  1. R2 Roof Sun Shade

    3M offers a 90, and Llumar offers a 90 and 80. Both 90s appear borderline-clear to a layman.
  2. R2 Roof Sun Shade

    Chatted w/ local Xpel guy about this - he said not to go darker than 50% on a panoramic sunroof. So my plan when the time comes is XR+ 55. There's all kind of discussion re: warranty implications. At the very least, I'd say if you do sunroof stick to an installer that's provided via the...
  3. Home Wall Charger

    Agreed - it wouldn't be a recurring thing - wife gets new car, houseguests, etc. and I swap spots. Or EVSE tech somehow advances so I want a new one, easy to rip & replace, etc. Also worth noting if you use a wall plug then limited to 50/40, whereas hardwired can provide more output & faster...
  4. Home Wall Charger

    I've started sifting through reviews of "best EVSE" to get sense of what to look for when the time comes. Since I have 2x NIMA 14-50 outlets in my garage, I'll want to use them and have the ability to move the EVSE around. One big instigator of debate is the orientation of the 14-50 wall...
  5. Will Gen3 hardware be included with R2 Launch Edition later?

    My guess is LE will softly transition to Gen3 in Dec-Jan as MY27.5 and both won't be in production simultaneously. Then flip to MY28 in usual summertime, perhaps to coincide w/ Standard launch. My alt-guess is flip to MY28 gets moved earlier to winter-spring for hard cutover from LE to Gen3...
  6. Some R2 Invite Dates Getting Bumped Up by Rivian

    I read about it on the internet.
  7. Update on R2 order invitation timing now in account

    My guess is LE will softly transition to Gen3 in Dec-Jan as MY27.5 and won't be in production simultaneously. Then flip to MY28 in usual summertime, perhaps to coincide w/ Standard launch. My alt-guess is flip to MY28 gets moved earlier to winter-spring for hard cutover from LE to Gen3...
  8. Some R2 Invite Dates Getting Bumped Up by Rivian

    If I understand the factory paint shop correctly - max 10 colors in production at a given time - what gets killed off to make room for Borealis? Probably not black, white, silver, HMG, Cove, Lgreen, Fgreen (coming to R2). That leaves R1 colors Rblue, Sblue, and Canyon Red. My bet is CR goes...
  9. Some R2 Invite Dates Getting Bumped Up by Rivian

    Reservation in March 2026 and also Dec-Feb. Planning to wait until ~summer 2027 for MY28 (twins get licences - and dad's old Volvo).
  10. Interior roof cover for R2?

    Or perhaps cheaper overall to produce only one roof vs. offer two, even w/ one as extra-cost option, and glass-only won vs. metal-only.
  11. Aftermarket R2 Floor Mats

    Can you explain the product mix? Perhaps Back Covers + Front Cargo = (full) Cargo coverage? Figure more photos will easily explain it once posted.
  12. Will Gen3 hardware be included with R2 Launch Edition later?

    My guess is the announced pricing will hold for MY27.5 and Performance will transition from free stuff to Gen3 at same cost - That said, I think Standard AWD is due to launch around summer 2027, so flip to MY28 could coincide with that? Maybe price hikes for Premium & Performance at that...
  13. 20in wheel worse range even with all season tires?

    Maybe not. I'd bet tire companies get all kinds of comms from automotive yahoos. Besides, I'm sure these firms are well aware of R2 and already know what lineups will get 255/60/20 size. And don't want to disclose until launched.
  14. Will Gen3 hardware be included with R2 Launch Edition later?

    I’ll be curious to see if Gen3 arrives as MY27.5 with flip to MY28 in summer as usual, or early flip to MY28 in winter-spring 2026-27?
  15. 20in wheel worse range even with all season tires?

    I did that recently for Pirelli re: WeatherActive 3PMSF. What happened: Nothing.
  16. R2 w/ LiDAR, 19-inch wheels spied

    Because we're still in the press release-review stage of media coverage. These people get invited to launch events w/ free travel, lodging, meals, punch and pie. Expectation is high praise or else they don't get invited next time. Competitive reviews to follow will be more grounded and candid.
  17. R2 compact spare tire purchase

    Yep, charging via NIMA 14-50 will max out slower than hardwired connection. I've already got two outlets in my garage, so will want to take advantage of that flexibility. Will typically charge overnight. YMMV.
  18. R2 compact spare tire purchase

    If there's any chance you would move parking spot w/in a garage (with an additional outlet), a plug-in charger (NIMA 14-50) could be moved more easiliy vs. hardwired.
  19. R2 compact spare tire purchase

    I'm aiming for summer 2027 for MY28, figure others will post their impressions long before then. Yeah sometimes its worth it to just pay the sucker premium for just a bit of convenience and time savings vs. searching for/dealing with alternatives. Family friend was housesitting for us last...
  20. The Hues of Adventure: The inspiration behind the R2 color palette

    I'd like to see it make a comeback for R2 but perhaps with a bit more pop via scientifically-authentic "shiny bits" - per AI - "When you see "shiny bits" in limestone, you are likely looking at calcite crystals, fossilized shells, or flecks of pyrite (fool's gold). These form either when...
