Doesn't the R2 have a whole new OS, not based R1? It would make sense that some features are still pending.

So… complain to iHeart and convince them to serve their customers better? Must every problem be Rivian’s?
Yes. I have a cat with terrible aim and goes on the side of the litter box instead of in it.... RJ is going to hear about this.

Mine went outside of his box twice today. But he is old and unwell.

I found it interesting that the R2 does not have knee airbags. They should have kept those given they’re included in the R1 line.

I get cost saving arguments but why compromise on safety gear?

If the smaller car is engineered and tested/verified to prove it isn't necessary to meet the same safety standards, why add unnecessary cost? You're assuming it isn't as safe without it, without proof that is indeed true. IIHS report has yet to be released.
