  1. Gen 1 R1T experience from a Gen 2 R1T owner

    This exactly — C’mon RIVIAN….tempt me!! The max battery in Gen 2 coupled with conserve increases the range over my Gen 1 by at least 50 miles at 75MPH. That made a big difference on my freeway trips between Phoenix and Los Angeles. It If I had a choice last September to add captains chairs to...
  2. Gen 1 R1T experience from a Gen 2 R1T owner

    I understand your reaction to the quad. I purchased a 2023 R1S Quad as soon as it was available. I replaced it with a 2026 R1S Quad last September as soon as it was available. You are right about the suspension refinements in Gen 2. I am still waiting to find a drag strip in Phoenix that will...

  4. Switched from R1T (Gen 1 Quad) to a Ford Bronco

    That Costco gas line looks very familiar! Never again!!
  5. Switched from R1T (Gen 1 Quad) to a Ford Bronco

    I just convinced my wife to part with her Prius V. She isn’t an SUV type, so I needed to find a sedan. She also hates touch screens, so I needed to find an “old school” car with some physical controls and an infotainment screen that could be shut off. Toyota had the answer, the 2026 BZ. The app...
  6. Switched from R1T (Gen 1 Quad) to a Ford Bronco

    I had 2 Broncos (1989 and 1996) and mourned their passing. I hoped that Ford would bring it back, particularly as a BEV or at least a Hybrid. Ford decided to electrify a “Mustang” instead. I am on my fourth BEV (Model X, Model 3, R1S Quad Gen 1 and currently R1S Quad Gen 2). I’m never going...
  7. The GOAT of Rivian R2 reviews IS COMING!

    Just read an Edmunds test of the 2026 Toyota BZ. https://www.edmunds.com/car-news/2026-toyota-bz-range-tested.html They should test the R2 using their protocol. BTW: I have been trying to get my wife to part with her 2012 Prius V for a BEV. She is not a SUV fan, so no R2. She likes the BZ.
  8. R2 Orders / VIN / Deliveries List Tracker + Stats 📊

    Well, get this. I have a new VIN, it's even lower, ending in 1035. Went from 2087 to that. I wonder if someone rejected the delivery of that VIN or if there is some odd logistics related matter here. Either way, I am awaiting rescheduling of the delivery now. Probably an original employee order...
  9. R2 “Easter Egg” Hiker

    We recently took delivery on 7/10 of an R2 in Catalina Cove. It is actually my daughters R2, as I drive a Gen2 R1S Quad. Well, it turns out that she has excellent eye sight and spotted this little guy in the rear side window glass. Looks like a hiker to me. A gear guard hiker perhaps? Way to...
  10. How does your Rivian stack up?

    At the time I purchased my first R1S Gen 1 Quad in 2023 I had a 2018 Tesla Model 3 LR and a 2001 Chevy Suburban K2500 8.1 Liter Big Block. The R1S replaced both. It was the best vehicle I owned until I replaced it in 2025 with an R1S Gen 2 Quad. My sentimental favorite will always be my first, a...
  11. R1 vs R2: which driver's seat is more comfortable?

    I just drove the R2 this morning and then got into my R1S. The R1S front seat is definitely more comfortable. The R2 front seat is narrower and harder, however it fits with the R2s more “sporty” character. R2 is definitely a home run, especially at its price point. R1s front seat is definitely...

    Mine was an employee designated R2 that was cancelled. VIN xx1003.
  13. First Arizona R2 delivery to a non employee (VIN #1003)

    I first saw it at the Venice Block Party. I fell in love with it immediately. It looks so different is shade vs sunlight.
  14. First Arizona R2 delivery to a non employee (VIN #1003)

    Charging port is fine. Fit and finish is excellent. The jury is still out on software. So far the only quirk discussed at delivery involved the 2nd row climate settings. If you are familiar with R1 controls the R2 presents some getting used to. Controls appearing on the R1 at the bottom of...
  15. First Arizona R2 delivery to a non employee (VIN #1003)

    Excellent. I also have 20s on the R1S. The Scorpions on the R1S do get noisier with age . I’m not sure how the Goodrich Tires will wear on the R2. Having said that the R2 rides like a dream and handles a little quicker than the R1, probably due to its much lighter weight. Mileage does...
  16. First Arizona R2 delivery to a non employee (VIN #1003)

    I took delivery today of a Launch Edition R2 in Catalina Cove with 20” Wheels. VIN #1003. I made the reservation on March 7, 2024 and received the invitation to order on 6/16 and ordered that day. I am the previous owner of a Gen 1 R1S Quad which I traded for a Gen 2 R1S Quad last September...

    It was an employee cancellation. I got lucky.
