I must be cursed, Half Moon Gray is my selected color. Does this mean delays. :( I might as well go with Esker Silver and save $1500. With my luck some LA Silver get mixed in.

You know, I was set on Half Moon Grey, but the Esker Silver seem to look just as good and cost less.

A subwoofer to fit into the spare tire area as an optional accessory.

Tesla has been relatively flat for the last 4-5 years too at about $350 if I had to guess. It did have some peaks at ~$480 December 2024 then dive, then peak again at ~$498 January 2026, I know because I sold all my holding at $450 - $480 after 9 years, it was a good ride. Tesla was never going...

So what you are saying, as a commuter car of 25 miles round trip, maybe 100 miles on the weekend, if any, maybe 300 -500 mile trip once a year, all for a total of 8K -9K miles a year, and garage for overnight charging, this car is perfect for me? :) But as a road trip car or urban car where...

I respect your plan, but are you a Trader or Investor? I have not did well as a short term trader, maybe 50% gain, but as an investor, I have done well. I've been buying Rivian since 2022 almost every month, I plan to hold until 2032. I did this with Tesla in 2016 and sold all by end 2025...

Another data point, I have 3 cars about $200 each every 6 month with State Farm in midwest. My insurance quote for replacing my 2009 Honda Civic with a R2 would be about $360 every 6 months. Not bad, I hope it holds until I can purchase the R2.

Rivian has a great product and a great team but they always seem to be "a day late and dollar short" and playing catch-up to me. Their timing seem to be off by 12 to 18 months getting to market for various reasons to miss big opportunities. 2020 COVID caused delays and supply shortages New...

Rivian better sell a lot of the R2 and get the R3/R3X out sooner. I think this move means they are very optimistic about the company, but it will probably dip again after the earnings on July 30th. I'm still in for the long run. :)

You didn't get an email asking to save your configuration to favorites?

Did you factor in the configuration? The color, interior and wheels may impact availability. If there were a "don't care" to get the car sooner, I would pick that. :) I'm fine with all color except green, green is my least favorite color. :(

I agree, Tesla had first mover advantage to be successful, but I was referring from an investment point of view. There were a lot of investment naysays and one of the most heavily shorted stock. I started investing in tesla in 2016 and I remember the FUD around Testa for every car they...

Reminds me of when the Tesla M3 first came out, so many naysayers and FUD around Tesla, but Rivian does not have it as bad.

Rivian's stock price should at least 5x in the next 5 years pending on FSD and R3/R3X. Oh, and Apple Carplay, Rivan can't survive without. ;)

Ok mister legal eagle, at least we will get an invite to order and get a delivery date. ;) It's either that or Rivian's roll out of the R2 is FoS.

One more day until open orders for all, in theory. 🤔

Is anyone else looking forward to a Munro Live teardown of the R2? I don't think it would influence my purchase but I would be nice to hear some build analysis.

If the R2 was really available for sale, why can't I order one now? (rhetorical question) This is the weirdest soft release I've ever encountered. It will be 3 weeks next Tuesday since R2 "available for sale" and I still can't order because you have to be invited to order. Make it make...

Is the paint protection film worth getting? How long does it last? I was think of getting just the front done. I had a 95 Isuzu Rodeo for 15 years and the front had a lot of wear, but that was after 15 years and 170K.

Even worse because I don't remember getting an eta just to get an invite to actually order.
