On the fence these days myself. I'm spoiled by ridiculously low monthly payments ($368) on my '24 R1S quad, because I had a lot of equity built up in my trade-in (Toyota 4Runner). A Launch edition R2 will likely cost me $500 MORE per month than my R1, even after putting down like $8k at...

@ribuck97 , there's no such thing as a free launch

Still don't understand OP, how do I finance a car for 3 years without paying it off? Are we looking at monthly payments based on a 72 or 84 month auto loan and then just looking at value after 36 months? How can you assume there's any equity at 36 months after making minimum payments spread out...

I got to drive the Performance trim with 21" wheels in Catalina Cove this AM. My takeaways from the brief 16 minute drive: Coming from my Gen 1 R1S Quad, the seats immediately felt better in the R2, softer leather for sure. Ventilation was actually blowing out of the perorations... much better...

Lease an EV unless you plan on heavy modding or business use. For R2, we don't know what the true residual value will be in 3 years, but the trends aren't good. Why eat all that depreciation and be left with 2-3 years of "premium" sized payments on a vehicle that has what will be considered...

Demo Drivers, not sure if you'll have time to log into Apple Music, but I'd love to hear some feedback on the R2 audio system... were they able to improve on R1's mediocre Rivian Elevation system or is the sound quality of the R2 Performance Launch Edition's "Premium Audio" equally underwhelming?

Booked for tomorrow morning at 11:00AM!

If I used my Frunk more than 2-3 times a year I'd be surprised. Honestly, with my Gen 1 R1S here in Florida and not much heat shielding between the front motors, HVAC fans and the frunk interior, it seems like it's always 120 degrees in there. Too hot for groceries. I only keep my charge...

We had a pool built around 2021-22 and at the time we were obsessed with making the pool finish be the deepest possible blue we could. Over the past four years it's faded a bit and now has a gray, tan and green cast to it depending on lighting and time of day. Initially, I had been a little...

Stop with the add-ons, I'm trying to get an R2 for under $60k. Do you really want to pay Morgan Freeman a royalty every time your Rivian routes you through the back loading dock area of a grocery store on the way to the airport? Best we can hope for (for free) is Nicholas Cage, but the deal is...

If you're curious, she will only calculate Pi to 100 decimal places, then you're on your own.

Love to make a custom Sub Trunk subwoofer enclosure for R2... assuming audio is anything like R1 it would be markedly improved with a decent subwoofer and amp.

Lol, Ironically, I was going to add that my backup plan was Launch Green and Crater. As a day 1 reservation holder with an R1S lease that won't be up until November, I'm hopeful to get into an R2 with a light interior before the end of the year. We'll see.

I'm starting to worry that our current preference of Catalina Cove exterior with Coastal Cloud Signature interior is going to be what every other R2 out there will be wearing by next spring. #CCCCS

I used to be in the camp that was "waiting for Lidar" - As I understand it now, the R2 LIDAR will be a data collection tool to help train Rivian's self driving model (for EVERY Rivian's benefit) rather than a self-driving tool that your individual car actually uses to make realtime "decisions"...

So, maybe just an R2X kit with orange mirror and tow hook covers.

UnsungZero_OldTimeAdMan, when something is mixed well in Atmos, it sounds phenomenal. I'm not a huge Tom Petty fan, but the Atmos mixes of that material is amazing, along with some of the Beatles remixes/remasters. The problem I've got with Atmos is that most of the content out there has been...

I wish Rivian sold a "plug and play" R1S subwoofer that fit in the large spare tire cavity, taps into the existing wire harness and gets a "Sub level" fader on the EQ screen. Seems like that would solve about 95% of the audio shortcomings.

How do you have a '25 Meridian? I thought the Meridian sound systems were discontinued in Feb 2023?

Gen1 R1S with Rivian Elevation audio. Agree w/ superfluid's detailed info & EQ curve. If I'm actively listening and alone in the car, I use Apple Music, no spacial surround nonsense, Dolby Atmos OFF, volume typically at 12. If I've got passengers and we are talking it's between 4-8. FWIW I was...
