  1. Doug DeMuro Can't Stop Praising R2

    Fingers crossed this is temporary. And Rivian is playing the long game.

  2. Say It Ain’t So: No Bright Launch R2 Colors? (The Inevitable)

    That is depressing as hell.

  3. Say It Ain’t So: No Bright Launch R2 Colors? (The Inevitable)

    MAKE A COMPASS YELLOW VERSION, YOU COWARDS. ;-)

  4. R2 Lease Available at Launch (Report)

    I’ve never leased a car before but had been leaning towards doing it for R2 as a way to have one ASAP while being able to more easily move into a lidar-equipped one (and one with probably lots of kinks worked out) in a couple of years. At the very least I’ll be happy if the option is available...

    NGL, I love sh*t like this. Little touches that are unique, and thoughtful, and playful, and, somehow make things just a little bit better just by being. Something that doesn't need to exist for any real reason but that make you smile because they do. It's a tiny little part of why my next...

  7. R2 Launch Edition Price -- What are you expecting?

    $54,999

  8. 2026 Rivian R2 Specs & Reviews!! 300+ Mile Range, 10-80% Charge in 30 Min, 656 hp / 609 lb-ft, 0-60 mph in 3.6s, dimensions

    When Rivian first came out, I was in the “ugly headlights” camp. Took me a long time to warm up to them. Now that I have, though, I think they‘re distinctive and extremely attractive. I’ll bet many others will come around as well once they become more common. (And I love the way they give the...

    I know it’s all subjective and personal preference but I like the look of the R2 SO MUCH BETTER than the Model Y.

  10. R2 body shop almost ready! (factory video from RJ)

    Let’s go!

  11. US Government to Finalize Billions in Funding for Rivian Before Next Administration Takes Power - Financing expected as soon as Thursday

    https://www.ajc.com/news/business/6b-federal-loan-for-rivians-georgia-plant-finalized/2JCZJCZSLZFYRBP633IFNPD6LI/ FWIW, Atlanta Journal Constitution is now reporting it as a done deal.

  12. Purple Gen 2 Quad R1S Spotted. Debut seems likely soon...

    I'm not going to be able to get a Compass Yellow R2 but they'll make a purple R1S? Boo. :-(

  13. R2 walkthrough review by Doug DeMuro

    The fact that there’s no new information in this video didn’t stop me from luxuriating in every damn minute of it. Man, I can’t wait for the R2….

  14. Official: Scout EV SUV & Pickup debut w/ Gas Range Extender EREV, 4x4, BOF, Lockers, Sway Bar Disconnect -- All Specs, Wallpapers, Videos

    I completely agree and I'm sure Rivian does as well. R1 will be their flagship models and, assuming they continue to develop and support them, will probably sell better than Tesla Model S / X (look at what a tiny percentage of sales S and X are for Tesla now). But the future of the company is...

  15. Feature "loss" between R1S and R2?

    I got nothing against campers or camping. I just don't wanna do it. ;-) I don't want to sleep on the ground. I don't want to sleep in a bag. I don't want to sleep in a tent. I don't want to poo in the woods. I don't want to deal with bugs. I don't want to have to build a fire. Etc. etc. I've...
