  1. Finished R2 demo test drive? Share your review / impressions

    20 inch tire vs the 21 is definitely my last order hangup and i keep hearing different stories about ride comfort - i definitely like the more rugged look of 20 wheels on the performance model over the bigger wheel - then theres the extra $ I have always found more sidewall equals a...
  2. Finished R2 demo test drive? Share your review / impressions

    I wanted to clarify what I wrote about the frunk/trunk buttons. I asked Rivian and they replied that they are not cap touch buttons but force buttons and only require force to activate so they will work with gloves on.

    Yeah, the frunk/trunk button bugged me too. Why not just go with a traditional pushbutton that you can feel? The current capacitive sensitive button is not user friendly and I'm afraid that neither one will work when wearing gloves unlike a typical pushbutton (have to ask about this). I guess...
  4. Poll: How often do you use your frunk?

    I like using the frunk on my R1S since it's easy to organize and hide grab and go items that I frequently use like reusable grocery bags, hats, charge adapters and bungee cords. I did not like how hard it was to close the frunk on the R2 and noticed many scratches on the hood of the demo model...
  5. Finished R2 demo test drive? Share your review / impressions

    I too was disappointed with the R2. Perhaps my expectations were too high after driving my R1S for 2.5 years and loving it but wishing it was smaller. The R2 drives great, 10/10 IMHO but there are so many little things that bugged me, especially the audio system and the funky halo wheels, that...
  6. Finished R2 demo test drive? Share your review / impressions

    I agree 100%, especially about the scroll wheels. After all the hype about them I was really turned off. On my R1 I can easily find the buttons on the steering wheel and activate them while in motion without looking. On the R2 this will be a challenge. I also felt like the stereo was very...

    Here's what I thought of my very limited 15 minute test drive. What I test drove: R2 Performance with 20" AT tires What I drive daily: 2023 R1S Quad with 20" AT tires I'll list everything that I can think of from best to worst. The test drive went great and the R2 feels very solid. I tooled...
  8. R2 First Drive Reviews - Articles & Videos 📰 🎬

    Kyle said good not great. Bluetooth was lacking but Apple Music sounded pretty good. Biggest problem is the bass. No surprise to R1 owners. I've only watched Kyle's review so there may be other but it will take hours to watch them all (and I probably will!).
  9. R2 non-powered frunk is a mistake?

    It would be nice if it had a strap attached to the underside to help pull it down. Had one on my 2003 4Runner and it was handy. The 4Runner also had the soft close hatch similar to the soft close frunk on the R2.
  10. Rival: 2026 BMW iX3 reviews are impressive... R2 has its work cut out

    The iX3 40 (RWD) is now available to configure in the UK. It's roughly £7400 less than the iX3 50 xDrive. That's about US$10,000. If the same pricing holds for the USA then the iX3 40 for the USA will start around $51,500. Really curious to see how the iX3 40 xDrive prices out.
  11. EPA Range Finalized / Published (R2 Performance)

    I was surprised to see how efficient the Woodland is given its size and design.
  12. June 9 - R2 order invites, first customer deliveries and demo drives begin!

    I wonder if the Performance and Premium will both be available for test drives. I'd like to see what difference there is in the suspension feel. The good news is that if you get an early invite but want an option that currently isn't available it sounds like the invite stays open until used...
  13. Rivian Assistant Makes Siri Look Overqualified

    It's sooooo much better than Alexa and much more fun too. I've been playing games, getting tips on dining and local events, movie times, and much more. She's quite the chatterbox and is quite complimentary too.

  16. Confirmed: R2 reservation holders will be invited to configure orders in June

    "You're on the waitlist R2 purchase access is opening on a rolling basis. Keep an eye on your inbox for an invite to order." Exciting, but the $2K paint is a bummer. Gonna see a lot of silver R2s.
