  1. Is R2 base color now Glacier White?

    No Esker Silver is still the base free color. When R2 debuted it was the Glacier White.
  2. Self driving update: Gen 2 and Gen 3 Autonomy on R2 should be similar for a "couple of years"

    Nah, lets not get too crazy here and lets no forgot about Rivian marketing that RAP1 is designed for+7 years of hardware ceiling/software updating. Fingers cross the rest of the car is as reliable as the hardware processing abilities.
  3. Self driving update: Gen 2 and Gen 3 Autonomy on R2 should be similar for a "couple of years"

    Yeap! Exactly!!, They are glazing over it to sell as much of the launch as possible and reduce people saying, “I will wait”. Given we drive our cars until the wheels fall off (8-10yrs) we will want to have as much processing/ hardware /software updating ceiling as possible. We will wait until...
  4. Self driving update: Gen 2 and Gen 3 Autonomy on R2 should be similar for a "couple of years"

    Let’s not forget about the new RAP1 chip to come in R2 early next year. That will have 800tops per chip than the current 200top launch chip.
  5. Will the R2 come with the option of the Darkout Package?

    I would not be surprised if they do later on as I have seen multiple MVB's with dark 20's and 21's. Also interesting the new cross bars already come dark. I would assume the same dark out of the rear letters and front/rear underbody trim & tow hooks that are presently grey/silver. Remember a...
  6. Will R2 come with portable charger?

    Not for free. You will have to buy according to your needs. The level 1 is $400.
  7. What R2 accessories are you researching?

    Very Cool! Nice work. Too bad Rivian doesn't make the rear trunk cover a foldable table like the old Honda-CRV's
  8. R2 VINs up to 503 (at least) now

    If we use April 22's official saleable launch production start, it is about 25-30 a day so far for just the 1st shift currently running. I am sure they will ramp it up further and I believe a 2nd shift starts in the late summer/early fall.
  9. Is this Esker Silver? - Video

    Yah, videos will show true color over photos. Those are the aero wheels and should be available upon configuration opening. If you are seeking a Launch Edition, Rivian Trackr does a great job capturing what will & Will not initially be available in this article...
  10. Thoughts from people who have seen the R2 in person.

    I have seen it at the past Chicago Auto Show and then both Chicago Block parties. I think it is absolutely perfect for the cost and conditions compared to the R1 line. Rivian team did an amazing job. I can not wait to get my hands on one. People need to understand that this is a lower cost...
  11. Is this Esker Silver? - Video

    Yes this is! they took the March 2024 debut day White R2 and repainted it to the new color. They also moved the charge port door to the final location. This car is probably the only one that has the power rear popout windows along with a bunch of other stuff we are not seeing the the final...
  12. Chicago Block Party Photos - Half Moon Grey R2

    you would have to buy the R2 in your name, then sell it to whomever wants it. Otherwise, In respect to those who do want to buy and own while waiting in line to do so, I would just give up the reservation spot if you don’t want the R2.
  13. Only 2 Color Options For R2 Launch Edition?

    All colors available. Esker Silver is free. Launch green will be additional $$ as with the other colors that are not Esker Silver. This is not new, even for R1
  14. Am I the only one who thinks anything less than 400mi of range is legacy at this point?

    I disagree, you will easily see similar % impact on ice in winter vs summer.
