would be closer to 500 per week and by end of Q4 closer to 750-1000 per week. That’s the quality scaling they need to be able to do...
  4. R2 Highway Range at 70MPH = ~250 Miles (Modeled)

    You should’ve just left out the line about Claude and Gemini and posted this and people would’ve thought you were aerospace engineer or PhD in spatial and fluid dynamics! :) Question though. Isn’t there an additional element in the R2 from an engineering standpoint where it either switches off...
  5. R2 Highway Range at 70MPH = ~250 Miles (Modeled)

    The only caveat counter to this statement is it needs to be at SOC that are less than about 75%. Someone did the math with Tesla‘s many years ago and as long as SOC is less than 75% then the absolute statement “it’s always faster to drive faster and stop more frequently“ sort of holds up. I...
  6. Chicago Block Party Photos - Half Moon Grey R2

    Nice shots! Thanks lucky bum. what I really wanna see is someone set the front seat who’s at least 6’2” and then get in the backseat and show me that great sitting on the rear bench behind the driver shot and how much clearance there is between the cap and back of the front seat divot. If I...
  7. Chicago Block Party Photos - Half Moon Grey R2

    4/25/26 2Well this was pretty BEAT1.. even though ppl had signed up, the door were closed and they finally came out about 16:00 CDT and told ppl they weren’t letting anyone else in, come back maybe in 3 hours.. whatever.. there were only about 12 ppl Inside in a line probably to get a quick sit...
  8. Chicago Block Party Photos - Half Moon Grey R2

    Will be a bummer if there is really just ONE car, grey, etc. really wanted to try and see Borealis or Catalina Cove in person - which means only my SO can go, but oh well.
  9. R2 customer production started today! R2 configurator / ordering starts June

    Does that mean you would put all real estate agents, private business owners, travelling sale people, any 1099 employee who commutes and doesn’t have a defined place of work, any UBER driver or ride share driver, delivery driver, etc who is a 1099 comped worker? Or just private business owner...
  10. R2 customer production started today! R2 configurator / ordering starts June

    Most influences are going to be REAL customers, who are influencers.. the company delivered either press or testing cars most likely won’t just be company production vehicles.. there will be a few for sure, but not many.
  11. R2 customer production started today! R2 configurator / ordering starts June

    i’m gonna look sooo good driving that car! The lights, the color, the stance! The CAR is the real outfit. ;-)
  12. R2 customer production started today! R2 configurator / ordering starts June

    At 6’5”, I have literally NEVER been there, and I doubt RJ has either.. it’s a fashion trend, one that needs to move on.. ;-)
  13. R2 customer production started today! R2 configurator / ordering starts June

    Does this fix it for you, or should I put the actual S on his chest?
  14. R2 customer production started today! R2 configurator / ordering starts June

    Probably just to keep excited employees from hooning.. Let’s hope Quality is Job One!.
  15. Launch Green R2 exterior & interior - latest pictures (block party & public sightings)

    It looks good, even if this original color was technically called OLIVE DRAB
  16. Would you go with 20" wheels or 21" wheels on Launch Edition R2?

    I would go 20” for more choices, but should a similar wheel in a 20” vs. a 21” and similar AS tires, get BETTER mileage? Less weight, less unsprung weight, etc. slightly higher profile, means less surface friction.
  17. Are you a Tesla owner getting the R2 as first Rivian? ⛔️ [ADMIN WARNING: NO POLITICS / NO ELON DISCUSSIONS] ⛔️

    Cybertruck was to be a ”250k–500K” per year vehicle, per EM.. it’s literally 1/10th of that AT BEST and that includes in company sales to EM owned entities.. it’s an abject failure from a sales, revenue, margin and company visibility standpoint. the stock would go UP if they simply admitted...
  18. R2 cargo area underfloor storage compartment size = large enough to fit small body

    Yes, they certainly do! (There is another thread somewhere where I’ve made the exact point about need for ventilation)… but, that doesn’t stop ppl from using the space for that purpose AND possibly leaving the top open and using the top of a fridge as the “floor” for other items that could still...
  19. R2 cargo area underfloor storage compartment size = large enough to fit small body

    It looks perfectly engineered to hold a plug in cooler/fridge.
  20. R2 vs Ioniq 5, Model 3, ID.4 -- comparison photos

    I think the objective - met - was to compare it to recognizable high volume EV’s.. M3 was the highest volume EV before the Y came out, and Ionic 5 as well. That R1S looks like a Ford EXCURSION compared to either of them though. Biggie mo’ mo’
