R3 Reveal Shocks!!! 😱

[TollKeeper]

I think it's whatever is going on right here that's messing with me on the looks:

I see this... and all I can think about is this..

Jeez! Lada Niva all the way...but in modern skin. The Adventure theme of Rivian continues to roll. It looks ready to attack whatever hills or obstacles you throw at it...very short overhangs indeed.

I like the R3 fine. It's sort of retro. I'm not sure I would go for it. One thing nobody has mentioned is the windows don't appear to have frames.

reminds me of a bigger version of a VW Rabbit.

Will be interesting to see the final specs - should be super fast and efficient.

Edit: looks like somebody else thought it looks like a Rabbit too .

Honestly I don't know if it's just me but the R3 and R3X headlights look really wonky, might be a product of the double-jointed back glass (what is is called?)

Omg omg who saw that coming?!!

No kidding, how do you keep a secret like that in todays world?

And wait, there's more, R3X

I love that color

I hope it looks better in person

I concur. Not the best looking car I've ever seen. Reminds me of 80's hatchbacks with wheels that are 3 sizes too big.

Caught me off guard! Does this mean my R2 reservation will give me the option of getting an R3 in 2026?

I reserved the R2, but now I would be more interested in the R3X. Looks like a ralley Rabbit! Curious if we can change over reservation as well.

Bike rack up close. Looks like a custom way of mounting.

Looks at the gauge cluster with a front camera overlaid with gauges.

I have a concern about the rear light. Did the feds remove the requirement for a rear facing red light to remain on a fixed, non-movable portion of the body? Or did I miss Rivian doing something clever when the hatch opens?
