My lease is with Chase and has the option to buyout. Tesla used to not allow a buyout (some bullshit about the robotaxi fleet), but they gave up as of 2024.

My current Model 3 lease doesn’t end until December of 2027. I’m probably going to lease or potentially finance a 2028 RWD Long-Range (345 miles) R2 Standard. That particular model doesn’t come out until Spring of 2027. For those of you that have experience with this, how far out will Rivian...

Scout is an interesting proposition. Not something I’m into, but I’m sure it will find its place if the tech can be worked out. Of course tech in general waits for no one and I think that battery tech will continue to accelerate. The Chinese are already producing 5-minute charge times...

If I win one of those EV raffles I’d be tempted to get that color. Either that or Launch Green. If I don’t win then I’m getting an R2 Standard Long-Range in Esker Silver.

What about applying what they learned from the R2 to the R1? They could have a Standard Model that has a more traditional suspension that’s more affordable and easier to repair, use a structural battery pack with 4695 cells, and offer a more affordable interior. Of course adding the rear drop...

So the Stealth PPF doesn’t darken the color so much as make it look matte or semi-gloss? Looks nice.

Exactly! The OP is complaining about other people complaining. Hypocrite much? If they don’t like a thread they shouldn’t click on it and start reading. Of course they have the right to complain or voice their opinion, just like everyone else.

I didn’t say I did, but demand paralysis is a real thing. There’s a reason Tesla has sold so many vehicles and that the Model Y is the most sold vehicle in the world, like it or not. I hope the R2 becomes equally successful, if not more so. I believe in strategic clarity. Unfortunately I think...

There are certainly pros and cons to each. Let us know what you think. Here’s an overview of the Trailseeker for those who are interested: https://www.off-road.com/blog/subaru-s-new-trailseeker-is-an-ev-with-real-off-road-hardware-375-hp-8-5-inch-clearance-and-dual-x-mode-from-39-995/

Yeah, I’m definitely concerned about that with the R2 and the 12V battery thing, which is related to the battery drain. Rivian isn’t the only one with this problem either. Some Kia/Hyundai EVs, like the Ioniq 5 have their 12V batteries die suddenly due to an issue with the ICCU.

I’m leasing a Model 3 and all of those things drive me crazy, too. We don’t have a garage, so I have a glass roof cover and a sunvisor, but the seats still get hot as hell. We also get sunblock on the interior even after waiting 15 minutes to get in the car. I’ve got a giant pack of alcohol...

Rivian should make a deal where you can order on Amazon and use their 5% cash back card. 🤪 Honey, why do we have 289,950 Amazon points in our account and why is there a Rivian R2 in our driveway?

Usually car dealers frown on this because they don’t want to pay the 4% transaction fee for someone using a credit card, especially for such a large purchase. Rivian is doing direct sales though, so I don’t know. This is a good question. Think of the cash back you could get if it was the right...

RJ spoke with Road & Track about Rivian, EVs in general, the R2, etc. The usual spiel, but he also brought up the R2/R3 variants again and R4/R5. See below. “In Georgia we have a few variants,” said Scaringe. “So there’s R2, there’s R3, there’s a number of variants we haven’t hinted at or...

I’m hopeful for Red Canyon, too. It’s a beautiful color. They need at least one warm color. Here’s a comparison of Launch Green vs. Rivian Green. You can see how Rivian Green looks paler in the sun, just like Launch Green. I was thinking that Pantone and Rivian worked together to develop it, so...

That’s not bad at all. Thanks for the info.

Someone told me that Rivian sold the R1 Launch Editions for over a year (10/21-?/2023) until they hit 25K sold. I think Rivian is probably shooting for the same thing with the R2 Launch Edition. In my opinion, I think the R2 Launch Edition will sell out faster than the R1 Launch Editions due to...

Works for me. Maybe it’s your internet? https://rivian.com/configurations/builder/r2?

Um… I use State Farm as well. How much was it per month?

These two get really silly inside of an R2 exploring all of its storage options. Who knew that you could use the rear cargo cover as a table for the frunk! Also if you’ve ever wondered how well someone fits in the R2 this is the video to watch. 🤣
