It def will, but it just seems based on 4-5 years of empirical and annecdotal evidence that Tesla has this much better sorted than Rivian does.

Which is still too much honestly. I can leave my model 3 parked for 2 weeks and not lose a single percent.

Yes it very much has the light grey or silver plastic fascia on the bottom of the front and rear bumpers. Those are “black” on the R1 blackout packages. I really hate that those areas on the R2. They gotta be black!

It’s clearly some kind of typo because even the tires are listed as something different but it shows the exact same tires in both photos.

I really wish they would have eliminated the silver trim that the bottom of the front and rear bumpers. The R1's look so much better with the black out package.

Kind of agree here. The whole thing needs rebuilt from the ground up to compete with where the market is going, to lower costs (and cost of ownership) as well reliability (get rid of the air suspension).

I believe R2 will actually be NCMA - this has been stated with the new form factor.

It’s really quite beautiful, but I just don’t know if I can buy one until there’s a black wheel and possibly “black out” package. But miss on not having the black accents. But goodness, I love it.

I have been lurking for a Rivian for years, and all I want is a spring suspension for an R1t. Cut the complexity and failure points. Hell, I'd even buy a single motor RWD version as well.

How do we know this? Was it explicitly discussed somewhere? Or just rumor?

Legit will probably just buy the RWD model for this car anyways for the most range - I will likely never go off road and this will be a people mover and pavement princess.

Oh my god are we back in clutch disconnect hell with this one too? Why not an induction motor in the front?! (or the rear)

does your buddy on Discord happen to have an address by chance? Would love to go check it out and see the exact location!

I see the map showing a yellow diamond south of Pittsburgh, but thats it. How sure are we of a service center in this area? How do I see where it's been actually announced? I live 25 minutes north of that yellow diamond, which does not allow me to click on it or see any information at all.

No at the 40k price it was projected to start at. At that price is was NOT going to be a niche product. Its too bad its all turned out the way it did.

Would love to see just a single motor RWD variant. Simplify the hell out of this power train, increase range, etc. The complexity of this power train is bonkers to me.

That’s because it’s not a permanent magnet motor, and is an induction motor. Rivian uses a permanent magnet on both axles. Which is a mistake in my opinion.

How about they finally just get rid of having dual permanent magnet motors. Better yet, when is the RWD model coming out?

Is there a known software update coming to allow users to do this easily?
