The GOAT of Rivian R2 reviews IS COMING!

[RivianTrackr]

Did you all compare 0-60 and 1/4 mile with the R2 and MYP?

Yes! Kyle should have a video on that soon, I don't recall but MYP did great from 0-60 and then R2 kicked butt the rest of the way defeating the Model Y.

It does pull HARD from ~ 35/40-90 for sure. I would say a current PLAID S would do better than the MYP, but for an “SUV” in this class, it’s silly torque power.

I actually ended up bailing on that because I actually started getting sick... I am not desigend for that haha

Have you been in a Plaid. It would pull a train length on the R2 from 60mph pull. The R2 feels a little slower than my Highland M3P from 50 but considering its an SUV, thats pretty good. Of course anything Tri-motor is in another league probably (including the R1).

Mildly disappointing but I don't want any other car, so just waiting on a forest green cloud from the coast so I can order

Oh, and to be clear, if we were still doing a 2nd vehicle replacement, it would be very high on the list, since that over the past couple of decades has been our "local", knockaround, chores, daily use, entering into the unknown (in terms of parking and whatnot).

The lease numbers were terrible, but that was definitely secondary to the vehicle itself. Our situation just changed so much, we're bailing on having a second vehicle (and replacement for the primary/only ride is a different action )

I guess that's my verbose way of saying, I totally dig on the R2, the available range wouldn't really factor into it for us It's plenty.

More good stuff

Just read an Edmunds test of the 2026 Toyota BZ.

They should test the R2 using their protocol.

BTW: I have been trying to get my wife to part with her 2012 Prius V for a BEV. She is not a SUV fan, so no R2. She likes the BZ.

0-60 times and Track Times at the new North Carolina Track

“Track times”

Interesting how similar the performance was between launch mode and sport mode without it. I'd like to see a sw update to improve the relatively sluggish initial acceleration from a stop.

I suspect it's at least partly their way of keeping 609 ft-lbs under 5000lbs of mass from shredding the shoes.

Won't this be a hardware update with trimotor R2?

Who knows as a trimotor is purely speculative.

Doesn’t the newest SW update introduce the LAUNCH mode? (Maybe they call it rally) that unlocks the apparent 3.4-3.6 0-60 launch? that seems pretty tight.
