Not sure if this is a dumb question or not, but did employees drive all those R2s from Normal, IL or did they truck them to Utah?

I am very impressed that RJ sits down with his AI people and reads journals (primary literature) on AI. Wow! He wants to be leading edge. Very impressive.

Don't be too sure. Ocean coast (white seats with light woodgrain) was an option for the R1 and you couldn't order it for a long time. I guess it's available now?

As a somewhat regretful early adopter of an R1S that disappointed in some respects–but was awesome in others–I am definitely cheering for Rivian R2. I hope the R2 is the vehicle that catapults Rivian into profitability. RJ and the Rivian team deserve it.

Ask Porsche.

As a desert dweller (Phx), I would have liked to see a few more lighter colors other than "Glacier White" which is probably what I will get anyway. Speaking of heat, is the sunroof on the R2 electrochromatic? If not, I will need to wrap sunroof in white and/or get an interior sun shade. Yes...

I see Rivian now makes the key fobs with visible lock/unlock icons like I had to do manually with a paint pen back in the summer of 2023. LOL.

Absolutely. My point is that many customers would pay a premium (~$65k) for a max pack.

That's why they have engineers: to figure out how to add 15% more range. Yes, maybe at the expense or weight/towing and cost. But plenty of people will pay for max pack including me.

Elon has become the Tesla killer. LOL.

Yep. I wonder why they couldn't stuff 100 kWh battery in there to push the range to "real life" 300 miles?

Rivian better get their service centers up to speed if they are going to sell like hotcakes (and I hope they do both: sell like hotcakes and install more service centers).

Has anyone made after market headlight warmers? Love low power of LCD, but the halogens are great at burning off snow. LCD after market headlights on Wranglers are the worst bc the show piles up in the concave area under the lights

A couple years ago my son put LED lights on his Jeep Wrangler and actually magnified this snow buildup issue due to the wrangler's headlight configuration within the body/grill. I can't remember if the wrangler aftermarket community came up with a solution. And I agree it's a safety issue.

I met a guy in the parking lot at the store yesterday who was driving a Polestar 3. I asked him how he liked it and he said it was great- it's his second one. Too bad they are $20k overpriced. I liked the looks of it alot. Does anyone know if it has a tow hitch for a bike rack?

I hope so. Heated headlamps could be evaluated now (or before now) during testing. Seems like it should be something simple to embed a thin heated wire in headlight lens. But probably easy to overlook.

Agree. My June 2023 R1S acceleration was very unresponsive. I had to practically floor it to get decent acceleration. And backing up in the first gen R1S made me think I was going to go through the garage wall. Tesla has it just about right. I wont' buy the R2 if the accelerator mapping...

New adaptive headlights are very cool. Any intel on heated headlights that don't get covered when driving through falling snow? As far as a I know, most all LED headlights have this issue. The old halogens are melt the snow as soon as a flake hits the headlight.

I am a former R1S owner. I live in Phx and couldn't take sub-par AC and 8-10 week service appts. If I lived almost anywhere else, I would still own my R1S. Can someone tell me– did Rivian change the accelerator mapping so you don't need to mash the accelerator so hard when you need instant...

The sad part is that it will be cool again by the time you get a Service Center appointment.
