This is why I'd asked the OP what VIN series he'v vehicle is. It is still under 1,000 so Rivian has. clearly have not made a significant amount of R2. The production numbers today probably is higher than 1K so they are building them quickly. I'm sure Rivian is shipping out every vehicle...

Congrats, that was you hanging over the balcony ??? :D What is your VIN range? Is it in the thousands yet? Neema will do a great job on the PPF and the ceramic coat, he did my Artura last September.

I realize this is an old thread and the OP probably has already bought whatever choice tire. It is my understanding that this tire is what R2 comes with but in R1's 22" size. https://www.bfgoodrichtires.com/auto/browse-tires/by-dimension/275/50/22/116/H

Just took a road trip to OR, and got a chip in OR. Got home and had the chip fixed for $99. It's not perfect but it's also not $2K either.

This sounds good on the surface but need to really look at what that means in the context of your after tax implications. I have done exactly as what you've suggested but with 0% interest auto loan. No brainer on this one. With higher auto loan rate or money factor, the investment side need...

And that the battery technology is on the cusp of huge energy density change. There are at least two solid state battery companies scaling up for high volume production (QuantumScape - backed by VWG, and Factorial - backed by MB). Chinese CATL is pretty much there. If I were interested in R2...

Here is another comprehensive review from Autopian https://www.theautopian.com/the-longest-and-most-thorough-review-of-the-rivian-r2-you-will-ever-read/

Oh, so that's what it looks like when clear. Nice. The weather was not great but my wife had never been in a sleet. She didn't know what sleet was. She's born and raised in SoCal...

Thanks for the info. The L2 charging was all free. Stayed at Home2 Suites (Hilton) and they had 4 L2 Tesla Universal chargers at Woodland, and one each of NACS and J1772 at Bend Home2 Suites. If you've never stayed at one of these, its all simple, clean and a nice place to sleep with breakfast...

R2 is a good choice. Only vehicle is a no. Any new vehicle, first of its kind, is almost certain to have multiple issues. If you are buying the R2 in mid to late 2027, it probably would be okay, but not an early build. At least, keep the Outback for awhile and see how It goes.

For those with money to turn but never owned a Ferrari, Luce would be the price of entry for real Ferrari allocation slot. Just about 99.9% of exotic owners currently do not want hybridized ICE, let alone BEV.

The intro video for Luce reminded me of intro video for Mac Book Pro. I think the best reaction so far from the auto industry is: "Luca Cordero di Montezemolo gave a harsh verdict: “If I were to say what I really think, it would be unpleasant, so I prefer not to comment. I just hope someone...

Own R1S and have been in R2, I would say that this statement is accurate. Two things - R1 is not Tier 1 luxury vehicle and R2 has much less content and size than R1, especially mechanically. .

Range and efficiency are not the only reason to have different tires. You are right in that these days, auto mfg works closely with the tire companies to develop optimized tire for the particular vehicle. Everything from slightly different compounds, tread pattern and rolling resistance...

Just to clarify, its not the added weight; rather, its the increase in the rotational inertia. Carrying more weight in the cabin (passengers) will not affect the range the same as adding unsprung rotating weight. It will affect the range a very small percentage - nothing like what you would...

Just so you know, in case this is your first EV, any new tires will drop the range by 5~15% compared to the worn tire you replaced. Since the 119 load index tires are significantly heavier than the 116 Pirellie when new, it would have a larger impact on the range due to larger rotational...

Ohhh I can see it now. McRivian Value Meal R2 Deal. Or is it "Super Size it"? What will Rivian Happy Meal be???

As discussed in another thread, the last earnings call was horrible. The chart below is the daily price action since the 4/30 to today. They announced after the market close so the reaction is seen on the 5/1. The primary reason for steady decline in the price has to do with both VW ($1B)...

Little sanity check. R1S Quad: 0-60 2.6 sec 374 miles range $121,990 starting price Your R2 Quad: 0-60 2.5 sec 400 miles range $70,000~75,000 starting price Why would Rivian shoot themselves in the foot? If R2 did that, there is no need for R1S Quad. Pay $50k more and go less and...
