Announcing our new "CLUBS" section where you can join or create a Rivian club or group! You can use this new feature to conveniently plan and discuss local events, gatherings or other club/group related topics.
So we encourage you to join (or start) special-interest and regional-based Rivian clubs at: https://www.rivianforums.com/forum/group-categories/clubs-groups.1/
The one you are referring to was on the R3.
So true. Not having power front truck is a miss IMO. I use mine all the time and it’s one of the features that I really, really wouldn’t want to live without again. My Mach E had an all manual frunk and it was annoying to use for a few reasons, mostly because it was manual. But the rest of the R2 looks really sharp and I’d certainly consider it regardless.
I think it’s a cost cutting measure, like removing the air suspension. They’re trying to balance the overall cost and think logically about usage. Most people would need help opening the trunk if they’re carrying something, but could shut it manually when their hands are free. I’m not saying a closing frunk lid wouldn’t be great. It would just require more hardware that would cost more money to make.
I heard someone say they should have used a 4695 cell for the R2’s flashlight since that’s the cell size they’re using in the new vehicles.
It’s hard to say because of the way how this car sits compared to that. If I had to guess it looks lower though. When I checked out the R1S a few weeks ago I did notice it was higher up. This one could be different because of how much lower the SUV sits.
