It might be the new normal when you're looking for space and shortening cabling. I would have included the trunk, but then you start eating up cargo or subtrunk space. Location could help with longevity as it is weather protected and facing less weather extremes versus a frunk location.

I vaguely recall one interview with Jeff Hammoud saying that the horn speaker is the same one that does that pedestrian warning noise?

Same!

Rivian fast tracked a resolution. The benefits of having limited configurations at launch.

Usually lead acid batteries that are located in the interior have vent tubes that discharge in the event there's a rare issue. I would assume this one does too.

Too early to decide on doing something different from OEM. They redesigned low voltage system so it cycles a lot less. So it should be better on paper than R1. 12 volt system in R2 has reduced cycling and longer life, per Wassym

Wonder what it has to sell at to break even? $65k?

Is that for Pirelli or BF Goodrich? or are both expected to be same in terms of workmanship defects?

21" have pretty decent ride quality. It has high sidewalls due to the large diameter Rivian chose for the tires. They are sidewalls equivalent to 19" wheels on many other crossovers.

There was a promising post from another new R2 owner recently:

Is this what you're looking for? Someone posted this in their new owner review. Still may be a bug but maybe this is a workaround?

That charger had a NACS cable. Regular people would have just done that. No thinking involved as the rest of us won't run charging experiments with adapters like Tom.

There's plenty of logic and speculation saying otherwise in those many threads that you pointed out. It would take 2 seconds for Rivian to put this in their FAQ on the website. There's zero reason to even be ambiguous unless there's some chance of this happening. It's strange and causing...

He's already in one of those threads and there's no clear statements from Rivian executives about this. If there was, then this thread wouldn't have 5 pages of speculation about it.

Tom had followup comments in a podcast where he said he was using an old Tesla adapter. He thinks that if he had used a new UL2252 certified adapter, it would have been fine. So just get UL2252 certified adapters from a reputable vendor for maximum safety long term. Melted Pin and adapter...

Only the new autonomy compute module 3 and LiDAR are coming later. Everything else including the cameras, dual mode radar and new infotainment computer are available today at launch.

We don't know anything about ACM3/LiDAR availability beyond approximate time frame towards the end of 2026 or beginning of 2027. None of the execs have spilled any details like that.

I would expect growing pains and it being a little bumpy. We can obviously hope for the best that that they scale up service centers and mobile service smoothly, but it's probably unrealistic. I have the same concerns of not being a current Rivian owner and being over an hour away, but I think...

People also told us the R2 backlog was years out and new reservations wouldn't get their cars till 2028 or later. If the order backlog is thinner than they want, Rivian could conceivably keep launch edition going to get these higher dollar sales. Rivian is hungry for R2 sales. Just look at...

What's interesting is that Rivian hasn't outright said RAP1/LiDAR wouldn't overlap with Launch Edition sales. It would be super easy just to say that combo will never be available to keep customer decision making super simple. They're obviously getting flooded with this question directly and...
