Interesting that you can't get the tow package on the RWD standard (you have to go to AWD to get the tow package). I would love to know if the tow package can be installed later on if you don't configure it initially (more from a used market/resale consideration).

Also, for Palo Alto, you've got to love the three different start times depending on which webpage you're on. Rivian Events site = 11am. RSVP site showing all three days = 9am. Actual RSVP site = 10am.

I did the same thing and got the same error message.

Interesting...I RSVP'd when they didn't have specific dates (just a general date range from May 15-17). They said more details to come, but haven't gotten anything since, and I can't RSVP again, so 🤷‍♂️

For 2) this functionality isn't currently on the R1S, but it's something I've been wanting for years and seems like something they should be able to enable through a software update.

Did someone steal the "1" off your tailgate badge? 😁

I'd guess that the AWD version of the Highlander EV will start at ~$53k. These are the current base MSRP + dest for Toyota's EV AWD SUV line-up: C-HR: $38,450 BZ: $41,350 BZ Woodland: $46,750 Maybe Toyota squeaks the FWD Highlander in under $50k, but I highly doubt the AWD version will stay...

Admittedly, the CHP - Truckee social media team is pretty awesome if you don't follow them already (they are equal-opportunity shade throwers, which isn't hard during the wintertime with all the idiotic things people do heading over the summit), but tonight they apparently encountered a Rivian...

Well, according to their service center map, it least it looks like they have one in the works in the Rohnert Park (apparently at 5000 Dowdell). That still took longer than I would think...Tesla opened their first service center in the North Bay at the end of 2012/early 2013, so basically right...

I think the R1S ground clearance in kneel mode is ~10", so the R2 being at 9.6" isn't that much different (but obviously, there's more to this than just ground clearance, there could also be differences in the floor pan stack height, the height of the seat assembly, etc.). A RAV4 has 8.4" and a...

About 6 months ago I did a 5-day roadtrip along the following route: SF Bay Area --> Tahoe --> Bend --> Seattle --> SF Bay Area (going Seattle back to the Bay Area all in one day). Definitely elected to rent an ICE vehicle for that trip (~2.5k miles). Could it have been done with an EV...

Yeah, the problem is the SC policy can change at any time (just look at what Rivian did re: tow policy). Again, if they were factory/"dealer" installed, then I'm better protected against the whims of SC/Rivian management.

Absolutely, but even then, for both more mature (80+ years old) and height-challenged (sub-5'3") passengers, it's not quite enough.

Yeah, my hesitation with the aftermarket ones is the lack of consistency of how the service centers handle them. It seems like it's a crapshoot regarding whether they'll require them to be removed, and also since most of my service visits are mobile, I want to keep things as standard as possible...

I'm curious what the difference in distance is between the street/pavement and top of the driver's seat for the R2. One of the biggest annoyances of the R1 is the lack of factory-available running boards to make entry/exit easier. I'm sure the R2 is lower, but it'd be good to know what it is in...

Definitely a bittersweet end. I put a reservation in for the Model S in September 2012 and took delivery at the factory in March 2013. Still have it nearly 13 years later (and with a whopping 70k miles). Only in the past year have I started to have to pay out of pocket for some issues (one door...

Maybe the OP is planning to post nine separate threads on the topic to try to make their point even more palpable

Yeah, the 2026 bZ (regular/non-Woodland) has a ~290mi range when equipped with AWD -- that's the one you could get for ~$35k now. They offer two FWD options: one with ~230mi of range; another with ~310mi. They also improved the motors so acceleration and efficiency is better, and DC charging...

You also have the Subaru Trailseeker and Toyota bZ Woodland coming out soon (on the lower-end). We'll also have to see what happens with the Jeep Recon... Honestly though, I've been somewhat surprised by the pricing of the (normal) Toyota bZ. Toyota is offering a $5k cash incentive, that...

Yes, and the absolutely fully-loaded version will top out at ~$49k with destination included. No doubt the R2 will be more capable, but that reinforces my thinking that the heart of the R2 pricing should be in the ~$53-55k range.
