    R2 Price, Specs, Dimensions leaked!! $47500, 0-60 3 sec, 330 miles range

    This is pretty much exactly what I was hoping the R2 would be. I've been trying to get my wife to trade up to an R1S from her Corsair PHEV, but it's too big for her. These specs look just about right! Even if there is an upcharge of $6-10K for the 330-mile range I think that it is still...

    ⚡️ Rivian announces: March Tesla Supercharger access & free NACS adapters!

    With a large percentage of EV owners having an L2 charger at their home, and the inevitable increase in EV range/decrease in charging time due to coming battery upgrades, I don't think we will ever need as many DCFC stations as we currently have gas stations.

    Poll - Do you plan to place R2 Reservation for $100?

    For my needs it is probably at least foot shorter than I would like. I came from a GMC Canyon with a 6' bed so the 54" bed on the R1T just comes up short for many things I find myself hauling. I've resorted to renting a U-Haul a few times for bigger loads. It's cheap and easy and the local...

    Poll - Do you plan to place R2 Reservation for $100?

    Yes. I have an early production R1T that has been fantastic. However, I'm finding I have less and less need for a truck - especially considering how short the bed is. I'll consider the R2S if it has at least 6000 lb towing capacity, otherwise I will trade in the truck for an R1S.

    BMW: EV’s are Dead, buy Hydrogen Fuel Cells Vehicles

    Perhaps BMW made that decision a bit too soon... Shell Is Immediately Closing All Of Its California Hydrogen Stations (insideevs.com)

    Massive decline in mileage

    Even with all that the R1T still get vastly better mileage than my Honda track snowblower has been getting the past couple of days! :)

    Preconditioning confusion

    This is basically how I did it last winter and it worked out quite well.

    Chicago to Florida Roundtrip Complete!

    Now that I have been making charging stops for almost 2 years, I can say I much prefer them over gas stops in my ICE vehicles. Especially since most of my charging is done in my garage while I sleep. Plus, over the span of my R1 ownership the public charging infrastructure has been getting...

    State EV Fees -

    I got hit with a significant EV surcharge when I renewed last May, smaller one on my wife's PHEV. You might be in for a surprise this year when you renew...

    Rivian Subscription Services - A Look At What's Coming?

    I've had this functionality on all my cars/trucks/motorcycles for over 10 years - except for the R1T. So, sorry, but I just do not want to accept 'that's how it is now'.

    Charging curve summary over 48 recent DC Fast Charging (L3) sessions

    Very interesting - good analysis! Without any detailed data to support it, I've been thinking that my most efficient charging at DCFC stops have been with starting SOC at roughly 20-25%, which also affords me a decent range buffer in the event that the target charging station is not working...

    What do you want addressed in the next OTA update?

    Built in media player so I can play FLAC music files from a USB drive. I think this was promised quite a while ago.

    Winter Tires: Nokian Hakkapeliitta LT 275/65 R 20 126/123Q ordered. Experience / reviews?

    I too got the Hakka R5 for my OEM 22" wheels. Very little wear over the 4000+ miles in Northern Michigan last winter. Very good grip in ice and snow - certainly comparable to previous vehicles that I've run with Blizzaks, X-Ice, etc. My local tire shop charges me $60 to swap off the set so...

    Running Boards

    Like shap said, the EV Sportline boards are not difficult to install - it just takes a bit of time. Total time for my install including prep and clean up (lots of plastic shavings from cutting the holes) was about 3 hours. Well worth the cost of the RBs and installation effort. Hardest part...

    JFF: If you see a Rivian, you park next to the Rivian

    Followed another R1T into an EA in Indianapolis in June 2022. Another pulled up a few minutes later - both Rivian employees. A few minutes after this photo was taken another one pulled to charge. Have not parked next to another one since...

    Towing + Efficiency: Please post your experience!

    Just towed a car trailer (total of approx 4800 lbs) 250 miles, mostly flat, low 70 degree day, minimal wind. At 50 mph efficiency was 2.0, 65 mph it dropped to 1.62, 70 mph dropped to 1.24. Was able to use RAN on the way. Tows beautifully!

    Likely site of RAN charging station in Traverse City, MI

    I charged there yesterday. The pull-through charger, 1A immediately changed status to UNAVAILABLE, but 1C worked great - 218 kw max.
