  1. Finished R2 demo test drive? Share your review / impressions

    I had a test drive this afternoon and a couple things stood out. It had a couple rattles and the car was pretty quiet until you hit the highway around 80mph then it got pretty noisy (21 inch wheels). In terms of performance, it was actually pretty meh until it hit 45mph then it hit pretty...
  2. Finished R2 demo test drive? Share your review / impressions

    The old MY is loud as hell. I road tripped one for 2000 miles. Had an old Model 3 too. I think all the new EVs are quiet so it’s par for the course now. I need to see influencers get their hands on one now to test!
  3. Finished R2 demo test drive? Share your review / impressions

    I felt my Highland Model 3 was quieter than the R1S I test drove. I wonder if the R2 is quieter than the R1.

    R2 Performance will not handle like a 5N for sure...it has like double the ground clearance 😁 I'll test drive it when there is an open spot. Its kinda hard snagging a demo drive but looking forward to it. I hope it drives much better than the tri-motor R1 I test drove last week. I'm not...
  5. Are you a Tesla owner getting the R2 as first Rivian? ⛔️ [ADMIN WARNING: NO POLITICS / NO ELON DISCUSSIONS] ⛔️

    its supposed to work but nothing in software is 100%. I feel Tesla is very stable overall though.

    It does work without a signal if you have an iPhone. It uses UWB to u lock the door.
  7. Rival: EX60 Configurator opening this month

    the first drives of the EX60 P10 are up. It does 0-60 in about 4s flat. I bet the P12 will do it in a brisk 3.5s and with 400 miles of range with a CATL battery, its pretty impressive.
  8. Rival: 2026 BMW iX3 reviews are impressive... R2 has its work cut out

    Agree. There is a large difference between mid 4s car and mid 3s car in 0-60. I know as my Kia EV6 does it in mid 4s and my Tesla in standard mode does it in mid 3s. Its a much bigger difference in feel when you get to the high 2s range (My Tesla in Insane mode). I'm hoping they release a...
  9. R2 Configurator is Live! 🎉 What's your configuration?

    Well one spec is available which is the LE. The other specs are also priced out so easy to compare right. The R2 definitely carries a premium over the Model Y (which is expected). I just wish they had a placeholder for the tri-motor :D
  10. R2 Configurator is Live! 🎉 What's your configuration?

    Actually, this pricing is not in-line with Tesla at all. Launch edition Model Y (Juniper) came with all options for free. Currently, the Model Y Performance at $57.5k comes with free paint.
  11. Rival: EX60 Configurator opening this month

    The ex60 doesn't really do offroad unless you get the Cross Country version. Also, the R2 LE has equivalent performance to the P12 without the range. I bet the P12 is much much more expensive though.
  12. More R2 models coming and R2X possible says RJ Scaringe (Reuters News)

    I don't know if i need 2 cars...but i definitely need 3 motors 😁
  13. Friend bought ModelY after keeping R1S for a day, and after learning about R2

    True. Model 3 is really good on smooth road but I'm getting older and so is my back :D
  14. Friend bought ModelY after keeping R1S for a day, and after learning about R2

    Its not all dependent on the chemistry and hoping Rivian made their's better than Teslas. I know R1s have had pretty good capacity retention...maybe they eat into buffer but it gives consumers peace of mind.
  15. Friend bought ModelY after keeping R1S for a day, and after learning about R2

    On EPA reports, Rivian is switching to NCA batteries for the R2. I wouldn't be surprised if the degradation (range) is similar to Tesla given the chemistry switch.
  16. Friend bought ModelY after keeping R1S for a day, and after learning about R2

    I've driven multiple EVs and have an EV6. I agree that overall, Tesla makes owning an EV easy and brainless. Its the easiest EV to live with but I can see why some would get bored. However, my Teslas have been the most reliable cars i've owned and I've had many Toyotas and Lexus. Hard to...
  17. More R2 models coming and R2X possible says RJ Scaringe (Reuters News)

    I really hope they unveil next year or end of this year. I have a fat check waiting for them when it releases 😁
  18. Rival: 2026 BMW iX3 reviews are impressive... R2 has its work cut out

    I agree but if they don't want performance, most likely will be comparing a $48-50k version of the R2 vs. the $65k version of the BMW. If I want the crazy performance, I'll look at a R2 at ~$60-80k vs. ~$100k iX3M version probably. That is all i'm saying...BMW will always be more expensive...
