Invited to order August-September 2026. I placed a reservation the first day. They just opened a service center about ten miles away a couple of months ago. I took a demo drive on Father's Day.
Facts? More like the programmers hopes and dreams of what they will deliver. Tech writers are practically all writing the documentation before the software ships. At least that was my experience as a tech writer.
TLDR: I will be ordering one as soon as possible.
Had my R2 test demo test drive at noon from the Hudson, NH service center. Very helpful employee. Took a picture of my license. I signed a waiver and I was into the car. None of the interrogation you get at a typical car dealership.
Early build...
Yesterday, Friday, I checked for demo drive times and the website showed no openings available. I stopped at the Hudson, NH service center in hopes of at least looking at one. (I was grocery shopping just a couple of miles from there.)
There was one there, but someone else was getting the tour...
I haven’t bought my Rivian yet, but I talked to a guy who was charging his Ford Lightning at the Newport Irving. He said he got a couple hundred miles range while eating supper at the diner.
Just a hunch here. Mechanical brakes scrub off rust every time they’re used while moving (stationary holding removes no rust). If all of your braking has been covered by the regenerative braking, then the mechanical braking won’t be used enough to rub off rust.
On the other hand if only one...
Hello, I just joined the group. I’ve got a Ford Escape Hybrid right now and my wife has a Nissan Leaf. I’m considering a Rivian to replace the Escape. I had a demo drive in Chelsea and loved it. I would’ve preferred a less urban area, but you take what you can get.

Level 3 62kW
Just southeast of Manchester, close to the FE Everett Turnpike. We occasionally charge my wife’s leaf here and I’ve never seen both chargers occupied.
The Level 2 chargers at the New Hampshire mall have been full every time I’ve looked.
