  1. Cancelling my Pre-order, thoughts inside from test drive

    I'm not saying OP is a troll but they posted the exact same thing - word for word, bullet point for bullet point - in a Rivian group to which I belong on Facebook. Rather than trying to be informative, I think they're just trying to get a rise out of people. Wait... I guess I AM saying they're...
  2. Who HASN'T been invited to order with an early reservation?

    Day 1 reservation (within hour of announcement), R1S owner, live within 10 miles from service center. Still waiting.
  3. Battery maintenance when traveling for extended periods

    Just leave it plugged in the whole time you're gone -- don't overthink it.
  4. Incoming text messages not showing up

    When you say "everything turned on as shown" does it look like the photo below when you go into the bluetooth settings for your vehicle on your phone? I have a pixel 10 and am not having any trouble with this. Additionally, there are some settings in Rivian Assistant in the car itself to turn on...
  5. How Important is my Saved Configuration?

    I don't think it affects anything. I have multiple "saved" configurations.
  6. Tesla oil filters, lol

    I'm not sure what's so funny. The drive unit DOES have an oil filter.
  7. Android music apps that 'play nice' with Rivian infotainment

    It's probably the bluetooth AVRCP settings on the phone that isn't showing you the info you want. Enable developer options and change that setting to 1.6 and reboot your phone. Google instructions for the above. It's simple and that's probably the difference between your two phones.
  8. R2 Jack Point Design - Potential Issues / Challenges

    I just watched a bearded tesla guy video that posted this morning. He shows that it comes with a single jack adapter in the rear cargo area under the floor. I've linked to that part of the video:
  9. R2 Color Ranking

    To be fair, that's the way they look (to me at least) in all pictures. I get that it's a look -- it's just not one I'm fond of, especially on a vehicle with off road pretensions. I don't need my R2 to look like a "donk."
  10. R2 Charge port door

    You could look in the side mirror and see if it's open
  11. Got the R2 order invite, but still on lease with the R1

    I read a little further the "Adjusted lease balance" is the "Adjusted Capitalized Cost" minus the sum of all accrued monthly Depreciation" for each monthly period before termination. Now I just need to figure out what the "monthly depreciation" is. They don't make this easy. It seems there...
  12. Got the R2 order invite, but still on lease with the R1

    The lease agreement says: "if you or we end this lease before the beginning of the final monthly period... we will assess an early termination charge equal to the Adjusted Lease Balance minus the Vehicle's Fair Market Value. .... the Early Termination Charge will not exceed the sum of all...
  13. Would you go with 20" wheels or 21" wheels on Launch Edition R2?

    I think this is the wisest advice. The tires can, and will, be changed. It makes no sense to make the purchase based on the OEM tire fitted to the rim.
  14. Why You Should Get an R2 Over an R1S

    Another thing to consider -- since the R2 likely has a smaller battery than the R1, it might charge "faster" 10-80% just because there's less Kwh to put into it.
  15. R2 Color Ranking

    Here are my rankings: Catalina Cove Forest Green Glacier White Esker Silver Half Moon Grey Launch Green Borealis Midnight That said, if Rivian Blue was available -- that would be my #1 (it's what I have on my R1S). Red Canyon would be #2.
  16. Why You Should Get an R2 Over an R1S

    That's doesn't mean much. 215kw is the peak charging speed. How long does it hold that rate? I'm not saying the R2 charges faster -- I haven't read anything regarding its charging curve. That said, even if the R2 has the same peak charging rate, it could easily charge faster if it holds that...
  17. Finished R2 demo test drive? Share your review / impressions

    The problem is where to hide it. On R1 it's hidden under the ridge for the radiator opening. There's no similar opening on R1 as the opening is below the front bumper. I assume they figured this was the most elegant option.
  18. R2 Color Ranking

    All of you saying you like Borealis.... Have you actually seen one in person? One of my neighbors has a Borealis R1S and 90% of the time it just looks black. The light has to hit it the correct way for it to look purple. It's not quite the COLOR option I'd thought it was from photos.
  19. Got the R2 order invite, but still on lease with the R1

    Report back, if you don't mind. I haven't been invited to order yet and will be choosing the light interior, so I won't be calling just yet.
