  1. R2 vs 1980s Golf MK1 size comparison

    This is the size comparison I have been waiting for.
  2. Rally-Inspired White Wheels on R1S

    Love white wheels, but struggling with the cream/sand paint contrast on the R1. Not similar/dis-similar enough for my liking. Sexy wheels though!
  3. R2's A/C performance in really hot weather?

    So it "works". Great! What about the sound inside and outside of the cabin? How is the vibration in the steering wheel or pedals? My Gen1 R1S has a jet engine for the AC.
  4. Poll: Should Rivian Consider a 3-row R2 model?

    Minivan with the highest ground clearance is 6.9" (Sienna), only two with AWD (Sienna and certain Pacifica trims), and most offer around 3500 for towing. While very few families that need more than 5 seats are actually off roading, many absolutely value the above features especially for their...
  5. Service Experience, Gen1 vs Gen2 Efficiency and R2 Sighting

    Good to hear that sport "fixed" it for you, as I suspected it might. I kept in AP because I was most interested in efficiency and it was very significant for my case. I could probably get used to the AP feel on the Gen2, it was just surprising how different it was. Ride quality is different...
  6. Service Experience, Gen1 vs Gen2 Efficiency and R2 Sighting

    I should've taken a photo, but it got hit by a rock on the highway in the bottom left corner and the point of impact caused a very large bullseye and by the time my wife got home it went the entire way across the driver view up to the rearview mirror. Strongly recommend getting it...
  7. Poll: Should Rivian Consider a 3-row R2 model?

    Personally, I would like to see the R1S with captains chairs and then 3 in the back to still support 7 passengers.
  8. 1 Month Update: R2 Three Day Ownership Review. Comparison to R1T. Efficiency and Range data!

    Gear Guard can already set to be deactivated at home on the R1S and R1T so I wouldn't expect them to remove that from the R2. And yes on COP.
  9. Recent Plug-and-Charge Problems at Tesla Superchargers

    Hold up. I can just drive up to a supercharger, hook up my adapter, plug it into my Rivian and it should start charging? I've always used the Tesla app to initiate charge, have I been missing this feature and is there anything special I need to do in order to use it?
  10. R2 accelerator vs. R1

    If you have driven both and are comparing, please indicate whether you are comparing a Gen1 or Gen2 R1. I noticed the Gen2 required a lot more force than my Gen1. Personally I love 1-pedal and wouldn't trade it for anything.
  11. 1 Month Update: R2 Three Day Ownership Review. Comparison to R1T. Efficiency and Range data!

    Reclining seat ≠ adjustable headrest The post you quoted said "adjustable recline" on rear seats and you then state the front does not either which is 100% incorrect. Simply correcting the bad information, though you are correct that the front headrests are not adjustable.
  12. Will the $45k Rivian R2 actually happen?

    Price absolutely matters for a lot of buyers, although many of those people probably aren't on this forum. That said, I'm not convinced $45k is low enough to reach that broader market anyways. I've had several friends who had zero interest in EVs suddenly get excited about the Slate lineup...
  13. 1 Month Update: R2 Three Day Ownership Review. Comparison to R1T. Efficiency and Range data!

    Maybe your mind is still stuck on the headrest, but the front (IE driver and shotgun seat) absolutely can adjust the recline. Not sure I've seen a vehicle built in the last 50 years that wasn't adjustable.
