  1. Why stock getting hammered last few days?

    I would like to see actual examples of instances where anyone at Rivian said R2 would get them to positive territory before 2028. As I recall, they only said it is the model line that would get them there. They never said when.
  2. Front Sensors Off with 2026.15.01 update

    Why? There is no harm in doing hard resets. The ability to do it is there for a reason. And if you contacted support they would have you try it first.

    Good thing you have internet and on this site: https://www.rivianforums.com/forum/threads/golf-clubs-fit-in-r2-frunk-and-cargo-area-my-tested-photos-from-demo-drive.59959/
  4. Maxtrax Jaxbase Plate

    I just stumbled into a new, or at least new-to-me, jack pad from Maxtrax. It's designed to mate with their Mk2, XTREME or Lite traction boards, and from a stable platform for jacks. It has a indentation for the Hi-Lift jack's rectangular footprint, which should also work with some bottle jacks...

    A few reviews I skimmed said the same thing about the halos... that it will probablly take some learning to "click" without accidentally rotate at the same time. Just from looking at images, this accidental rotation could probably be avoided if your hands are being enough that you brace the...
  7. Accidentally canceled reservation instead of demo drive!!

    On the bright side... interest rates are still shit if you were to finance purchase. And you get to avoid any yet-to-be-known early production jitters. And you benefit from all of fixes/iterations for issues discovered by all those ahead of you.

    I think the charger issue won't ever be put to bed completely, because there are just too many different makes of phones and phone cases. However, with the inclusion of magnets, it should work for most people using the most popular phones/cases, that are made to Magsafe or Qi2 specs. Those who...

    Like among the different R2 trims? Those manning the demo are just generalists and not fully briefed on product plans. Or, personally not vested enough to look into it and be knowledgeable beyond what's directly in front of them (work-wise). You have to remember, employees are just like anyone...

    Interesting. Multiple reviews out saying the sound system is a unenthusiastic "good". One goes further, saying there are no speakers in the doors and the positive trade-off from that is less road noise and larger space for large water bottles. Grab handles... It's not as large or tall as the...
  11. Stripped TP55 Bolt - how to extract?

    That is what Goat Fabrication ships every one of their sliders with. If that's not what you're installing, and the hex bolts are compatible... I don't see why not.
  12. R2 Owner's Manual Guide posted!

    TBH, I wouldn't mind having that job. Structured. Predictable. And based on facts rather than arbitrary opinion.

    When I got my R1T, first EV, I was told by the delivery guide to use low regen. Was told the same thing by First Mile demo guide months prior. For me, it was bad advice. I found myself always second guessing if it was going to come to a stop in time and consistently manually braking too soon or...

    You will get used to it. And with a heavier car, with more momentum once at speed, stronger regen is a plus not a negative. It's also dialed back in snow mode, to mitigate chance of skidding. Plus, in the R2 you are sitting higher (and more upright) than in the MY and further from center of...
  15. Stripped TP55 Bolt - how to extract?

    Before you resort to permanently alter the factory bolt... I would first heat the offending fastener with a soldering pencil to soften any thread locker it may have. Then slip the closest size extractor on to the bolt head. 36 mm is what's been mentioned in this thread. You might even try a...
