You should do whatever is that you feel comfortable with. I do, however, recommend a moment of reflection. We have 2 kids in their mid 20s. Both work in high cost of living cities (San Francisco and the Silicon Valley). Can really appreciate what you are saying. Kid in SF gave up his car...

This is Rivian, not Ferrari where an allocation for new models heavily depends on other vehicle purchases. Rivian will sell you R3X if you want one.

The conventional suspension on R2 is really going spur lots of different mod options. This is just the beginning. SEMA probably will have many vendors with various mods for R2.

I am not in the market for any SUV. Already have R1S and don't need another. I am a Rivian shareholder and have a great interest in Rivian doing well. My original comment was aimed at the overall product competitiveness against other cross shopped vehicles. If the product falls short of...

I am formally educated both BS and MS as aeronautical engineer and have worked over 30 yrs in the aerospace industry. Quite aware. While form factor is a major contributor, there are so much more. Not interested in comparing to Tesla. Rivian needs to make the R2 competitive to all others...

Correct. The law of physics is universal. The question is why hasn't Rivian figured out how to make it work better when others have....

If this is the typical result, its very poor for a 2027 EV, regardless of tire/wheel setup.

Don't know about an unicorn, but you are one of very few that Venn diagram overlaps....

Very typical CNBC reporting. Too much assertions, unsubstantiated interpretations on what the data says and telling the story to match their own predetermined conclusions. 1) Legal immigration has not chanced and illegal immigrants typically do not buy new vehicles immediately. 2) Decline of...

You still need to use the Tesla app to get the membership pricing. In fact, I have had to turn off RAN station option on the map and have only Tesla SC so that it actually shows up in completeness. If there are both Tesla and RAN, the Rivian map will always select RAN over SC in routing .

Other than nostalgia, manual transmission - while it's more engaging (actually more work) as a driver - is out dated and overrated. I owned nothing but MT until the family size became such that I needed a 4 door vehicle. There is nothing better than EV for daily driver. The commute, errands...

I own a vehicle with and without PPF. One with (full front, side rockers and behind the rear wheel - track pack) has no pitting, chipping or scratches on the paint. One without has small pittings and no chipping or scratches. I hesitated installing PPF for the fear of removal of PPF. Horror...

First, most people here on the forum knows I am not a Rivian rah rah or fan boy. Don‘t take this the wrong way. Your post really speaks to how uneducated you are about Rivian. There is nothing you’d listed other than lack of Accessories, which is expected for any new model vehicle, are new...

Congrats and enjoy the ride s00n. Question? Roughly what is your VIN range. Is it in 2,000s yet? I've seen several R2's on the road with paper plates already so Rivian must be pumping them out.

Here's the thing. While we rely on the digital technologies, we still reside in an analogue existence. Everything we see, hear, feel as a living being is analogue. Appreciate the frustration, if the vehicle does not open/unlock, start the vehicle. We've gotten, those of us on EV only, so...

This completely does not make any sense, especially with the regen braking assist off. Regen braking does not use friction brakes. the motor becomes the generator and converts the kinetic energy back to the cells. In other words, electric motor is used to slow the vehicle and not...

Don't take this the wrong way. I just found this post to be how people see autos today versus how it used to be and just SMH. It used to be that "best driving vehicle I've ever driven" would be the top priority and made the car highly sought after. Today, it appears not very high on a vehicle...

Lucid is essentially a Saudi Arabian company. They own about 60% of the company and has a production site in Saudi. Most likely the company is shifting more work to there. https://www.reuters.com/business/world-at-work/ev-maker-lucid-lay-off-about-18-us-workforce-2026-06-22/ Cuts to affect...

If a product sells for $X normally, and on the Prime Days, it sells for less than $X, I don't see how it is a scam. Perhaps these comments from reddit is just hunting for deals and not necessarily a particular item one is interested in? Over the years, I have found things I wanted and if it's...

Why??
