Thanks for the feedback. I know choosing "launch edition" mattered, but I wondered if the configuration also factored into timing of invitation. Still waiting........
Do you think they really will contact everyone on the reservation list by the and of June????
I have saved a configuraion for the R2 in my account. How important is this in determining when Rivian reaches out to me to place an order? Am I "stuck" with this configuration or can I change it, and will this affect my order date?
I find myself in need of a car to tide me over until my number comes up in the queue for the R2. I'm thinking of buying a used R1S. I would trade in the R1S for the R2 when the time comes. I will wait to hear about my place in the queue in June before acting. But, if I can't place an order for a...
I was at the Denver event and my impression is that photos don't do justice to the interior. In person, the interior is quite attractive, especially with the stitching, which hardly comes through in photos. A beauty of a machine inside and out.
Agree completely. The employee who gave me the $3k quote was clear there were other components included in the package, but wasn't clear whether one had to buy the package or could just opt for the tires separately. Let's see.
He, too, was absolutely sold on the 20" ATs.
A representative at the Denver unveiling of the R2 told me the 20" AT was an option for $3k extra. He mentioned undercoating as well, and so maybe the $3k was for the 20" tires and other improvements as well. He was not clear on this.
If Palo Alto is anything like Denver, you will need to prioritize the measurements you want, otherwise your time to sit in the car will be over before you get halfway through the measurements list. It was a great time. Good vibes, as you can imagine.
Ok, I had.my marching orders and was ready to comply. The place was packed. Half hour or more wait to get up close to the car. Once there, time clock started.
What I can report is that there is plenty of room in the back for my border collie, no problem stepping into the car, I am 6.4 and didnt...
Yes, joking. I thought about a (-: at the end, but then thought it was probably unnecessary.
I am in Denver to see the R2 up front and personal. If anyone has questions I can get answers to tomorrow and post on the Forum, let me know. A payback, of sorts, for causing all this fuss.
Lesson learned. Sorry if my post made anyone as worried as me about missing out. I knew the Forum discussants would have the answer, just didn't know they'd be so hard on me and AI.
My post on the Forum WAS for independent verification. But, can I trust the responses? Perhaps everyone here desperately wants an R2 LE as well, and so aren't being truthful with me. Competition, eh?
Nope, not that gullible. But, I'm keenly interested in the R2 (leaving for Denver today to see it in person), and don't want anything, including failing to plunk down an additional $100, to interfere with me getting it.
I forget, now, the simple Google search that I typed in, but in the AI answer was a vague statement like "there are several sources that suggest if you are interested in the Launch Edition, you need to indicate this in the Rivian email and put down an additional $100 to secure this choice."
I...
There is some skuttlebutt out there that those of us sent an email asking if we wanted the Launch Edition were also asked to plunk down an additional $100 to reserve this choice.
I was sent the email asking if I was interested in the Launch Edition, to which I replied "yes," but did not notice...
Thanks, folks. Just checking.
A previous thread I posted asked what I would do if my 2013 Subaru Outback bit the dust before my name comes up in the R2 queue. It has 150k miles on it. Well, the thing did not break down, it was totalled yesterday in a collision, not my fault. Now what?
Yeah, figured as much. AutoHQ allows one to search for mats for the R2 on their website, but probably best to confirm the match with the true dimensions before purchasing. Nothing yet on the back seat
I am interested in purchasing (1) a rear floor mat and (2) a cover for the rear seats, which starts from where the floor mat leaves off in the rear and continues over the back of the rear seats and then has slots for the rear head rests and then finally covers the seats themselves of the rear...
