I think the annoying thing about the real world range of the R2 is that they also compromised on charging speeds. 10-80% in 30min is not good in 2026. The only reason Rivian isn't getting killed for it is that the MY also has similar charging speeds.
The EX60 is reported to have 350 miles of...
There's lots of folks who have had little or no problems. My neighbor has an R1T which has had basically 0 issues (though he only drives it like 3-4k miles a year). However, I was not one of those. In the time I owned mine I had over $35k in repairs, of course covered under warranty. As I...
I think the issue with the EPA range and real range being off is that Rivian also compromised on charging speed. Lets face it, the charging speeds are slow for a 2027 vehicle. The only reason it wont get killed for this is that the Model Y also has relatively slow charging speeds.
Yikes, not great, but you shouldn't be buying a Rivian for efficiency. You buy it for capability. I think the most disappointing thing is that its not much more efficient than the R1. Felt like the marketing was making us believe it was leaps and bounds better. I wonder if RAP will make it more...
I'm pretty sure as a R1T owner I will be underwhelmed by some aspects of the R2 but I know that going in. The R2 will be a superior daily driver and weekend warrior but corner cases and extreme adventuring the R1T will reign supreme. Half the price but more than half the vehicle? I think so.
Sure, if you like watching hours upon hours of unedited, stream of consciousness, content.
He wanted to make sure his hurt feelings were known to Rivian with a little "screw you".
40K miles on my LE R1T. Was in service more than 10 times in 3 eyars and total cost of repairs was over $35k. Most of it covered under warranty. I sold the truck due to concerns how much it'd cost to maintain post warranty.
AI's answer: The humming noise from a parked EV usually comes from the thermal management system or electronic components. It typically happens when the vehicle is preconditioning (heating/cooling the battery), maintaining cabin temperature, charging the 12V battery, or cooling down after a drive.
Rivian had it on display for a few months after reveal back in 2024 but no one has really seen it since. Calculated move probably because it was so popular and had more buzz than the R2. They certainly have been hiding it as they’ve moved towards the R2 release this year. I’d imagine we won’t...
Any predictions or thoughts on how the Premium and Standard versions of the R2 will drive and ride? Goes without saying the Performance trim will have better ride handling and comfort but how much better? Would like to know if it’s worth the cost to get the Performance trim with semi active...
Not as big a difference as I thought. Need to see in person.
This is a good comparison of the color vs and existing color on Tesla.

Yeah, it was likely the previous demo driver. Inconsiderate of them to not lower it. Rivian probably should have some procedure to "reset" the vehicle before each drive.
