  1. The Hues of Adventure: The inspiration behind the R2 color palette

    I loved that Rivian put this out of its inspirations for the colors. Main thing being that of the Earth and Universe.
  2. Which R2 colors look best when dirty?

    I would first bet money on silver, and then half man grey? But I second guessed myself because it seems the half moon grey is maybe darker than the photos?
  3. R2's A/C performance in really hot weather?

    Related to the topic of this thread - how is the A/C performance when the car idling? Sorry, I’m new to EVs, and in ICE, air moving through the engine helps. I sit in carpool in NC heat (95 degrees) in the summer for an hour daily, so an EV would really help me in keeping the cabin comfortable...
  4. R2 - Once invited to place an order, how long do you have to place it?

    So I’m guessing that whenever the Launch edition “runs out” and you buy the “regular” Performance edition, it will cost more? It’s hard to tell from the current pricing, whether to take advantage of the current Performance trim.
  5. 120 miles/day - Rivian R2 vs BMW i3X

    Love the shape and look and brand of the Rivian R2, but BMW seems to have a good vehicle on their hands in the fall when the I3X comes out. It seems BMW has had good reliability with their current iX and almost seems like a sleeper EV maker. Which one would have the best build quality and...
  6. No real AM or FM radio in the R2

    I just learned many stations are on the TuneIn app, including many AM ones that ppl listen to - could be an option
  7. No real AM or FM radio in the R2

    This is the first time I'm learning about this - no FM radio receiver? What? But if you have connect+, you can get most AM/FM radio stations?
  8. Reservation online still being used? Need a new vehicle late 2026, early 2027

    Are people still using the $100 online Rivian reservation? I just found out I need a new vehicle sooner rather than later due to some other family things - probably late 2026 or early 2027. I’m considering several other vehicles, but the shape and features of the R2 have always look good to...
  9. US Government to Finalize Billions in Funding for Rivian Before Next Administration Takes Power - Financing expected as soon as Thursday

    I was just about to post this but you beat me to it! Thankful that this loan is going through. Rivian needs help for the R2 and its construction - the R2 is what will make Rivian long-term.
  10. R2 @ 2025 Detroit Auto Show

    Cute? Does it look that small in person? What would it compare to a current vehicle - a Rav4, Q5, etc?
  11. Will the R2 take advantage of the 2nd generation R1S?

    Yep - that’s why I was hoping that the engineering of the 2nd generation of the R1S can mostly help with the R2 reliability. We know that most new EV engineering takes a while to get higher reliability. That has to be combined with a better Service dealer network. Both of the above needs...
  12. Will the R2 take advantage of the 2nd generation R1S?

    I have an Audi SQ5 that I believe is a ticking time bomb about to turn on in 2026 or 2027 and looking at either a Rivian R2 or Model Y. Most of my neighbors have a R1S or R1T but can't really spend the money for those right now. Are we thinking that the R2 will take advantage of all of the...
  13. New Service Centers in the works for NC and SC…

    Any more information on the Raleigh, NC service center for Rivian progress and opening date?
  14. R2 Dimensions + More Information -- Motortrend: Learning All About the R3 and R3X With Rivian’s Design Chief

    Correct - I currently have an Audi Q5 and am looking at a R2. The R1S is too big for me. Was looking for similar dimensions as the Q5 (would be okay with being slightly better, but not smaller than the Q5). Model Y would fit for me, but I was hoping for more of a blocky, rugged shape than...
  15. Is there a future plan for vehicle servicing? Before the R2/R3/R3X models come out

    *UPDATE* My neighbor only had his R1T back for a week before the warning lights came on again - motor light, possible performance loss light and other random lights. He's driving a front-wheel vehicle again, rear motor is out. That means it wasn't an issue with the rear motor. Probably some...
  16. Is there a future plan for vehicle servicing? Before the R2/R3/R3X models come out

    This is exactly what I'm worried about. A huge influx of vehicles on the road for Rivian.
  17. Is there a future plan for vehicle servicing? Before the R2/R3/R3X models come out

    What's the state legislation in SC like and what's the way around it? NC has similar but Rivian looks like they are planning a service center near the Raleigh area for 2025. And Tesla figured out the service center thing earlier anyway.
  18. Is there a future plan for vehicle servicing? Before the R2/R3/R3X models come out

    Thanks for the map. You could have just posted that without the snark. They are behind in service centers already though, better be more than that
  19. Is there a future plan for vehicle servicing? Before the R2/R3/R3X models come out

    Correct - it was still under warranty so everything was covered, including the rental car. His invoice had some filler charge for the rear motor around $7k so who knows how accurate that is.
