  1. What Would Make You Dump Your R1 for an R2

    So I currently have a 2023 R1S QUAD which provides 835HP. I love that power. While the new R2 shown in yesterday's release videos is solid at 659HP; I really want something beefier. Something that comes closer to my QUAD. It seems like the spring "Launch" version of the R2 will be the max HP...
  2. 2026 Rivian R2 Specs & Reviews!! 300+ Mile Range, 10-80% Charge in 30 Min, 656 hp / 609 lb-ft, 0-60 mph in 3.6s, dimensions

    And from what I've seen so far the Tri motor won't be available till 2027. Any chance they would release the Tri motor during the fall R2 release with the Lidar launch?
  3. 2026 Rivian R2 Specs & Reviews!! 300+ Mile Range, 10-80% Charge in 30 Min, 656 hp / 609 lb-ft, 0-60 mph in 3.6s, dimensions

    So if the 659 HP R2 we are seeing in these release videos is actually the "Launch" version for the spring...will this have a software unlock option down the road to pay for greater HP? Can we unlock more HP? Or is 659 HP what we are stuck with moving forward?
  4. Six R2 Launch Colors Confirmed by tate16t?

    At minimum they should offer all the same colors they offer with the R1's now. The paint formulas are already there. Obviously I don't expect special edition colors like Borealis or Dune (even though those are super IMO). Just the current R1 colors plus the new version of Launch green. I...
  5. R2 Launching Twice: G2 v. G3, R1S Deals, etc.

    One question no can answer with any certainty at this point is what will the price differential (jump up in price) be between the Launch R2 with GEN 2 tech in the spring and the R2 with GEN 3 LIDAR tech in the fall. Is that a 3-5K difference in price? Or are we talking more than 5K...like 8-10K...
  6. R2 at LA Auto Show 2025 (photos & videos)

    So I was at the press day / opening of the Los Angeles auto show this past thursday with my company and I saw that gunmetal gray R2 in person. By the way, that gray color has an official name but I can't remember what it is. They told me the name but I was a little distracted by others around...
  7. Will R2 go on display at 2025 Los Angeles Auto Show?

    I'll be at the media/press day of the Los Angeles Auto Show next Thursday (11/20). Obviously Rivian will have a spot in the show but does anyone know if the R2 will be there? I would guess at minimum they would have the 2024 prototype they had last year. I seriously doubt they would show the...
  8. First R2 trim will be Dual Motor AWD Launch Edition. Production & delivery on track for first half 2026

    I totally understand going with a dual motor launch version to start. It's smart. But I was really hoping for the Tri-Motor as the launch version. Now it looks like that Tri-Motor won't be available until 2027. I'm seriously considering swapping my 2023 R1 Gen 1 Quad for an R2 if I can get...
  9. R2 TRI-MOTOR

    I think after September sales will fall significantly for R1's
  10. R2 TRI-MOTOR

    So...with tariffs going into place and the tax incentive going away it's going to get harder for Rivian overall. Just like it's going to get harder for all EV makers. I really think they need to get the R2's in play sooner than they planned. I really believe this new tariff situation will force...
  11. The newest Rivian demand lever? Fisker-Chase-Bank-Rivian Incentive (3/2025)

    Didn't realize you were here @Dark-Fx. I remember you from the Ocean forums. I agree with your comments. If it hadn't been for bad management and bad software; the Fisker Ocean would have been a great car. I sold my Ocean early last spring and I was never tied to Chase but I really wish that car...
  12. 2025 Rivian R1S versus 2023 R1S used??

    I bought a 2023 R1S Quad last year as a demo straight from Rivian itself with only 900 miles and I absolutely love the car. As-is the car has more than everything needed to have fun. As others have mentioned there will be some differences with the new GEN 2 versions in terms of self driving and...
  13. R2 TRI-MOTOR

    Yeah one of the reasons I would consider moving from an R1S to an R2 is the size. I just don't have the need for a 7 seater and it is a bit difficult on the wife to park in our garage. Or for her to get in and out of it. I was about to get running boards to help with this but since I might...
  14. R2 TRI-MOTOR

    Correct @Schroederhc. As I stated at the very start: "Yes, at this point it's very early and it's speculation. But it's reasonably fun to have a space to focus on the following as we get closer to 2026"... Not expecting anyone to have exact answers at this time. But some things Rivian is...
  15. R2 TRI-MOTOR

    Hope it plays out like that @Eric9610 . I'd go for it!
  16. R2 TRI-MOTOR

    Yeah @elektrode, I have a 2023 R1S Quad and if I leave that car for a Tri-motor R2 I'll probably never go QUAD again because the new QUADS are just way too expensive and honestly; 1000 HP is overkill even for someone like me who loves high HP. 800 HP is just right. Only way I would go QUAD...
  17. R2 TRI-MOTOR

    I don't know about everyone else but the only way I would jump from my current R1S Quad to an R2 is by way of a tri-motor version. I want to keep the 800+ HP I currently have and the estimates I've seen for the upcoming tri-motor R2 should be somewhere in that range. However at the moment of...
  18. 2024.51.0 spotted

    Does this "infotainment stability" include solid internet connectivity? I still can't get my internet to stay on when I start a drive. I have it for about 10-15 minutes and then it leaves and doesn't return. I'm paying for connect+ and I have LTE. Yet all internet dependent items in the car are...
  19. Any one regretted the R1S based on size?

    We just purchased our R1S Quad this year and the only thing that's been tough about the size is the height off the floor for my wife (She's 5.3). Even in the lowest setting it's tough for her to get in or out of the car. So I will take care of that by purchasing running boards soon. Otherwise...
  20. Internet Connectivity keeps disconnecting

    I've had my car at the Atlanta Service Center for almost 2 weeks now and they say they can't recreate the "no internet connectivity" issue. I know I'm not alone on this. Circling back to check with others who have dealt with this issue. Anyone going through this right now? Basically I turn on...
