It seems to me that Rivian has cooked up some new colors not just for the R2, but for the R1 as well. Here’s what I THINK replaces what and what stays the same (for now). I also wonder what possible new colors they might come up with at the Georgia Plant Paint Shop (Coming in late 2028?) Please...

I was doing some personal research on how vehicles have become more grayscale over time by taking some pictures of a local mall‘s parking lot and comparing it to one from the 1980’s (Turns out the dominance of neutral colors started in that decade!) Anyway, as I was snapping away I noticed...

As we all know the EPA estimated ranges of EVs do not often translate into actual real world range. There are so many factors that can impact range including, but not limited to: driving over 70MPH, cold weather, using climate controls, wind, hilly terrain, towing, the air speed velocity of an...

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...

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...

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. 🤣

This is just my personal opinion, but I think getting an R2 over an R1S is definitely the way to go. I really appreciate Rivian trying to become a more affordable mainstream vehicle company. Fun fact, Rivian’s original name was Mainstream Motors. I’m all for it and I wish them the best of luck...

Good news for all of the people out there wanting the Borealis paint color and/or the Coastal Cloud Signature interior for their Launch Edition R2s. The Borealis paint color is coming in September The Coastal Cloud Signature interior is coming in August

It’s officially June 9th, at least in the Eastern Time Zone. I logged into my account at midnight and navigated to my nearest Rivian Space (Fishers, Indiana), but no R2 Demo Drive available. Maybe it’s 12 midnight Pacific Time, or tomorrow when they open? Oh well, I’ll test drive it eventually...

I think this YouTuber, Stephan Aldaco of In My Element (a Honda Element enthusiast channel), just spotted an Esker Silver R2. Looks legit to me. Tell me what you guys think.

Since Rivian just released the outer dimensions of the R2 today (6/2/26) I thought I’d ask about the inner dimensions, namely the frunk and sub-trunk. The R2 frunk looks especially shallow. Does anyone know if a cooler will fit in there? Here are some YETI cooler dimensions in honor of Gary the...

Here’s a new story about the cross-country travels that Rivian has been doing in the R2...

See official Rivian announcement: https://www.rivianforums.com/forum/threads/forest-edge-interior-package-announced-for-limited-run.59527/ I thought this was an interesting article for anyone wondering if their favorite discontinued color might ever reappear on a future Rivian product. IF...

Rivian emailed this to me almost an hour ago. We’re getting closer! I really want to plan a trip to Chicago this Summer and one of the highlights would be doing an R2 Demo Drive. Has anyone else heard anything?

Bearded Tesla Guy has confirmed that the R2 will indeed have manual releases on all interior doors (front and rear). He demonstrated how they work. All of the releases are tucked away and not in the most obvious spot (see pics) and unfortunately the rear door releases are a pull cord that...

What are your predictions about the Georgia Plant and Rivian’s production schedule? Will this impact your EV purchase(s) in the near future? When will Rivian start exporting overseas? I’ve watching a lot of UK-based EV enthusiasts and they’re pumped to get the R2. At one point the Rivian...

Ever wanted a Rivian t-shirt, pants, shorts, or a jacket? They’re on sale now! Scroll down to see the older collections where t-shirts are $25. Sale items are clearly marked. Most things are organic cotton or recycled fabrics and blends. Pretty cool. https://gearshop.rivian.com/collections/apparel

This was posted to X by Wassym of Rivian and reposted by RivianTrackr: Rivian employees getting R2’s in April. Customers more than likely getting them in June.

I added a brief description of the colors. They really have to be seen in person and under different lighting conditions. Enjoy! I’m torn between newcomer Catalina Cove and classic Forest Green.

Not sure if this means anything, or not, but the wording Starting at $45,000 was removed from the Rivian R2 website. I think they don’t want to confuse customers when the launch model debuts and it quite a bit higher than $45K. There are some other potential factors to consider as well, like: •...
