Rivian R2 communication desert?

[Toytruckmike]

Ha! Thanks for the kind replies all. I was actually thinking more of a general communication on Rivian itself rather than updates on the R2 specifically.
But, I understand the overall point. They are concentrating on getting their business going, which I am glad for and wishing them success.
Just wanted to make sure that I wasn't missing anything if they were sending stuff out.
Cheers!

I get you, but it appears that most of the emails going out right now are really for owners. They've mostly been about software updates or the NACS adapter.

Rivian appears to be on an informal tour with the R2. I'm looking forward to seeing it in Denver sometime in July at an EV festival. Fingers crossed we get to see the R3 as well.

I'm incredibly disappointed at the lack of communication about my R2 reservations.

What more do you want to know?. They have said they are not going to start building them until late 2025 or early 2026.

What do you want them to tell you "Thanks for your order, you will get your R2 in 2-1/2 years". Then the next month, "Thanks for your order, still 2-1/2 years out".

I got an email thanking me and since we are R1T owners, we will be getting ours before those that aren't. No time frame as to when.

You simply have to sign up to receive their communications.

as my wife would say "calm your tits"

give them till 2025 to say anything before thinking they owe an update. it's not slated until 2026, having updates for the 2 year wait does nothing good for the company, causes anxiety only

Exactly, I think we will hear rumors of production starting around this time.

I am more interested in the configurations.

I made a R2 reservation the day after the intro, and received that 1 email. But nothing since then.
Has anyone else heard from Rivian? Seems like they would have a monthly company email or something just to keep us engaged. Just curious.

I'm not expecting any meaningful updates from Rivian for at least 18 months. They'll continue to travel the country with their prototypes if you want to see them.

Heh. Communication Desert is right…. They’re touring the R2 and R3 protypes around to various Rivian locations, but it seems that their schedule is double top secret. They’re currently in Denver. They were there all last week and most or all of the prior week at the Denver space and might still be there. They will be at the Denver Electrify Expo this weekend, July 13 & 14, but have to buy tickets and there will be a lot more people looking at them.

Saw them at the showroom space, along with a Gen 2 R1T, but all we could do is look. Couldn’t open any doors or look inside or get close enough to touch.….

Rivian never sent out any notices that they were doing all this. Did get an email Monday that they will be at the expo this weekend. That’s it.

Rivian will have no shortage of communication about the R2 over the next few years as the prep to build a factory line to build the vehicle and eventually deliver it.

But remember you signed up for a vehicle that doesn't exist in even a final production ready form yet. It's still just basically a concept car at this point.

It's difficult to keep up excitement for a few years while you wait. Just look at the threads from those of us who reserved an R1 back in 2018 and 2019 and got the in 2022 or 2023. A lot of people were constantly losing their minds with excitement, anxiety, despair and then more excitement!

Bro, they are literally focused on surviving until then. You won't hear anything for another 12 months.

You didn't get the email about the R2 and R3 being at the Denver Spaces on June 29th? You should have gotten that one. I also got the recent one about the Electrify Expo.

No, didn’t get it. Rivian guys asked me the same thing. But it seems lots of people don’t get these emails and one theory is distance from the service center. I’m not in Denver and outside of Denver their system seems to target certain specific zip codes, or ignore certain ones. I never get any emails about events or happenings at the Denver space even though I’m less than 20 minutes away if traffic cooperates.
