I am in the camp that we do not have a) a controlled set of test data to draw conclusions from; b) the sample size is STILL way too small to draw any meaningful conclusions from; and c) almost all of these vehicles being used for this comparison are still within their break in phase. On the...

Thank you for making this video and for providing the data points. This is an encouraging result, as most of the talk on this forum has been pretty negative when it comes to the R2's range on a road trip. I can't wait to get mine out for its maiden road trip, which is looking like it will be a...

Do you not see the pictures on this thread or do any of your own research? They do provide separate MPGe figures for city and highway, as well as the combined figure. For the R2 114 MPGe - city 96 MPGe - highway 105 MPGe - combined Effectively, the highway figure equates to roughly 300 miles...

Thank you for sharing this. Setting the software glitch aside, this is encouraging info to me. Getting 2.66 mi/kWh @ 66mph average is decent. The charging speeds looked decent as well. I would love to see both of those be a little better, but they are sufficient. What was the speed limit along...

Completely fair points. RJ shouldn’t be touting the efficiency being as good as the Model Y when it clearly is not. I’m also skeptical of the UHF and its future point to point capabilities. Fortunately for me, those features are not high on my priority list.

This! I have no doubt the Model Y is more efficient and can road trip faster on your typical road trips. But the difference in time is negligible for most trips. The vast majority of my road trips are 300 miles or less. The difference in the MY and R2 will be indistinguishable on trips that...

Because the general public isn’t very bright, and this would amount to information overload. It would overwhelm the average person and they would be clamoring to go back to a single comparable figure across all vehicles.

Truly depends on where you live and how much you drive. For me, the difference is negligible. I drive less than 10,000 miles per year and our energy rates are just under $0.13 per kWh. But let’s say I drove 12,000 and the R2 got 3.0 mi/kWh. That would be 4,000 kWh for the year at $0.13 = $520...

I get it, but it’s comical to me. A 5 minute charging stop (if needed) in each direction is a deal breaker? I’ll happily spend 5-10 less minutes with family (especially if it’s the in-laws!).

Agreed. I’ve said this before, but I have a Mach e with the glass roof in Vegas and the sun/heat has never been an issue. I chose not to tint that vehicle on the roof or windshield. Despite that, I have chosen to tint both the roof and the windshield of the R2 even if it only saves a degree or...

For what it’s worth, I dropped off my R2 on Monday for PPF, ceramic coating and tinting. I brought up the concern to the guy at the shop about the potential for the roof to crack with tint. He said he’s heard people debate this and has been asked about it many times, but said their shop has...

Thank you but I adjusted the settings to my liking, with 12% arrival. I actually think the biggest portion of the difference could be that the total time is accounting for the 1 hour time change, so realistically it should be 9 hours 41 minutes actual trip time and not 10 hours 41 minutes as...

I haven’t used the navigation in the R2 since getting it last week. I need to test it out on a long drive. However, out of curiosity I just opened the Rivian app and planned a 600 mile trip from Vegas to New Mexico. The route it planned was 10 hours and 41 minutes with 4 charging stops. I know...

I would be happy to. It will be a little while before we get together again. But for now, the attached photo shows small changes my buddy made to the default setting.

I’ll preface that I am not an audiophile. I can’t tell the difference in levels of quality of good systems, but I can tell when something is bad. The system sounds good to me. Someone here on the forums had pointed out that you can mess with the EQ settings and customize everything. So I had a...
