  1. Thoughts from people who have seen the R2 in person.

    Yeah my plan is to hold for one MY and hope for more colors - including Red Canyon. But need to see it live before committing, etc.
  2. Thoughts from people who have seen the R2 in person.

    Folks, I find the postings that combine the good stuff w/ some candid critique to be the most helpful. And that includes baseless, totally uninformed speculation about what could come later - e.g. different paint colors, plausibility of suspension lift - based on R1 experience or Rivian's past...
  3. Thoughts from people who have seen the R2 in person.

    Not surprising - compare XC60 to XC90 and I think you’d feel the same way.
  4. Borealis and Forest Green not available at R2 launch

    Just for baseless speculation - thoughts on whether MY28 might bring different colors as soon as 2nd production year? Did that happen for R1? Default choice is Glacier White but have time to wait - would like to see Red Canyon, Compass Yellow, and/or California Dune just based on R1s I've...
  5. R2 tires on Tire Rack 255/65/19, 255/60/20, 255/55-21

    Looks like someone ratted-out TR for a premature spill? "On-Road All-Terrain tires -may be- branded with the M+S and three-peak mountain snowflake (3PMSF) symbols are sometimes used as Original Equipment (O.E.)" This gets curiouser and curiouser... "The Streisand effect is a phenomenon where...
  6. Updated 20" BFG T-T T/A tire - now "T/A+" 3PMSF?

    A dedicated tire can get double-secret/weird/mysterious at launch. And probably $$$ to replace like-for-like. I've poked around TR a bit, 60/55/R20 is really hard to find w/ 3PMSF, perhaps due to dimension ratios?
  7. Updated 20" BFG T-T T/A tire - now "T/A+" 3PMSF?

    Yep. Wild guess is this is some kind of (chemical?) modification to the baseline T/A tire in order to get 3PMSF in the R2 size as T/A+.
  8. Updated 20" BFG T-T T/A tire - now "T/A+" 3PMSF?

    TIre Rack is presenting 'T/A' and 'T/A+' as distinct offers, latter is tied to Rivian. "Trail-Terrain T/A+ is severe snow rated and carries the three-peak mountain snowflake (3PMSF) symbol."
  9. Updated 20" BFG T-T T/A tire - now "T/A+" 3PMSF?

    There's been a very strange exception floating out there re: BFG T-T T/A ATs: the 20" size specifically for R2 has seemingly lacked 3PMSF AW tag but all other sizes have it. Is this really the case? Seems weird + stupid. That said, I'm now seeing BFG T-T ā€˜T/A+’ on Tire Rack, so maybe R2 size...
  10. Chicago Block Party a Total Cluster, But R2 Was Beautiful

    Perhaps Rivian needs to redirect some engineers towards career broadening? "Queueing theory is the mathematical study of waiting lines (queues), analyzing processes such as customer arrivals, service times, and the number of servers to optimize system performance and reduce waiting times. It...
  11. Chicago Block Party Photos - Half Moon Grey R2

    This is a GREAT recap, thank you.
  12. Estimated time to order R2 - what's your estimated date?

    Whoops, meant MY28 in summer 2027. Fixed. My need comes ~Aug-Sep 2027, so planning to wait for invite to order MY28.
  13. Estimated time to order R2 - what's your estimated date?

    So figure Gen3 as MY27.5 around year-end? MY28 flip likely in summer 2027, at least based on recent MY changeovers?
  14. Chicago Block Party Photos - Half Moon Grey R2

    Can you elaborate any further re: fit in front? Head vs. sunroof framing, shoulder & elbow vs. B-pillar, knees vs. dashboard, and hip point vs. other SUVs you’ve experienced?
  15. R1 and R2 crossbars not compatible (don't fit) - now officially confirmed by Rivian

    Oddly, I don’t like the top hat look on the Rivian crossbars, much prefer the streamlined look like this - but can you get decent quality on Amazon?
  16. Would you go with 20" wheels or 21" wheels on Launch Edition R2?

    I'll be watching to see if R2's BFG size really doesn't get 3PMSF tag - seems like a very strange exception for the T-T T/A lineup - If not, I have no interest in these tires and their noted efficiency sacrifices - would rather have the Pirelli AS on those nifty 20" AT wheels. Anyone...
  17. Would you go with 20" wheels or 21" wheels on Launch Edition R2?

    Agree with this - even if it means getting stuck w/ non-3PMSF (AW) BFG 20" ATs - one set and done. I'd prefer the factory install the Pirelli 20" AS on the Performance AT rims instead, if not anything AW. We'll see.
  18. Would you go with 20" wheels or 21" wheels on Launch Edition R2?

    If it turns out the 20ā€ BFG ATs aren’t 3PMSF then I really don’t want them at all. Perhaps factory would put 20ā€ Pirelli AS on Performance 20ā€ wheels instead?
  19. Would you go with 20" wheels or 21" wheels on Launch Edition R2?

    R1 gets AT 20" wheels/tires, spare, underbody shield, and couple drive modes for $3,700. Curious to see what R2 AT turns out to be.
