Yes, for the R2 they have a much heftier battery, I forgot the exact specs but it should last longer. He also thought but wasn't 100% sure that it is somewhere in the passenger area.

Interesting to me as the 12Volt battery was not an issue with my 2013 Tesla (or my 2009 Tesla). He said the 12Volt issue was because of the amount of additional use of the battery vs an ICE. With an ICE, the battery is only used to start the car. With the Rivian it is used whenever your using...

I went today (Friday) and attended the walk around with Erik Glaser, Director of UX Design. The 30 minute talk and even the 30 minute Q&A were very interesting. He talked about a lot of things related to all their vehicles including design details such as the Haptic Touch, the 12Volt battery...

Gosh, I wouldn't have bought the R1S if it was as long as the R1T. It wouldn't fit in my garage and many parking spaces! A lot of buyers will almost never use the 3rd row but like a decent length for transporting stuff. I think the R1S is the perfect length!

I was looking in February and they were not compelling. Don't know about March.

One day later I went on 3 very short drives. Less than 5 miles, and less than 15 minutes. My phone was at 20% charge to start and ended up about 45%. Very satisfied so far. I replaced my former RhinoShield case that had too much of a raised edge to work with the charger with a Tocol case...

Haven't taken a photo yet. Tri R1S 20" All-Terrain Dark Wheel package Rivian Blue Paint Ocean Coast + Driftwood Interior From what I gather, any non-grey spectrum color is uncommon. Also the all terrain package is mostly ordered for the R1T. Maybe the all terrain with the white interior too...

I just got a new custom build from Rivian. Upon ordering, they do specify 8-12 weeks, mine took 11 weeks and 2 days. I started this thread as when I was waiting for my Rivian, I did a lot of searching to better estimate the wait time. I couldn't find any 2026 data. I was optimistic that it...

Hello folks. I'm a long term EV driver starting with the Tesla Roadster in 2009, so 17 years of driving EVs as my main vehicle. As an early adopter, I started blogging about the experience (completely unpaid) to encourage EV adoption. I was active for a while on the Tesla forums as 'owner'...

Hi Everyone. Just picked up my R1S yesterday. According to the delivery person, my vehicle was only one of two that currently have the new charger. Glad my delivery took so long (custom order). :) I haven't really tested the charging ability other than it seems to work. What I found out...
