Did my Demo Drive in N. Las Vegas, and I was really impressed with the R2. I think the halo wheel clicking/rotating issue is one that will get resolved with a day or two of use. For those that were concerned about the MagSafe not working, at least for my demo vehicle, the guide said the function...
As of this moment, there are 7 orders in the tracker. It's interesting that 4 of the 7 don't have an estimated delivery. Seems odd.
Also, as expected, all 7 are current R1 owners with Day 1 reservations
I was really excited when I saw that Half Moon Grey R2 in a stealth wrap. And figured if the R1S was being advertised at $5,500 for the full body protection, then the R2 would probably be in the $4,500-4,700 range. That would have been somewhat doable. But I don't think I can pull the trigger on...
R2 XPEL pricing has been added. The pricing went up and the price for the R2 appears to be the same as the R1. Starting at $5,995 for full vehicle Stealth. Not cool bro
As others have said, it's with $3,500 down. This is actually a terrible lease deal as the implied interest rate is 9.64% and you pay the $895 acquisition fee as a lease penalty that isn't applicable when you purchase.
I like that you included the methodology page. I had forgotten the number of first day reservations that had been touted. I would bet that the conversion rate, even for the first day reservation holders, is going to be less than 46%. But I like that being the basis for the model anyway. Then...
Do we know if the pricing options for the R2 will be available on June 9th for the PPF, window tint and ceramic coating options? I know someone posted their guess was around $4,500 for the XPEL Stealth on the R2. That’s probably a good guess. Just hope they will have actual pricing listed on...
I did some googling and quickly found some photos and video examples. It looks incredible. And honestly, I hadn't considered Half Moon Grey before. After seeing the photos at the start of this thread, it looks awesome with that Stealth PPF.
I may or may not have been in Irvine recently and allegedly stalked the Rivian HQ parking lot. If I had been there, I would have seen several R2s parked there in various colors (Half Moon Grey, Glacier White, Launch Green, Catalina Cove) but no examples of an Esker Silver.
For all of you lucky June 9th invitees, I’m looking forward to you posting your finance or lease terms, so you can inform the rest of us post June 9th donkeys.
If I were to give the advisor the benefit of the doubt, maybe they were thinking of the Ascend interior when making the comments because we had just driven one with the Ascend interior.
Would you say there’s a noticeable difference? I’m not surprised if it’s a little less quality, but I wouldn’t expect it to be too much. The R1S I demo drove today was phenomenal. The interior was super nice, and definitely better than my Mustang Mach e interior. But I still wouldn’t say there...
