Better than having it flat bedded. What is your VIN. I’m scheduled for delivery the 14th.

Please reference a cheap EV that can do 0-60 in 3.6 seconds, the 1/4 mile in 11.3 seconds, get to 100 mph on 7 seconds, handle 19” of water, has 9.5” of clearance, and can handle light to moderate off-roading. A $90,000 392 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon doesn’t have the “range” of an econobox yet...

Sounds like you made the right decision for your specific use case. Clearly the MY has more highway range. Having to pay $99 extra per month if all you want is lane keeping assist is a bummer however.

That’s incredibly efficient…I hope the R2 is similarly efficient. That said, the numbers I observed on my BMW were much higher. I wonder how much might be related to battery pack warming…and I wonder if that factor is omitted from Gemini. My BMW also has a heat pump. I can’t imagine that...

Are you kidding…of course you are focused on a small microcosm of perspective without regard to those who regularly traverse through the deserts and the plains on long interstate routes. At some point I hope you get any opportunity to see the country as it really exists. Geez. Can’t argue...

Sitting at a traffic light while in drive my BMW IX50 reflects KWH usage for climate control and non propulsion use. At zero degrees f I would estimate 6.0 kWh (assuming the car is already warm) which means you would use about 30% of a charge in 4 hours. I have no idea if the R2 is more or...

So I’m guessing you’ve cancelled your order. It is what it is…. I don’t want to drive a jellybean and the R2 serves my use case, even with range that is short of EPA. My last two EVs have also fallen short of EPA.

Then why would you make such an uninformed statement?

Grrrrr. Not exactly confidence inspiring.

I’m guessing the color you selected will need to be manufactured while those getting invites have a vehicle readily available that matches their saved favorite. I suspect that is why I secured a much earlier delivery than anticipated. They might also be trying to balance out delivery loads on...

Not to discount your statement, but the EPA highway range on 21s is 303 miles, not 330 miles. While 250 miles is still significantly short, it’s not 80 miles off of EPA. I’m also interested in city loop performance. My BMW IX50 has been a bit disappointing in urban driving, averaging about...

You obviously don’t live in fly over country….or any western state. It’s extremely common…usually 80 mph for hours at a time.

That a great question…it’s also my understanding that having an 800V capacity doesn’t mean it will necessarily charge any faster than a 400V. As chargers improve this will change.

ICE cars are far less efficient than any EV. The full battery capacity on the R2 holds the equivalent energy capacity equal to approximately 3 gallons of gasoline….thus the R2 is getting the equivalent of 80 mpg. ICE cars typical have further range but are vastly less efficient… but gas...

Hard to tell….Ive been shocked at how fast I’ve been able to secure an R2. Original reservation with a documented expiring BMW EV lease 5/28/2026, Order invite and submitted 7/28/2026, delivery scheduled in OKCY 8/14/2026. Glacial White on 20s with spare tire. I’m guessing I selected a...

I think your analysis is appropriate. While your range estimate for the ix3 is about 50 miles higher than real world testing, the other vehicles are spot on…and that could be a challenge for Rivian. Rivian doesn’t need to be the best but it does need at least 40 more miles of high speed range...

The reduced power was only a feeling of less power…not a turtle mode. Like power was throttled back by 30%. It still would accelerate sufficiently and run at highway speeds.

Interestingly, when I was at a 25% state of charge in my 2018 Tesla M3, reduced power was pronounced. My 2024 BMW IX50 experiences comparatively modest losses at 25%. Not sure how the R2 will perform. Not mentioned by any of the reviewers.

I too just received schedule to pick up R2 LE at OK City VIN 23xx August 14. Glacial White w/20” and spare tire. Reserved 5/28/2026, Ordered 07/28/2026. Have an expiring BMW EV lease…must be prioritizing buyers who with expiring leases. I live 170 miles from SC.
