I usually do not buy extended warranties because they are typically not a good value for consumers. However, I did buy the lifetime bumper-to-bumper extended warranty for my 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee. Note I have not had issues with Jeep reliability covering 30+ years of ownership. So that common...

Catalina Cove was listed on the site briefly, and has since been removed.

The STLA (Stellantis Large) platform supports both ICE and EVs. That means wasted space for transmission and transaxle assemblies in an EV platform! The R2 has higher default ground clearance, a lower roof, and more storage than my Jeep because the latter has a transmission tunnel and multiple...

I have been following the Jeep Wagoneer S and the Recon since they were announced quite a while ago. And saw the Overland trim of a Recon at an auto show in January 2026. But the vehicle still does not exist, and the dealerships are still clueless as to its existence and availability. The Recon...

I don't have an R1. The Thule roof box attachment has limitations and R1 is just over the width limit. I am hoping R2 comes in a little smaller and is within spec for this rooftop accessory. The static weights for R1 and R2 crossbars are comparable at 600 pounds. But the dynamic load for R1 is...

What is the width (front-back) of the R2 cargo crossbars? It should be ~3.5 inches, but I have yet to find the exact specification. What is the thickness (top-bottom) of the R2 cargo crossbars? It should be ~1.25 inches, but I have yet to find the exact specification. I have heard that these...

Saw a Launch Green a few days later! The herd is growing!!

I sent WeatherTech an email about a rear cargo area protection mat, like I have in my Jeep. They responding saying they don't have an R2 to measure yet. Since Rivian doesn't produce all-weather mats for this part of the vehicle, it seems they should be providing WeatherTech the dimensions...

I have always been able to purchase wheel locks from the vehicle manufacturer. But I don't see locks in the Gear Shop, not even for R1. Any recommendations for third-party wheel locks for the R2? Thanks in advance.

Thank you! Again, since I already knew this charger stuff I did not bother reading the details ... my bad.

Please provide that link! I haven't paid much attention to charging as I have been an EV owner for 9 years. But I am not finding it on the Rivian website.

Someone on this forum is saying the the charger is free for certain states, such as California!

I saw my first R2 in the wild this afternoon in Hayward! The color was probably Half Moon Grey as it seemed to dark to be Esker Silver. The glare from my windshield impacted the picture quality. It was being driven by an owner (we chatted during the red light).

Awesome, I can spent some of the $400 on Rivian swag!

How is the Rivian Mobile Charger FREE in California? Will Rivian see my delivery address is CA and zero out the purchase price?

The mobile charger for the 2019 Tesla Model 3 was included, with both 120 and 240 connectors. If I can sell my Tesla and keep my charger I may forego the Rivian mobile charger and save $400.

Yes, the Forest Green was striking 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee Overland: I still think the wood trim and wheel, the dark brown leather dash and uppers, and light brown leather seats and doors is still one of the best interiors! Obviously the electronics in my 2011 vehicle are not on par with...

I had to replace the 12-volt battery in my Tesla recently, after 7 years. This is a little longer than an ICE vehicle. I assume the cost to step down the voltage from the high-voltage battery to low-voltage (12 volts) is more than having a separate battery, which is why Tesla and Rivian are...

I like the Forest Green better than the Launch Green. The latter seems kind of drab, whereas the former has some energy. My tastes run different than today's "black out" design and choices. Note that the R2 white is the same as the new R1 white (Glacier White). R2 originally toured with Cloud...

The R2 Configurator went live on 5/15/2026! Next: Demo drive Place order Vehicle delivery R2 fun!!
