Hello from a prospective R3 buyer!

[michelin]

I've been owning EVs for a few years now - started with a Chevy Volt (with a detour via the Cruze - TL;DR GM did not want to do a 2-year lease on a Volt, and when you were on a work visa with 3 year stints the 3-year lease is too long), moved to the Bolt when we were expecting a kid, and now the Kia EV6.

I've been a Rivian shareholder for a while - long enough that my investments are still under even after the stock shot up 50%+ this week! - and purchased more stock after that (terrible timing, been meaning to buy more earlier but still sorting out the pile of work I have after a lot of work travel) - the current R1{S,T} are too big for me, but I'm watching the upcoming R3 (and Lucid's midsized 3rd vehicle) with interest, as well as the BMW Neue Klasse lineup, for our next cars.

Thought I should join this forum and start getting a feel of both how the car is like and what's the owner community is like before things get too serious

Welcome! Asking as someone that would love an R3 before an R2, is there a reason you skipped the R2 as an option?

Dammit! You told me you burned that photo of us! (Last time someone talks me in to wearing a tie for a group photo….)

I said "tie required" - I just never said it would make up 50% of your uniform for the photo ?‍

Adds a new meaning to a “close” group of friends.

Check out Volvo too.

You’ll have plenty of insight through here by the time the R3 is released!

Somebody already gave you the primer about whips and chains and all that, right?

Thank you! Our EV6 is already as big as we need right now - and once we no longer need to fit a car seat and bring a stroller I'd rather pick a smaller vehicle next time.
