  1. The Rivian EPA Range Story: Why the R2’s 330-Mile Rating May Be Setting the Wrong Expectations

    Do you not see the pictures on this thread or do any of your own research? They do provide separate MPGe figures for city and highway, as well as the combined figure. For the R2 114 MPGe - city 96 MPGe - highway 105 MPGe - combined Effectively, the highway figure equates to roughly 300 miles...
  2. 780 Mile R2 Road Trip - Comfortable Ride, Problematic Software, Frustrating Data

    Thank you for sharing this. Setting the software glitch aside, this is encouraging info to me. Getting 2.66 mi/kWh @ 66mph average is decent. The charging speeds looked decent as well. I would love to see both of those be a little better, but they are sufficient. What was the speed limit along...
  3. 2027 R2 Performance vs. 2026 Model Y Performance - highway efficiency test (Out of Spec comparison)

    Completely fair points. RJ shouldn’t be touting the efficiency being as good as the Model Y when it clearly is not. I’m also skeptical of the UHF and its future point to point capabilities. Fortunately for me, those features are not high on my priority list.
  4. 2027 R2 Performance vs. 2026 Model Y Performance - highway efficiency test (Out of Spec comparison)

    This! I have no doubt the Model Y is more efficient and can road trip faster on your typical road trips. But the difference in time is negligible for most trips. The vast majority of my road trips are 300 miles or less. The difference in the MY and R2 will be indistinguishable on trips that...
  5. 2027 R2 Performance vs. 2026 Model Y Performance - highway efficiency test (Out of Spec comparison)

    Because the general public isn’t very bright, and this would amount to information overload. It would overwhelm the average person and they would be clamoring to go back to a single comparable figure across all vehicles.
  6. 2027 R2 Performance vs. 2026 Model Y Performance - highway efficiency test (Out of Spec comparison)

    Truly depends on where you live and how much you drive. For me, the difference is negligible. I drive less than 10,000 miles per year and our energy rates are just under $0.13 per kWh. But let’s say I drove 12,000 and the R2 got 3.0 mi/kWh. That would be 4,000 kWh for the year at $0.13 = $520...
  7. 2027 R2 Performance vs. 2026 Model Y Performance - highway efficiency test (Out of Spec comparison)

    I get it, but it’s comical to me. A 5 minute charging stop (if needed) in each direction is a deal breaker? I’ll happily spend 5-10 less minutes with family (especially if it’s the in-laws!).
  8. Glass Ceiling Treatment?

    Agreed. I’ve said this before, but I have a Mach e with the glass roof in Vegas and the sun/heat has never been an issue. I chose not to tint that vehicle on the roof or windshield. Despite that, I have chosen to tint both the roof and the windshield of the R2 even if it only saves a degree or...
  9. Glass Ceiling Treatment?

    For what it’s worth, I dropped off my R2 on Monday for PPF, ceramic coating and tinting. I brought up the concern to the guy at the shop about the potential for the roof to crack with tint. He said he’s heard people debate this and has been asked about it many times, but said their shop has...
  10. rivian google maps vs native google maps

    Thank you but I adjusted the settings to my liking, with 12% arrival. I actually think the biggest portion of the difference could be that the total time is accounting for the 1 hour time change, so realistically it should be 9 hours 41 minutes actual trip time and not 10 hours 41 minutes as...
  11. rivian google maps vs native google maps

    I haven’t used the navigation in the R2 since getting it last week. I need to test it out on a long drive. However, out of curiosity I just opened the Rivian app and planned a 600 mile trip from Vegas to New Mexico. The route it planned was 10 hours and 41 minutes with 4 charging stops. I know...
  12. Living with the R2 - 48 Hour Review

    I would be happy to. It will be a little while before we get together again. But for now, the attached photo shows small changes my buddy made to the default setting.
  13. Living with the R2 - 48 Hour Review

    I’ll preface that I am not an audiophile. I can’t tell the difference in levels of quality of good systems, but I can tell when something is bad. The system sounds good to me. Someone here on the forums had pointed out that you can mess with the EQ settings and customize everything. So I had a...
  14. Living with the R2 - 48 Hour Review

    Who needs a 3rd row? My 11 year old fits in the frunk, and my 9 year old can fold herself up into the sub trunk area. :CWL: 7 passenger!
  15. Living with the R2 - 48 Hour Review

    Haha, I’ll be damned. I forgot to check the tucked up area of the sub trunk. Yes, indeed it did come with the mobility kit. And no, I did not get the spare tire.
  16. Living with the R2 - 48 Hour Review

    It did not.
  17. L2 Adapter Included?

    This is odd to me because they offer it as an add on for what, $50 when you configure? They should absolutely disclose that you’re already getting one with the car. I didn’t see that anywhere prior to taking delivery.
  18. Living with the R2 - 48 Hour Review

    Agreed. I will get used to it quickly, but it just feels so odd coming from a traditional signal.
  19. Living with the R2 - 48 Hour Review

    Took delivery of the R2 on Friday and could not be more excited. The R2 is awesome! I absolutely love the way it drives. The ride is very smooth and it handles very nicely. The power and acceleration is legit and fun! Love the interior and it is spacious. Getting used to the halo haptic wheels...
  20. L2 Adapter Included?

    Picked up my R2 on Friday afternoon, and in the center console, to my surprise, was a free L2 adapter. I did not order it with my R2 and I do not live in one of the states where it’s given for “free”. Anyone else have this same experience? I had already ordered L2 and L3 adapters from A2Z in...
