New Rivian R2S Teaser Image! (2/24/24)

The shadow itself makes no sense. There should be some portion of the shadow on the ground.

I really hope the glass roof is optional. Just not my thing and one of the few things I dislike about my R1T.

Ive been praying for no glass!

Rumor is it will be a dashboard celebrity hologram of your choosing who shouts the speed at you every 2 seconds. I plan to choose Pink Panther Peter Sellers for mine.

Can we get R2-D2 hologram?

whoa, great choice! I was planning to go Bond but can’t decide if Connery or Moore.

I spot panoramic glass roof! ?

From this video just posted by Rivian.

Not very flattering (at all)!

Can’t go wrong with either. As long as you don’t say Timothy Dalton there are no wrong answers!

You can get R2D2 who projects a second hologram of Princess Leia who will act as your lane departure warning.

With a dire message of impending doom, that the Rivian Republic will go under (as prophecised by Darth Musk) simply because it laid of 10% of an unknown percentage of entire workforce. And that it should consolidated all resistance to Normal. /s

I'm glad you're not in charge then. Can't even keep your threads straight.

Rivian's survival is directly related to the success of R2. Last time I checked, R2 was the topic of this thread.

Didn't realize you were elected thread Sheriff.

These guys can recreate a 3D object from a shadow:

All I could get AI to do is generate another shadow.

Looks like a car from the movies "CARS".....LOL

Also, if Rivian has any hope of surviving without a merger (paging GM - they have $$ Rivian needs and Rivian has EVs GM needs) they need to think about devoting some capacity at Normal to R2. Even if they get the Georgia plant operational, they will need a year to get it fully humming and they won't have the output capacity that they need to sell enough R2 vehicles to survive.

They need a change in strategy, and they need it now. If I were them, I would all but shut down the R1T line (they have very little demand signal for that right now) and I would focus on R2 at Normal.

I'm glad you're not in charge then. Can't even keep your threads straight.

Good thing at least one of these comments has aged well...I wonder which one...
