  2. Comparing R2 Assistant & Autonomy

    Are the voice commands and queries for Rivian Assistant as good as BMW’s?
  3. Comparing R2 Assistant & Autonomy

    So is Rivian’s current park assist (R1’s and R2) is a 2015 VW tech equivalent. šŸ˜• …alas, our 2013 Ford Escape did automated parallel park the car. …when is Rivian expected to be able to automatically self-park? BTW: - I recently watched a Tesla FSD 14 video where the car could not get out of...
  4. Comparing R2 Assistant & Autonomy

    I laughed when I read the term ā€œparking assistanceā€ b/c my 2015 eGolf uses that term for its beepers and lines that sound & display whenever you put it in reverse or move it out of park. Nothing automated other than sounds, turning on the back view camera (when putting it in reverse), and...
  5. Comparing R2 Assistant & Autonomy

    I am very new to software driven driving so please forgive my ignorance. My 2015 Subaru Outback does have Eyesight (driver assistance), but that is separate from the infotainment system with its voice commands and is very limited in what ā€œautonomyā€ it provides (lane drift warning, adjusting...
  6. Coastal Cloud Interior available in August?

    I want to see it in person before I order. So, I hope it does come in August.
  7. R2 Off-Road Ability Test Video -- Great Size, Limited Flex

    I watched that video last night on YouTube in part to introduce me to the R2’s off-road capability / limitations. And, in part to introduce me to more true off-roading. I think there should be more comparisons between the R2 and midsize SUV competitor vehicles like the Jeeps, 4Runner...
  8. Aftermarket R2 accessories wishlist

    I have seatback rubber mats in my 2015 Subaru Outback. They attach using Velcro which grabs the carpeting of the setback and cargo area.
  9. Next R2 Hardware Wishlist

    How many of these hardware changes that people are wanting can be remedied (made or mitigated) by aftermarket vendors? For example: on another thread I saw someone post a grab handle for people in the back seats which latches to the headrest. I’d call that made although only a partial solution...
  10. Next R2 Software Update (2026.24) is Big! Garage Door Opener, Pet Comfort Mode, Gear Guard, Launch Mode, WiFi Hotspot & More

    That was not the point of my post. I simply want the data and I’m wondering how it can be obtained. I’m not going to get in a he-said-she-said with you.
  11. Next R2 Software Update (2026.24) is Big! Garage Door Opener, Pet Comfort Mode, Gear Guard, Launch Mode, WiFi Hotspot & More

    this brings up a good question… where are all the software/OTA updates tracked for each of the auto manufacturers? I am new to the OTA Update realm of cars. None of mine have had this feature. When I owned a Miata, the main forum for that car had all the service bulletins and recalls...
  12. Finished R2 demo test drive? Share your review / impressions

    I’ve been looking at these 2 as well. When I priced a comparably equipped EX60, it was about $12K more than the R2 as I recall. Got me thinking that maybe this Rivian is the ā€œMazdaā€ of this bunch. …Just a thot.
  13. Who HASN'T been invited to order with an early reservation?

    Shazam! I received my timeframe to order (invitation?) update this morning, And yes, your selected preferences make a difference. Mine likely impacting my dates are the exterior and interior colors. That’s nice customer service IMHO!!
  14. Grab Handles for R2

    As a senior over 67 who drives an Outback & an eGolf, I will agree that accessibility is important. I don’t typically use the grab handle getting in or out of any car unless the roof line is too low for my head as it is in the backseat of the Ford Fusion (2nd body) and the Kia EV6. I do know...
  15. R2 Driving Dynamics

    I was (maybe still am) a hypermiler of the mid 1970s so I’m not a 1PD kind of person. My husband is not a fan of heavy/strong regen and I only use it occasionally. as said, the R2 regen is fairly adjustable. I won’t be able to glide along in a R2 like do in my eGolf. It has Zero (we use for...
  16. Finished R2 demo test drive? Share your review / impressions

    I understand that, for example, a Ford Mach-E charges at 80-150 kW below 80% and drops down to around 12-15 kW above 80%. I guess I am wondering whether such stats for R2’s are known/released. And, how such stats for the R2 compare to the same stats for the - Tesla Model Y, - Hyundai Ionic 5...
  17. Finished R2 demo test drive? Share your review / impressions

    As I mentioned in my post after my demo a week+ ago, we are looking for a ā€œcompelling proposition.ā€ To that end, I am looking at the charge curves over 80%. So far, I am seeing that they drop significantly for many other models. - What is the drop down for the R2 above 80%? - How does this for...
  18. Finished R2 demo test drive? Share your review / impressions

    I personally miss the feel of manual transmission. Bought a manual in college and loved how I got to decide its RPM and hum, and the feel the transmission while shifting. So, I used to switch between a fun manual and a practical automatic about every change in cars UNTIL I drove my 1st...
  19. R2 Dog Gear

    I’d love to learn how you got your dogs to use ramps. I tried the YouTube ways, but my Dals have never liked ramps. They’d rather, when young enough, jump or climb in through a back passenger’s seat/seat area. And, when old, rely on me to help lift ā€˜em a little.
  20. Who HASN'T been invited to order with an early reservation?

    …so what percentage of the 200K reservations do you think the 20K-25K 2026 production goal/estimate is intended to cover as Performance LE bookings?
