I did a demo on an R1S last week. Someone from the location called to confirm the appointment the day of. Hopefully they’ll do the same with these and we can all make sure we’re driving there to demo an R2 and not an R1T. Seems like the site is just overloaded now and the app hasn’t caught up...
Just booked one for 3pm today. When I log into my Rivian account on the website, I see the confirmation. But the Rivian app shows it as an R1T demo drive.
Did a demo drive on an R1S today in St Augustine, FL today just to get a feel for the brand, build quality, tech, etc. I know the R2 is going to be different but the demos are probably going to start getting really backed up next week. Also just wanted to see some paint colors in person.

They let you pick when they happen? Wow. My Jeeps just do the updates whenever they want to. When you first turn the vehicle on, when you're on the highway, when you're about to park and shut it off. Good times.
Great news. AT&T cell service is way overloaded in my area. It always shows a full signal but nothing loads. My parents have a Model Y and they were visiting us a few weeks ago. Tesla must use AT&T service as well because everything was buffering.
Can Rivians do software updates over WiFi as well?
If you live in an area where AT&T doesn't get good service, is there a way to tether another carrier from your phone?
Length is about the same as my Wrangler if I include the spare tire on the back on the back of the Wrangler. R2 is lower so I'm good there. The R2 is listed at about 10 inches wider though? The graphic makes it seem like they aren't including the mirrors in the measurements.
Added. Looking at the R2 Performance w/ Launch Package and 20'' wheels. Still undecided on paint color but leaning towards Launch Green or Catalina Cove.
