When RJ made this claim it was evidence at how superior Rivian is and what a great job they did with the R2. Now that his claim is disproven- ah it’s no big deal!! Who needs efficiency for an adventure SUV?!

Oh I don’t want to put you out! But yeah I’m curious if you’d put a dog back there, behind the seats, and feel like they’re getting enough air. I’m happy to buy a top glass shade to help, but without air getting back there I wouldn’t be stoked about using it for that purpose. (Wasn’t an issue in...

Totally agree it’s quieter on the outside. I had a Gen 2 R1S and I always felt like the car was about to explode. R2 is quieter on the outside for sure. The issue I noticed was on the inside (where I drive). It was really loud but also weirdly not very cold. Again, happy to hear if it’s been...

That’s actually not true. Kyle in Out of Spec talked about how noisy it seemed in his Park City review. Gjeebs mentioned it too. And in any case, I noticed it in my demo drives. It was both noisy but someone not getting much colder. (But I’m hoping a current owner says this is somehow fixed with...

How it’s different from the Model Y - the HVAC system is outstanding and I never have an issue keeping the whole car freezing if I need to. (And then as I mentioned the Y L does have rear air.) I’m looking for someone to tell me the R2 is great in terms of rear airflow but honestly it probably...

I’m not super interested in letting in 100 degree air as I blast the R2’s already noisy HVAC system.

I am a day one reservation holder with an invite range of August through September. However, I’m concerned about keeping the car cool and airflow, especially in the cargo area. That’s usually where my dog goes. I was surprised to learn that there is no B pillar or rear air vent. It looks like...

I don’t own an R2 so maybe my impression is wrong. My question remains.

Any impressions on cooling toward the cargo area? From what I can tell, the only rear air is on the back of the center console. I’m almost definitely going with a Model Y L because I’m concerned about not being able to keep my dogs cool. The Tesla has third row air vents on the C pillar.

I’m a day one reservation holder and it seems like I might be on track to receive an R2 in November. I’m wondering if the Travel Kitchen will fit in the R2. For the R1S it used the lift gate and anchored to it. If not, anyone have a recommendation for a great electric/induction cooktop for road...

Hey thanks everyone for the kind words! I was working all day and when I came to check the site I realized I'd been flooded by thousands and thousands of fellow Rivian fans. I'll keep making it better — both as a gift to the community and also as a way to stop from going crazy waiting for the...

I built https://www.wheresmyr2.com/ mostly for myself and also because there are so many threads of people asking when they might receive one. I used a mix of publicly available data, Wall St capacity estimates, Rivian Stories, gossip, lies and some good ole Python data analysis! It's probably...

Hmm. So I need to apply for a job at Rivian AND accept an offer letter sometime in May. (And move my family, I think.)

I want to thank everyone for confirming the prompt delivery of my R2 on June 1, 2026. Have a great weekend.

I'm actually considering an R1S again but I just feel like it's "old tech" at this point — especially the HVAC/thermal management system. The R2 is smaller but as a platform I imagine they had a chance to rethink some things... so I'm probably going to take my chances and be patient. In any...

I am a previous R1S owner attached to the same Rivian account with the R2 reservation.

good call, I’ll edit my post. Yes - launch edition.

Okay, I know nobody *really* knows, so I guess I'm looking for consensus laughter/mockery or consensus hope/affirmation. I am planning a 2,500 mile roadtrip in mid-July. What chances do I have at making the trip in a Rivian R2? I am going for a Launch Edition in my Rivian delivery preferences...
