Yep, got it last night. The main part was 10 A/B questions where they presented two configurations with prices and asked which one we liked and if we would actually buy that config if offered. Sadly, i wasn’t keen on buying any of the configs. Some of the configs went up to 375 miles range but were limited to a rear wheel drive model.

I received it as well, and those 10 A/B questions were, frankly, rediculous. I understand what they're attempting to do, but I also said no on every single one.

I want to understand what the levels of the vehicle are and a rough price range of each so I can make the best choice. Without foundational knowledge, there is no use in comparing two vehicles against each other, especially when we're looking at something that won't even arrive for another 2 years. Don't even get me started on comparing a $45k version against a $70k version. It's a hard maybe on both... except there was no option for it.

A better approach would be asking more pointed questions.

Was one of the questions “Are you sitting on an R2 preorder with the hopes of converting it to an R3/X preorder?”?

The answer would be yes for probably 90% of preorders ?
Same here, but I’ll reserve judgement until I see them in person. I need to be able to fit two large dogs in the back without them being on top of one another. I did get the survey via email.

I need "dog room" in the back also. No way will either 3 model will work. I was pleasantly surprised the 2 will (went to Normal event).

As much as I love the R3 I fear you are right. I have greyhounds and they are pretty tall and those long legs take up a lot of room when they lay down. I watched the video walk through of the R2 and R3 with Marques Brownlee and the president of Rivian just this morning and really liked what I saw of the R2.

Yep, I got mine and answered it. I think the most interesting fact was how many RWD vs AWD versions I got prompted to choose between. I didnt realize Rivian was considering a RWD only option.

For me, I just kept picking the lowest cost AWD option. At least for me, Range isnt a huge consideration.
