Same. I have a day-one reservation for the Scout, but my R2 reservation was made about six months after it was open. So not sure how soon my number will come up. At this point I'm not sure which way to go, it really depends on what Scout can deliver. If they truly can price it under $60K for a...

I think the size is perfect for the R2 - this will replace my EV6, which is also pretty much the perfect size (and similar) other than the sloping rear hatch that limits cargo space. I'm still planning on getting a nicely equipped RWD R2 with the largest battery pack possible. If I need...

I think that likely comes later - right now they need to focus on getting a $45K mass-market Model Y competitor to market. They did mention a tri-motor R2 so perhaps that will be close to what you are speaking of but probably not quite that fast... The R3x may also bring a lot of performance...

So far I love it, I've put about 11K miles on it in a little over 10 months. I've had none of the ICCU issues that some owners have had with Kia/Hyundai EV's either. Honestly, for the lease price it was an offer I couldn't refuse. I'm hoping the end of lease is close enough to when my R2...

Before we begin - remember folks, this is for fun and speculation....what else is there to do for the next year or two? I currently drive a RWD EV6 Light Long Range and am about 90% comfortable with only having rear-wheel drive and 225HP. I know most of the people here are jazzed about an 800hp...

The only way to do this fairly is to add a set federal fee to everyone's registration (regardless of the vehicle being ICE or EV) and eliminate the gas tax all together. This $1000 tax screws the original owner of the vehicle and puts an unfair burden on those of us that intend to lease and get...

Hmm...31" of rear leg room is a bit concerning. But I'm not sure this is how it's measured as a standard spec. If it is, that's surprisingly small considering the Tesla MY is listed at 40".

It's time for Farley to step down. Ford is a mess and comments that basically say "We have no idea how to compete or build products people want/need" are a really bad sign that you are not the right person for the job.

The R2 will proportionally be very similar to a Model Y (intentionally...), so that's a good yardstick to see if it's the right size for you.

If this is the best Stellantis could come up with, I think they are in deep trouble. What a mess, and will likely start well over $60K too.

@UnsungZero_OldTimeAdMan " Wassym is an open book on most topics, so feel free to ask about the R1 lineup, the upcoming R2/R3 platforms, or Rivian’s past and future plans." Perhaps not the best person to ask, but this statement seems to be fairly broad - so why not?

Would like first-year production estimate for the R2, current reservation count and anticipated take-rate, and what trims/configs will be the easiest to get in the first year of production.

Two in LA and nothing in San Diego. Come on Rivian, need to see that R2!

I'd guess 70kWh for the standard pack and about 90kWh for the large pack. That would give the single-motor a range over 300 miles with the large pack. Seems reasonable to me. And with pricing dropping at the current rate and larger/more efficient batteries I think that a production cost of...

If Rivian had a truck for $60k, I'd be driving it now instead of an EV6 and reservations for the R2 and Scout Traveler.

See them all the time in SoCal - at this point nobody gives them a second look. Tesla screwed up bad with this one, had they made a bit more of a conservative truck it would have been a huge hit. Now that the Tesla Bros are already driving them and thinking about their next attention-getter...

I guess they didn't ask the Telluride designer for his input on this. Jeez. Only good news is that (allegedly) the Tom Selleck moustache fender flares can be swapped for more traditional ones as an option. I suspect everyone will want that option...

In what vehicle though? I don't think the R2 is big enough to do something like that and carry your bags, provisions, etc. while camping. It's probably similar to the interior size of my Bronco - and I know that would never have worked out. Honestly I think folding the front seats and camping...

I have a reservation for both the R2 and Scout Traveler. I figure I have a couple years to see how things develop before having to make a decision. In the end, I have a feeling that I'll stick with the R2 - I owned a 2021 Bronco 4dr and while it was fun, it was also too big for the amount of...

I've never understood the appeal of in-car camping anyway. Having to clear the space to sleep seems like such a hassle (camping is hassle-enough already). If you really love camping that much, get a towable pop-up or something. Or a RTT. Regarding Tesla...I've never been less comfortable in...
