Interesting that the video notes the wheels worked better (i.e., less unwanted scrolling prior to attempted button pushing) after the recent software update.

Hope I'm remembering correctly, I'm sure someone will correct me if not. No adjustability that I recall, but the 40/20/40 split outweighs that IMO (assuming I never have to sit there). 40/20/40: more than a great idea, it oughta be the law.

The backrest angle is not adjustable and I found it too far reclined. Also they do not slide forward/backward. (Our Ioniq5 beats them on both counts.) Backbreaker but not a dealbreaker for me, I'll be up front. 😉

Modern Spare is currently selling a spare for our Ioniq5 for $500, but the shipping to my locale raises the price to nearly $700. I was thinking that eventually they'd have an R2 spare, but oddly they don't seem to have a product for even R1 yet. In any case it looks like even if they did sell...

While visiting south-central PA a couple weeks ago I had no luck booking a slot at any of Glen Burnie, Gaithersburg or King of Prussia. When I called Glen Burnie the guy told me that each particular slot opened exactly 24 hours in advance, e.g., the 1pm Thursday slot would be made available for...

Expected, but glad to see confirmed! We really like their Ioniq5 mats. I seem to recall we got a decent Black Friday deal on them.

I doubt that, at least in the majority of cases. Somebody who takes the trouble to debadge is most likely someone who cares a lot about how their car looks (whether or not anyone else might approve of their design choice) and probably wouldn't buy one they didn't want. I, like many other early...

I agree. I prefer the lower profile lettering on R1.

I'd be all over Borealis if only they changed the name to Purple Haze.

That's what I thought, but sorry to get confirmation. Thanks for clarifying!

Stupid question I'm sure, but do you have to have the tow package to attach this kind of bike rack? This is really the only possible use case of that package for us, I think.

True genius! (We love our Ioniq5 and look forward to the complementary contrast of an R2. It would be more complementary if the latter was an R3, but the world is so imperfect.)

Yeah, I find them uncomfortably too far reclined. Good thing I won't be sitting there.

Double-no, you are misinterpreting the most basic rules of logic. If the glass cracked due to tint and the tint was an XPEL-installed XPEL product, then the glass was cracked by an XPEL-installed XPEL product, which Rivian has stated will not void the warranty. I am done arguing this...

Two thoughts here. First, like you we will wait on drive experience before tinting, and do the latter only as necessary. I am researching this pre-purchase only to get a feel for what's possible if it's just too hot to bear. Second, ok, we tint and the glass cracks. Rivian can't just say no...

Our matte paint Ioniq5 looks totally badass, and the care required for it is totally breakass. We love it but will not go that route again if there's a reasonable alternative. (There was none when we bought the I5 in '22 post-pandemic but pre-crossoverEV glut.

Yeah, and it actually makes me a little nervous. They need to sell a butt-ton of these to stay afloat, and I really do not want to be just another one among the next 25,000 cousins of the Fisker clan. Please, someone out there show us an invite estimate for 12/27!

I truly admire your certainty on this! Here's mine: Rivian says in writing that they will not deny coverage involving use of an XPEL product. You either think Rivian is lying or you don't.

Yeah, I waded through that entire swamp yesterday prior to calling Rivian, and I agree there are at least three places in the R2 warranty language that give Rivian an out with regard to tinting in general using brandX product installed by nonameinstallerY. However, a black-and-white statement...

No idea if XPEL applies the film above or below the glass. I'm going to assume that as professionals who have an agreement with Rivian where Rivian is happy enough with whatever XPEL does to the extent that it will not void the Rivian warranty, their methodology will be appropriate, and if not I...
