I haven't heard of someone pulling into someone else's driveway to charge their EV, basically risking theft and getting messed up to steal $20 of juice over several hours. Are you in a condo complex where the garage is far away from your unit and completely out of sight? Lots of suggestions have...

I share your disappointment in that the majority of reviewers use the MY as their baseline comparison vehicle, but I do understand their choice. The challenge for any reviewer is that there is no equal to the R2; maybe the scout will be closer if it ever releases. For reviewers, you first need...

The R2 is easily the most anticipated EV release of 2026, and it's unreasonable to expect Rivian to offer best-in-class financing deals. If finances are driving your decision, why would you lease anything? If your main goal is to save money, purchase a lightly used Tesla; there are lots of deep...

I agree with your overall assumption that the R2 is a better financial choice and better value Rivian for a lot of us, but respectfully, it is not a better vehicle than the R1! Some of your points are not yet verified by anyone, nor could they be verified, and some are clearly false as any R1...

There's already a poll created on this question, but I say Launch Green every day, even on Sundays. All we need is Forest Green interiors to make it perfect. https://www.rivianforums.com/forum/threads/which-r2-color-will-you-choose.57376/

I doubt that the alignment or lane tracking has anything to do with Gen1 vs. Gen2; it seems to vary by vehicle for both Gens. Some users have reported that repeated alignments didn't resolve their concerns, while others, like me, get perfect tracking over the life of their Gen1. It has been...

Thanks for sharing the photos; it's great to see what's inside that cavity. I could see an opportunity for either a split back panel, hinged above the Rivian logo, or a grooved vertical track to slide the top part down like a sleuth gate. While you could use some nice stained plywood, getting a...

I agree with @electruck. Based on reporting from a year or so ago, they had to take down some R1 production lines to make room for the new R2 production line, and that should trigger some R1 production impacts. They were probably planning for less R1 production anyway, as the R2 takes potential...

Reading that you can live with is pointing down while you stare straight up, I'd recommend a Starlink mini mount, one that only holds it by the edges only, not the full box frame. They are available from many vendors of varying quality. I own one for my Starlink; it is very secure with four...

Powered close is definitely a cool feature, especially when we can operate it remotely, BUT maybe you've been a bit spoiled driving one a premium vehicle? You're not the first R1 owner who's disappointed by some compromise the R2 made. My interpretation of what Rivian was trying to accomplish...

Easy, the rear drop glass. As a dog owner in an R1T, that would let me regain my rear seats while giving the opportunity to "fly" while we drive and generally give joy to those behind us:clap:

I don't see an issue on the charging side of the equation with any 300mi range EV if you have L2 charging at home. R2 is supposed to get NCMA batteries. Follow the charging recommendations for that chemistry, setting the charger to 70% (maybe 80% if you need it) for daily charging. Then most...

Well said; I don't care about status or luxury; I appreciate that I have a truck that can quietly take me safely through a blizzard, or up a rugged road to the top of a mountain, run my kitchen while I camp, get better every month with OTA updates, and just being awesome at so many things from...

Agreed that Forest + Launch is the best combo in Rivians history.

Can you trigger it by changing the direction of torque, for example, when you first back up, then change to move forward, or after rolling off from a stop at a light? It could be several things, but that "ting" sounds a lot like the sound when my halfshaft washers became loose and required...

In general, my philosophy on insurance for anything is that if you can afford to take the hit, don't buy it. I do have home insurance, but not much else. If insurance policies actually saved you money, as some are suggesting they might, insurance policies overall would lose money, and they...

Woohoo! Green on green is arguably the best color combo Rivian has ever released; I think Rivian could have really supercharged LE R2 orders with launch green and forest green combo, both matching that LE key FOB. Fingers crossed for Forest edge coming back long term for more models and not...

I'm not sure what the "Rivian dealership" is, but I assume you mean the online store for used inventory and picked up in FL sales space. There are some known issues with the Gen 1 that are well documented on this forum, like the 12VB batteries and halfshaft washers, to name a few. I did my...

Respectfully, your expectations for the R2 and Rivian's goal may be unrealistic. Rivian has never said they built the R2 to move R1 drivers into it; they built it to compete with the Model Y and others looking for an everyday affordable "mass-market" EV, ideally many R2 buyers will be first time...

Good eye; 111mi at 27% seems to support that you're correct
