  1. R1S vs R2 = Tier 1 Luxury vs Entry Level EV?

    The advisor wasn’t trying to sell me though, that’s the weird part and what threw me off even more. It wasn’t like they were trying to pitch me on anything. They were just answering questions.
  2. R1S vs R2 = Tier 1 Luxury vs Entry Level EV?

    For those of you who have owned or driven an R1S (or R1T) and have seen the R2 in person and sat in it, did you get a sense that there is wide gap in the quality of the materials and feel of the vehicles? Background: I am a Day 1 reservation holder for the R2 and I have been excited and waiting...
  3. R2 Configurator is Live! 🎉 What's your configuration?

    Oh haha… I thought you meant dark wheels as in something like a dark out package similar to what is offered on the R1.
  4. R2 Configurator is Live! 🎉 What's your configuration?

    Where is this option and what is the cost?
  5. R2 Rivian Portable Charger for $400?

    I look at it the complete opposite way. Paying $60k for a car and not getting a charging unit included with it is a joke. Imagine buying any appliance or an electronic device and it not coming with a power adapter or cord to power it. That’s asinine. For me, it’s not about the dollar amount...
  6. R2 Configurator is Live! 🎉 What's your configuration?

    I thought they have already said that destination will be $1,495 for the R2.
  7. Rivian dropped my truck!

    Now with those additional details, he is clearly being ridiculous. What they offered is what I would expect from a company like Rivian.
  8. Rivian dropped my truck!

    If we take the OP at face value, it wasn't a random Rivian employee misspeaking out of panic. His post said that it was a call from the Regional Service Manager the week after the incident. Then he was contacted a second time by the vehicle replacement team the following day asking him to...
  9. Rivian dropped my truck!

    I disagree with the premise that this is just another accident. It's negligence on the part of the Rivian service center. Even if it were the equivalent of just another accident, that is not the way a brand such as Rivian should be treating the incident. If they want to be an American, Luxury...
  10. Xiaomi car business profitable after only two years 😮

    While I agree the chart cannot be taken as fact, the truth is Amazon has actually received billions in subsidies in the form of sales tax exemptions, property tax abatements, cash grants (that don't need to be paid back), and reduced cost land acquisitions. These are usually made at the state or...
  11. Xiaomi car business profitable after only two years 😮

    Amazon has received $14.5 billion in subsidies.... Incredible. They have over $250 billion in retained earnings and their net income for 2025 was nearly $77.7 billion. They should be disqualified from ever receiving another subsidy.
  12. Paid my $2500 for Autonomy+

    Other than the lane changing, what you're describing sounds like all you need is a lane keeping/centering feature and adaptive cruise control. Most vehicles (EV or otherwise) have these features standard. What am I missing? Is standard adaptive cruise control behind a pay wall on Rivian...
  13. Obligatory Sold My Rivian Post

    Wait, the Lucid Cosmos (or Earth?) is supposed to be a SMALLER version of this? Smaller than this 2 door, 2 seater car?
  14. Rivian R2 Tour Dates & Locations - "Block Party" 🗺️ 📍

    While I don't think the tour is a bad idea, I do think it would be much better to get at least one R2 to each of the Spaces as soon as possible. I'm heading to SoCal near the end of May and was hoping that one of the Spaces down there would have an R2 to at least look at in person at that...
  15. Which R2 Color Will You Choose?

    If this ends up being true, then my vote for Launch Green might have been a lie. Catalina Cove might be the winner if free!
  16. R2 Wheels Options, Tire Sizes, Width, Offset - Hub Bore Size - 19" and 20"

    Adding the choice of AS vs AT tires on the 20" wheel option does not degrade the higher trim higher profit margin of the Performance trim.
  17. R2 Wheels Options, Tire Sizes, Width, Offset - Hub Bore Size - 19" and 20"

    Since the Premium trim comes standard with 20" all season tires, I don't understand why the Performance trim's option for the 20" wheels wouldn't include an option for the all season tire in addition to the option for the all-terrain tire.
  18. Which R2 Color Will You Choose?

    The videos are good, but nothing can replace seeing them in person. I'm in the camp of wishing they had options for Rivian Blue, Red Canyon or even El Cap Granite. And of course, Storm Blue! I might take any of these colors over the actual available options.
  19. Rival: 2026 BMW iX3 reviews are impressive... R2 has its work cut out

    That's funny, because my take away was that he was actually very impressed with the iX3. He had some minor gripes about it, and didn't love the exterior design, but overall gave it a really positive review. The interesting bit in his review was about the efficiency. His efficiency was quite bad...
