my pictures and takes from the palo alto block party: catalina cove r2 had no x in vin, assuming it is production model. front windows have laminated/acoustic glass. rear windows and rear windshield/drop glass are single layer/regular non acoustic glass. some interior materials/touch points...

i agree a used model 3 or model y is an amazing value and is very reliable. i have an extremely early 2018 build model 3 with 113k miles and early 2023 model y with 50k miles and both have been super reliable. excluding the tires, i have spent less than 1k on both cars total in maintenance...

from the rivian website and other videos, 1 is standard wheel on standard, 2 is optional. on premium, 2 is standard wheel and 4 is optional. on performance, 4 is standard wheel and 3 is optional (only one with all terrain). therefore wheel 3 is only on performance at least from currently...

also has the r1 headlights. definitely an r1s not r2

that was the prototype. from the website and other youtube reviews, there are indeed no grab handles on the roof of the production model. from rivian website from car and driver/rivian

on a side note, honestly i always thought rivian's paint selection options made absolutely no sense, where you pay more for a solid color and a metallic one is free, and different metallic colors have different pricing. same issue with tesla paints, although solid black is now gone. up until i...

i was playing around with the "configurator" and noticed the first color is now the glacier white instead of esker silver.

technically we do have cheaper and better evs. i have a very early model 3 from early 2018, long range rwd. the car had an epa range of 310 miles and an msrp of 51k, equal to almost 67k in 2026. a new tesla model 3 premium long range rwd has an epa range of 363 miles at an msrp of 42.5k with a...

has there been any information if the premium has frequency selective dampers?

id say the majority of r2 customers will be cross shopping against the model y. most would want similar range at a similar price. model y alone still has around one third of the entire us ev market. therefore rivian should price r2 very similarly to model y, within a couple of thousand bucks...

not only that, but the non standard models also have improved interior materials, with soft touch surfaces everywhere, higher quality metals and textiles, etc.

oops i meant the tesla premium interior with vent seats, acoustic glass, more speakers, etc rather than the new stripped down version coming tomorrow. probably should have been more clear

they are only manufacturing the xdrive50 trim first, which is the large pack dual motor version with 400 miles of range, which is the trim specified starting at a little less than 60k. future standard range trim will be even less, around 55k

i feel r2 should be priced lower than 45k for the base model if it will have a smaller battery giving less than 300 miles of range. i can order a model y long range with their more premium interior for 45k, and 49k for dual motor awd. lower cost model y coming out tomorrow which i assume will...

https://electrek.co/2025/09/05/bmw-ix3-debuts-with-500-miles-range-ultra-fast-charging/ ix3 will start at less than $55k for standard model with 300 mile range and around $60k for the long range with 400 miles. honestly pretty good value and definitely a decent overlap with the rivian r2...

went away for one of the validation builds
