Had a great drive today in Ladson, SC. It was 91 degrees and crazy humid. The glass roof was fairly hot to the touch, but didn't radiate heat. Those ventilated seats are a chef's kiss. Coming from a Jeep Wrangler, R2 drove like a dream. I was looking for bumps to hit to see how it took them...

As much as it pains me to say, if the worst part of the R1 refresh is that current R1 owners will be upset, then hats off to you Rivian. You must have done the refresh masterfully, especially with 30% cost reduction.

Everyone is a comedian! I edited it just for you. Lol.

A V8 engine in 1994 pushed out 220 HP and got 15 MPG. The 4 banger in my wife's 2019 Edge pushes out 250 HP and gets 28 MPG. What you are describing is essentially natural evolution of any technology and shouldn't have too much effect on your "now" decisions.

I'm half heartbroken it took so long for the proper response, and half elated I just made two new best friends.

I was seriously hoping someone would respond with this! Well done.

Sounds like a very uncomfortable place.

As I'm sitting here completing my typical weekend routine of doing absolutely nothing, something dawned on me. The brilliance of the R3 is that it is the first EV that I can recall that doesn't look like you just stepped out of a time-traveling DeLorean 30 years in the future. In fact, it's...

I didn't understand it until I drove in Ireland where the roads are tiny and twisty, and 120 KPH isn't a speed limit, it's a speed dare.

Yep. And I'm not even mad about it. I like it more every photo I see. However, I'm sure it wasn't designed 100% with the US in mind. Maybe 50% tops. This will sell like MAD in Europe.

Thought I'd try to find an analog as size it against my Jeep size. The Honda Fit is an inch taller but checks in at 161 inches. Should be a pretty accurate representation.

I was considering selling my JL Wrangler when I get the R2 in 2026 My mind has now wandered to waiting a bit longer, buying the R3 and keeping the Jeep. Every time I see it, I like it more. However just thinking about the range and potential performance is really enticing.

I'm loving the R3 more literally every time I see a photo. My first car was an 11 year old, $600 1981 VW Rabbit. The nostalgia vibes are very real.

Reservation Made

This is what I'm thinking will be the case.

Rivian is approaching a bridge period where people know there will be a cheaper Rivian coming up, which means people may just wait. Riv is making a concerted effort to get folks waiting for the higher end of the R2 to just go ahead and pull the trigger now on an R1. It may have just worked on me.
