  1. Which R2 wheel size is everyone getting?

    What about the loss of range though? 23 miles is significant.
  2. Which R2 wheel size is everyone getting?

    I think I’m going with the 21’s. Damn near a 10% range hit going with the 20’s. Plus the 21’s should be quiet than the AT’s, and ever so slightly faster. Had Pirelli’s Elects on my Model S and loved them. Great grip, quiet, and got good life out of them.
  3. R2 Highway Range at 70MPH = ~250 Miles (Modeled)

    They haven’t updated the website for some reason. EPA rated range came back at 335 miles for Performance version on 21” wheels.
  4. R2 Highway Range at 70MPH = ~250 Miles (Modeled)

    Excellent! Thank you!
  5. R2 Highway Range at 70MPH = ~250 Miles (Modeled)

    So is this not correct?? Driving slower and charging less often is more efficient. Here’s why: Aerodynamic drag is the key factor. Air resistance increases with the square of your speed, meaning the power needed to overcome it grows cubically. Going from 60 to 80 mph doesn’t just add a third...
  6. R2 Highway Range at 70MPH = ~250 Miles (Modeled)

    We are splitting hairs here, but the EPA range is 335 miles on the R2, not 330.
  7. Why I won't be waiting for Gen3 Autonomy+ hardware on R2

    I’m going to go out on a limb and say the people saying they don’t care about autonomy have not experienced Tesla FSD 14.3. It’s a game changer for driving. Makes drives so much more relaxing and less fatiguing. I like driving too, but it is so nice to not have to drive all the time. I’ll be...
  8. Rivian R2 production coming to life on assembly line! (photo)

    I’m guessing all the early production going to employees and they’ve had access to the configurator to spec the cars.
  9. 2027 Rivian R2 EPA Certification w/ specs (range, battery capacity, charging rate, efficiency etc.)

    Aren’t the wheels and the rims the same thing???
  10. Which R2 Color Will You Choose?

    I’m surprised Catalina Cove is dominating every other color. Although I have to say I was going with Esker Silver until I saw Catalina Cove in Austin and think that will be my choice. Beautiful color!
  11. R2 Performance Launch Edition Poll: Are You Interested?

    It’s not the LIDAR - it’s the RAP1 chip that’s worth waiting for!
  12. R2 Performance Launch Edition Poll: Are You Interested?

    I would buy the launch series in a heartbeat if it had Coastal Cloud interior, LIDAR, and RAP 1 chip.
  13. R1T 12v battery replacement every 2 years?!

    Yes, however there is the cost of people getting pissed off cuz their batteries keep failing.
  14. R1T 12v battery replacement every 2 years?!

    When are they going to start using Li-ion 12v batteries like Tesla now uses? They used to have similar issues and started using Li-ion 12v batteries and solved all the issues.
  15. Bike Rack on R2?

    Looks like Oregon from the pic. If so, I’m jealous!!!
  16. Rivian R2 with Lidar = Waymo?

    So you are questioning Elon Musk? They getting ready to roll out Cybercab with no controls using vision only.
  17. R1T dual standard vs R1T dual large

    Great information everyone!! Seriously greatly appreciated! I live down south in Georgia so cold weather isn’t that much of an issue. Electrochromic glass roof would be nice for the hot summers. I’m all about a comfortable ride so 20’s sound like a winner for that. I’m still on the fence! Maybe...
  18. R1T dual standard vs R1T dual large

    Thanks for your input!
  19. R1T dual standard vs R1T dual large

    Need help! These are the two I’m considering. Not sure which one to go with. I don’t make too many long trips, but the extra range would be nice. I like the idea of the smaller tires on the dual standard (cheaper to replace too). I like having the option of purchasing the performance package on...
  20. Gear Guard symbol yea or nay?

    I like it! Not thrilled about the idea of putting heavy black tape on my paint though.
