  1. June 9 - R2 order invites, first customer deliveries and demo drives begin!

    As popular as Rivian is in WA, I don't think they will prioritize this market. Its likely going to be CA, IL, TX, NY and possibly FL or CO.
  2. June 9 - R2 order invites, first customer deliveries and demo drives begin!

    Hate to break it to current R1 owners who reserved day one but you're going to get passed up by non-owners. Looks like no one else here noticed the statement: "Current Rivian owners will receive accelerated delivery timing, balanced alongside deliveries to non-owners to keep the line moving for...
  3. June 9 - R2 order invites, first customer deliveries and demo drives begin!

    Good content but that dude needs to learn how to edit videos. There's no need for any of them to be 1-2 hours long.
  4. Frozen R2 shows rear wiper in "Up" position for ice / snow conditions (built-in heater at work)

    Ice/Snow is one thing but that eventually melts. I think the bigger issue are leaves, dirt, debris, etc getting in there and either blocking drainage or blocking the wiper itself. In the PNW, with all the growth, moss and moisture, there's definitely going to be stuff that gets in there and/or...
  5. R2 audio system is being tuned with "amazing results" per Wassym

    Unfortunately Rivian does not get the benefit of the doubt when it comes to audio because they have tweaked and fiddled with R1 audio via OTA for 3 years with mixed/mediocre results. Meridian was amazing out of the gate because Meridian knows whats it’s doing. Rivian might be learning but...
  6. R2 Jack Point Design - Potential Issues / Challenges

    Guess the crossbars aren't the only thing not compatible between the R1 and R2. Looks like were going to need jack pucks unique to this design. Strange choice.
  7. "Design Yours" link on R2 website

    Its a little more than just adding the Lidar. Rivian also has to install the Rivian Autonomy Platform (RAP). If its as easy as plug and play then manufacturing will be straight forward, but I suspect it might be more complicated. And between when customer deliveries start and they are ready to...
  8. "Design Yours" link on R2 website

    Hmm, mine still says "Reserve" or it got changed back after being mistakenly released.
  9. BestEvMod’s Monthly Giveaway for Rivian Owners!

    Tie between the R1T roof sunshade and bed mat
  10. Are There Alternatives to Rivian Level2 Charger?

    I highly recommend The Emporia Level 2 charger. Its rock solid. It hasn't failed even once to charge my R1T Quad. When I bought it in 2023 it was the least expensive UL-certified charger out there. I would not get a non-UL certified product. The mobile app has tons of details and features as...
  11. R2 Performance Launch Package Gets Costal Cloud Interior - Rivian Stories

    Look at the pricing for colors on the R1S/R1T, only LA Silver is free. Highly doubt colors other than Esker Silver will be free on the R2.
  12. Symphonic Carbon Fiber Roof for Rivian R1T -- by EV Smart Truck

    Might be great for hot climates like Arizona/Nevada if it blocks visible light but any data on how much heat it blocks? Also interested in the difference it makes in audio. We all know the sound system in the R1 (non-Meridian) is mediocre at best.
  13. R2 is coming not a good time to buy a Rivian.

    While your post could use some editing to fix the grammar I understand your sentiment. I too am concerned about Rivian service once the R2 starts hitting large production numbers. A lot of service centers are already backed up, it’ll only get worse with the R2. You’re kidding yourself if you...
  14. R1 and R2 crossbars not compatible (don't fit) - now officially confirmed by Rivian

    From what I’ve heard it’s not the mounting points that don’t make it compatible, it’s the width of the vehicles. Even when you contract the R1 crossbars to its min, it’s still too wide to fit on the R2. And yes previously they were saying it would be compatible. Which is odd, either nobody...
  15. Why I won't be waiting for Gen3 Autonomy+ hardware on R2

    Good to know. I hadn't heard that before. Maybe I was thinking of Gen1 R1
  16. Chicago Block Party Photos - Half Moon Grey R2

    Did they black out the 20" AT wheels? Thought they were gunmetal grey in previous photos I've seen but looks a lot darker in your photos.
  17. Tesla to upgrade all HW3 cameras and computers to HW4 - RJ, your move.

    You really think Elmo is going to do that? I doubt it. He misleads, deceives and outright lies about a lot of things to inflate stock prices and sales. Over 18% of CT sales in Q4 2025 were to Spacex. There is no way Tesla is going to spend all that money to build microfactories, pay for all the...
  18. Why I won't be waiting for Gen3 Autonomy+ hardware on R2

    I can see that logic but once you've experienced eyes off, its pretty compelling and hard to go back to hands off, eyes on. Basically like riding in a Waymo but having to be in the drivers seat in case the vehicle needs you to take control. R2 without LiDAR will not support eyes off.
  19. R2 customer production started today! R2 configurator / ordering starts June

    These are absolutely employee vehicles. We have yet to see any R2 vehicles on the road that do not have manufacturer plates. Looks like we finally will now. Although May the 4th would be a cool date to announce deliveries for real customer based on the Star Wars wraps we saw, I doubt that will...
