This reminds me a lot of the R1 release and Rivian doing a poor job of setting expectations and relatively poor communication.
They issued a launch date. They know their reservation backlog. They know their current production capability. Some sort of update should have been given to all...
We got this. R1 owner. Two R2 reservations on launch day.
As with the R1’s it sounds like location will play heavily into initial R2 deliveries. (From our discussion today at the Sterling SC)
We’ll let you know when you can expect your order invite by the end of June, so keep an eye on your inbox.
As others have stated Rivian will provide a front plate mount. Our front plate is mounted to our tow hook. I can’t recall which brand we purchased, but there are several mounts available. It’s been our our truck for 3yrs without any issues.
It will likely work very similar to the original R1 release. We were initially given a 6 month delivery window and that would then shift based on configurations and actual orders. That six months eventually went to a 90-day estimate.
We went from First Half 24 to getting our R1T at the end of...
We’re in Alexandria. We had a mobile service last week and I asked the techs about the R2. They told me neither Gaithersburg nor Sterling has seen one yet. These mobile techs were out of Gaithersburg. They also told me the regional service center manager was supposed to get one this week, but...
G1 here. Is anyone having issues with the videos that play on the screens not stopping when you lock the truck and walk away? At work today, went to my truck at lunch and the screens were still going with the music. I’ve now turned off Halloween mode.
I also tried this at home and left the...
This. I think this is actually relatively new from a software update as our R1T did not used to do this.
We just go in and turn the re-circulation back on and this fixes the problem.
It literally says under the score:
"Owners' evaluation of the vehicle's design, performance, comfort, functionality, safety, and technology, comprise this rating. Newer and recently-redesigned vehicles tend to score better."

Here's the current Rivian charging map. They put "Destination" chargers, not RAN near many parks. These are L2 chargers. But they're not everywhere.

We did use the RAN in Front Royal and Waynesboro and they worked flawlessly.
We just wrapped up a multi-day trip to New River Gorge National Park and Preserve in West Virginia. We had avoided this trip in the past due to the lack of L3 charging. There is a Tesla supercharger in Beckley, but it's not open to non Teslas. The next closest high speed charger is 50+ miles...
For the record that is a closed FB group.
Regarding Sterling, new service center will be at 42750 Trade W Dr, Sterling, VA 20166
Permits were pulled last October. Feel free to track the progress on Loundon Country’s permit system. I’d expect a soft opening this summer.
I’m not going to try to convince you one way or the other. I’ll speak from my experience.
We have an LE R1T, early VIN, and we’ve had it since Dec 2022. It has been the best vehicle we’ve ever owned. (We had two Porsche Macan’s, a Grand Cherokee and Range Rover before). The power and capability...
