Is this the R2 spotted in the wild?

Dunno if this was posted earlier in the thread but here's a zoomed out version of the photo.

I have a lot of questions about this photo, none of which actually have to do with the 2 vehicles. There is definitely something suspicious happening here.

Plausible. Every single time I visited DTLA (all for car shoots), the entire city smelled like an urinal.

I saw a white Rivian here in the OC that looked small but when I got closer it said R1S so I don’t know.

Not to mention the shape shifting roof in the rear.

Late to the party, but here are my observations of this vehicle..

The shorter roof line (front to rear), no quarter window in the rear doors, different front eye brow light, different rims, rear tail lights being slightly lower than the quarter panel contour and slightly thinner, distance from the rear wheel to the rear of the vehicle, smaller front & rear doors, door mirror mounting points are where the front door quarter glass would be, C-Pillar emblems missing...

Yea, I would have to say thats an R2

The R1S has been compared to the Jeep Grand Wagoneer...

This R2 reminds me A LOT of a Jeep Grand Cherokee L

Put your tinfoil hats in the recycling bin folks. Image is not fake. It's a production crew with RAN as non-functioning props atop a parking structure in DTLA.

Unless the buildings in the background are props, the trees shrunk and the median markings in the road have been re-done then I'm not sure that's the correct location. Basing this on the arrow markings in the parking lot, the only possible direction would be looking south-west. This also would jive with what someone else said because public works is immediately north. Something is fishy about the image. Tin foil hat back on...

Location is correct. Google maps streetview is not most current. C'mon people. Enough with the tinfoil.

So, the R1S is 77 inches tall, the person in front of the R1S is closer to the camera, so will appear to be bigger but he/she is not as tall as the R1S, so let's say they are an even 6'. The 'R2' is closer still to the camera so would appear taller, yet it hits the person at just about waist level. Now, I get that it is a downward shot; however the distance between the person and the 'R2' can't be more than a few feet minimizing that distortion. Heck, let's say that the person is only 5' 8" tall. So, based on this, I would guess this "R2" is ~ 42-48" tall or a bit shorter than a Porsche 911. Seems legit to me! (That's gonna be one aerodynamic ride! )

There is a space between the white "R2" and the green R1S (note how the white vehicle is parked in front of the RAN dispenser instead of behind as it would normally be), so that person is more than a few feet behind the "R2".

It's not a high quality picture, but I don't think it is a fake.

My vote is its the new R2
Looks to me like the back of the roof has the airfoil thing like an R1T
Also I really wonder if this will come with the CCS or whatever they call the Tesla plug

Obviously it's a set for a new sci-fi mashup series...

Google earth time stamp is 2022... Google street view shows the same background as of Jan 2023.

So those old looking buildings with mold on them are new? Sounds like you're the one with the tin foil hat. Anyone in LA wanting to take a drive down to Pico Blvd... We can quickly confirm that those buildings in the background don't exist.

I would watch that.
