R2
Yes that is what RIVIAN estimated

https://insideevs.com/news/792230/rivian-r2-epa-range-efficiency/
That was the number Rivian had estimated EPA testing would show. The actual test report show 335.
Ok so you're saying we have 3 metrics here?

Rivian estimated
EPA estimated
Rivian EPA estimated

I am familiar with the first two for all OEM's, as they give you their own estimate before EPA testing. That is why the R2 standard says "345 miles estimated range" currently as it has not been EPA tested yet. What am I not familiar with is it saying "330 miles EPA estimate" and that not being the EPA estimate. OEM's don't put "EPA estimate" unless that is the EPA estimate from what I've seen. They omit the word "EPA" just like how the standard R2 is currently listed when it has not been EPA tested yet.

Edit: I found the EPA document. So it seems what I stated above is correct, there are 3 distinct metrics :headbang:
