Anyone else notice R2 All-Terrain "Large" Premium Edition with 137kWh battery? I'm guessing the battery is a holdover from R1, but you'd think the car they're showing off would have updated software...

I'm more curious to see what the other differences between Gen 2 & Gen 3 will be. Yes, Gen 3 will have LIDAR, but will there be other substantial architecture differences like the computer zoning changes from Gen1 -> Gen2?

I only know about the DEET solvent effects because i learned the hard way - luckily not on my car. Applied a bunch of it, then ended up covered in paint that it was stripping off a beach volleyball i was holding. I use a picaridin based lotion now for bug repellent.

I'm going to guess you used bug spray recently. DEET is a known solvent and will act on some plastics.

That's a big miss if Rivian didn't just integrate Qi2 into the OEM pad. Easy & cheap retrofit, wouldn't even need the divider up top so it would look sleeker too.

The Rivian/Porsche combo: An R1T to tow your GT3R to the track.

If Porsche ends up putting Rivian drivetrains into their vehicles, that could propel the Rivian brand far.

This does lend credence to a SC in Charlotte. Rivian careers currently has openings in Charlotte for Maintenance Technicians.

TIL - thanks for the info! Still wish it were shorter but i understand why now. I'm still pre-ordering immediately anyway :cool:

TBH it's a bit longer than needed. There's plenty of cargo space in a Honda Element at 170". With the packaging efficiencies of an EV, an R2 at 175-180" length would've been plenty.
