  1. June 9 - R2 order invites, first customer deliveries and demo drives begin!

    My guess is once a week. They need to move about 4k cars a month to hit the 26k by EOY. That’s a lot of cars for a small brand.
  2. Rival: 2026 BMW iX3 reviews are impressive... R2 has its work cut out

    After sitting in both I can tell you each car is distinctly their brands in a very good way. The packaging on the Rivian has more space and feels much larger inside. The BMW feels smaller and sportier. I can’t explain how impressive the digital bar screen is in the BMW. Super clear and very easy...
  3. Rival: 2026 BMW iX3 reviews are impressive... R2 has its work cut out

    So I just got to sit in and demo the iX3! I was not allowed to take any pictures since it was the training car for BMW. All the badges were covered up. The car is very very impressive in person. The exterior looks amazing in person. The interior is phenomenal and the new display configuration...
  4. R2 non-powered frunk is a mistake?

    The one thing I use more than any other storage on my R1T is the passthrough storage. Use this exclusively daily for 98% of what I do.
  5. R2 non-powered frunk is a mistake?

    In the history of owning my S and T I have maybe used the frunk 10 times in 3 years. It does suck that it's not powered but at the end of the day I do like the compromise.
  6. Rival: 2026 BMW iX3 reviews are impressive... R2 has its work cut out

    Not surprising as it uses the 2 cycle test vs the 5 cycle test. Expect the R2 to achieve less range than rated.
  7. Which R2 wheel size is everyone getting?

    I agree, a lot of R2 will be sold, more than the R1, but models with 21's will be = or less than the current R1 sales were. The dominant models that will sell in volume on the R2 all come standard with 19's or 20's. Only the performance and maybe the Tri will come with 21's. The P models will...
  8. R1T Trade in Value vs R2 Performance Price

    I think you would be surprised on the comp to the R1S. Really the only loss is about 1/2 a foot to the cargo area. The rear seat is significantly larger than the T and I think about 15% more room than the S.
  9. R1T Trade in Value vs R2 Performance Price

    Just checked to see what my 2023 R1T QM would net and got a quote from Rivian for $49,750. Residual is $55k. Just checked Carvana and it came back $500 less in value.
  10. Which R2 wheel size is everyone getting?

    Currently on the R1 you can only update tire size based on OEM offerings.
  11. Which R2 wheel size is everyone getting?

    lol ill admit I was off by 6 months. Much closer than an available alternative 21 tire will be. Something you can't admit... Anyone getting the 21 should be prepared for at min 2 year wait for an alternative. Also, strange how everyone disregards that all review cars had 20's. The ride with...
  12. June 9 - R2 order invites, first customer deliveries and demo drives begin!

    What's funny is I have friends that put a deposit 2 months ago and they want a LE... I believe they will get one in Nov. I suspect the number of people willing to take what's currently available to be about 20k total units.
  13. Which R2 wheel size is everyone getting?

    It still does not matter since it took over 3 years for alternate tire options on the 21's to exist. That was my point. I got my R1T in Dec of 23 and no option was out at that time. I got My R1S in May of 24 and still no tire option, this is why I went with 22's on the S. I am just saying...
  14. Which R2 wheel size is everyone getting?

    Frist R1T deliveries were in 22. R1S was late 23-24
