The comments section on that Reddit post are all you need to know about how the sales are going to be.

On your point about the R2 and 4Runner, it's interesting because prior to preordering my R1T I was looking at a 4Runner/Tacoma. Tacoma interior was a bit too small for me, but the 4Runner hit the mark, but the engine at the time was almost 10 years old. When I happened across a Rivian article...

I think they were just a couple extra pieces I brought with me just in case and just put them against the back of the cab before loading. I ended up cutting a couple rips about 19" high x 52" for the sides of the bed any time I'm hauling gravel, makes it easier to keep the tonneau track clean...

Granted dumping a ton of rocks into the bed of a pickup sounds extreme, it can be done without damaging the truck. The perceived "precious" nature of an R1T hasn't stopped me from using the truck as I need to. Beyond the photos i've posted, i've also hauled road base, rounds of firewood, towed...

You know what kinda sucks... As an R1T owner, I'm a bit offended by it's poor sales. It's the best driving platform Rivian has, is extremely versatile and well thought out, Gear tunnel alone is epic. I understand the popularity of the R1S, but even as a family, having lived with and camped with...

I've wondered how exactly Scout was planning to generate enough power given the size of the EREV engine they had placed in the rear, under the bed of the truck. Harvester Scout variant to me always seemed like a small 50kW generator in the rear, which might be enough to give you some added...

Of the videos I've watched today, the Carwow video was the best and really gets to the feel of driving the R2, the rest were more focused on trim and interior exterior.

The real meat was this portion of the CarWow video. Rivian said they still have some BMS work to do on the charging side, but it will achieve a peak of 240kW. I've included screenshots of the preproduction charging curve 20-83%, which peaked at 190kW, before ramping down.

Having watched MKB, Doug, and Jerry Rig videos, now. I'm impressed, more so than I thought I would be. Two draw backs, and they're minor. First is the removal of the pop out rear windows, that was a nice throwback to some of the vehicles of my childhood. Second is no vents in the rear cargo...

I really hope this means they have learned and are able to maintain optimal charging and cabin cooling in 30c temps without something derating.

Currently we have no need for a second vehicle, so in spite of my R2 reservation, I have no issue waiting for the LiDAR, new compute platform, dual motor AWD version. It won't replace our R1T, just compliment it. If the above works out to be 70-75k cdn (R2 is meant to start at 65k in Canada)...

I swear it's due to phone power saving settings not pinging the Rivian with enough frequency. Same Gen 1 S20+, S20, and now an S25 Edge. No issues with any unless I power save drastically.

So probably no issue?

Almost. but you can hear them hitting while inside the cab. The video of the rear, if you watch it carefully you can see how the chains start to pull away from the middle of the tire most visible toward the front of the tire just before it makes contact with the ground. While I wanted them for...

Be careful. I bought a set of Super Z8's and returned them. They are great in the snow, but Rivians have a surprisingly tight wheel well, and above 20 kph, in all drive modes (Edit, and heights), they come in contact with the forward and rear liners. The photo with my hand there and chains...

This has been touched on before, all you have to do to enable ultra low, non existent regen is fully charge and cold soak your battery. 😉❄️

Think of R2 reveal as a showcase of what will come to R1 as we get closer to it's launch. Things like weather forecasts, night vision camp mode, we now have the drivers screen navigation that was shown, the energy app... the list goes on. Wassym also mentioned via a Reddit chat that those things...

I have a Kuat NV 2.0 for my R1T, and the Rivian tailgate pad. The Kuat works fine on an R1S, but in the T, you can't drop the tailgate unless you have the swing arm accessory. So I only really use it when i need the bed for longer camping/road trips. With that, you can get a 1Up hitch rack on...

I watched this from TFL the other day, and was surprised by the results.also decent little test loop they did putting them through different conditions etc. I'll probably pick up a set of the K&K's for my truck next year, this one is already a write off due to poor snow.
