Do any early delivery buyers have any feedback on the R2's upgraded audio system?

All of one known delivery in entire forum membership…

Don’t worry about it:
- Hearing is not universal from one person/brain to another (no reason to take hot takes you read online to heart)
- Software is never finished until Rivian’s says “we’re ending development on this generation of product”. And audio quality isn’t just the hardware alone. There are three major components to audio and hardware is only a third.

From my demo drive I thought it at least met and maybe eclipsed the Bose system I have in my 2024 Mazda CX-50. Not an audiophile by any means but just to throw a data point out for you

I drove around all day yesterday listening to just about every type of music out there via Apple Music using the Rock equalizer and I thought it sounded great. Just as good if not punchier than the Bose speakers in my Bolt.
