I second @Danfoss' concerns: both the thermoelectric cooler and the refrigeration-cycle cooler need to reject heat, and the frunk may be too small in volume and too well-insulated. It should work inside the cabin; the truck bed is probably a better spot for it if you really want that feature...

I'm still on my scorpions but have been researching a similar choice for range benefits. ignoring brands, I'd recommend that you switch from ATs to dedicated snow/all season tires, that change alone should get you range and lower noise from most brands with the removal of those side nubs/treads...

Respectfully, I'm not trying to offend anyone; I said you could build it, but there are big compromises, and I stand by that. There's a lot more engineering that needs to go into adding both a V6 ICE and a 92kW-hr battery pack. Yes, there's a website with specs listed today, but there was a page...

I don't disagree; the Volt was technically an EREV, but in my experience, the lines between EREV and PHEV are sometimes blurred/grey. My comments were specifically to the large SUV/Truck sector that was the subject of the original post, and I was aware of the now-discontinued Volt when I shared...

While the date on this cited article is only a few days old, this news on the delay was released months ago; here's a post on this same forum, but lots of YouTubers have shared info. It was sad news for me because Scout was making the only other truck that I was excited about...

I see a lot of mixed advice given. This does appear to be a low-risk issue, and I'd personally weigh the risk against how great the deal is. That does appear to be I see a lot of mixed advice given. This does appear to be a low-risk issue, and I'd personally weigh the risk against how great the...

@mkhuffman I tend to agree with you, but admit there will be a few with usage patterns who would benefit more from faster charging rates, like @VandalSibs. I'm one who places greater weight on capacity. I guess it comes down to the amount of home charging, the distance between DCFC stations, and...

Thanks for sharing the images. I agree that the battery frame appears full and doesn't show the extra module space I've seen in the R1 large battery frame. If there's no space for more batteries, it would seem that only a higher kW/volume battery improvement could yield a max pack. You have...

Respectfully, that is just speculation. Given that the R1 max pack came out much later than the large pack and that we still haven't seen a Tri motor in the configurator, I don't feel it's unreasonable to hope for an R2 max pack in the future. While I agree with you that a larger battery would...

The "EPA range" is already listed in the configurator on the Rivian site if that is what you were asking about, and figures above seem to back up configurator #s, or possibly config. # is conservative (307 miles with 20" AT on performance package). I was happy to see Rivian continuing to be...

I've already forgotten the source, but I read somewhere that employee deliveries start sometime this month. This sighting seems to support that story.

Similar situation here; I'm not sure I'm ready to give up truck features, and that amazing air suspension, but the operable rear window convinced me to put in a day 2 reservation. I won't be purchasing it sight unseen because I'm already driving a truck I love, but it's compelling enough that I...

I doubt that anyone outside of Rivian actually knows the answers to all your questions. My own search showed 2026 production figures from different sources all over the place. Gen 1 was released top-down with the full-spec quad LE first, and there were both 2022 & 2023 LE models, BUT Gen 2 was...

I love seeing these in the store and have been considering the EV Sportline bed extender for some time. I don't know who is providing the off road recover kit, but $890 is ridiculously overpriced for what's included. I built my own kit with nearly everything included for under $200, excluding...

I suggest adding your city so people know if you're near them. Or fill out your city in your profile so your home city shows up.

Not a spec of rust on my 2022, but I suspect you live in a snowy area that uses road salt? I'd give you low odds of a warranty, given it isn't deep enough to affect strength and function, but it costs nothing to ask. I have covers and agree with others that they will probably accelerate...

Respectfully, I don't share your concerns that this is a big deal or design flaw. No automaker has ever or will ever design a vehicle that satisfies the wants and needs of 100% of drivers. Every production vehicle includes compromises to one extent or another. Rivian has appears to have...

I'm one of those considering the swap, but honestly, now that I'm getting close to that becoming reality, I'm currently 60/40, leaning towards keeping my R1T. The R2 rear window would be amazing for my dogs, giving them an open-air view and freeing up my rear seat for humans, but damn, do I love...

Yep, I agree with this. The shorter answer is that the R2 will have dampers whose damping rates are controlled by the Rivian computer and/or an algorithm. Time will tell, but I'm fairly certain there will be different algorithms for different drive modes; that is the point of adding this to the...

Agreed, I'm at 2.3i/kW-hr lifetime on 20" AT wheels in a Gen1 quad that doesn't have the heat pump improvements the Gen2 has.
