After test drove the Performance trim for 30 minutes, I agree that the R2 seats are quite firm and not especially comfortable. I suspect Rivian designed them with both on-road and off-road driving in mind, where added support is beneficial. I'm hoping the upcoming Premium trim will offer a...

Thanks, Rick, for the impressive write-up. I really appreciate you taking the time to share your experience. I owned the first-generation Tesla Model S for 12 years. Even without today's advanced camera system, it was an incredibly enjoyable car to drive. I'm currently leasing an Acura ZDX EV...

Thanks Rick for the impressive write-up. Really appreciated. I owned the 1st Gen. Model S for twelve years and even without any camers, the driving is incredibly excellent. I'm currently leasing the ZDX EV. Other than the riding comfort, there are not too much to talk about.

I live in NC and owned the 2013 Tesla Model Y. Due to the bureaucratic policy by the dealers and state, I couldn't purchase the MY in NC at the time. I'm interested in R2 and see no reason I cannot have the same process to purchase or lease the R2. Your reasoning is completely consistent...

I live in the warmer state so Roof Sunshade is what I need along with all-weather mats.

So I priced the Performance launch edition with White exterior and interior of $59,990 along with the Premium trim with the same features (add autonomy+, tow package) of $59,440 since I don't need the R2 this year. The difference is $550. It really doesn't make sense.

I’m less concerned about having LiDAR; what matters more to me is achieving reliable point-to-point driving like Tesla’s FSD today, which relies only on cameras and performs very well (L2+ they call it). I hope Rivian can deliver comparable point-to-point capability by Q1 2027.

Nick, I agree with you on LiDAR. I’m skeptical that Rivian will be able to deliver true point-to-point autonomy by Q1 2027, which is when I’m planning to buy or lease. I’m a Tesla fan and recently test-drove the Model Y and Model 3 with point-to-point FSD and it was incredibly impressive, and I...

I’ve had my Model S for 12 years and have really enjoyed the driving experience. I’ve placed an order for the R2, though I don’t expect to purchase it until 2027. I’d like to test drive it especially to evaluate its LiDAR-based autonomy. I’m hoping Rivian can refine its software to be as good...

I have owned a Model S for 11 years and currently lease a ZDX, but I am now looking forward to my next vehicle. Several features are particularly important to me, specifically Full Self-Driving (FSD), V2H capabilities, and NACS charging. In my view. My next EV is Model Y however Tesla has fallen...
