Did you factor in the configuration? The color, interior and wheels may impact availability. If there were a "don't care" to get the car sooner, I would pick that. :) I'm fine with all color except green, green is my least favorite color. :(
I agree, Tesla had first mover advantage to be successful, but I was referring from an investment point of view. There were a lot of investment naysays and one of the most heavily shorted stock. I started investing in tesla in 2016 and I remember the FUD around Testa for every car they...
Is anyone else looking forward to a Munro Live teardown of the R2? I don't think it would influence my purchase but I would be nice to hear some build analysis.
If the R2 was really available for sale, why can't I order one now? (rhetorical question) This is the weirdest soft release I've ever encountered. It will be 3 weeks next Tuesday since R2 "available for sale" and I still can't order because you have to be invited to order. Make it make...
Is the paint protection film worth getting? How long does it last? I was think of getting just the front done.
I had a 95 Isuzu Rodeo for 15 years and the front had a lot of wear, but that was after 15 years and 170K.
My reservation was within minutes of unveiling and live close to factory and mile from service center. I guess order in line means nothing R1 owner or not. I was really hoping to have R2 before Summer, I guess Fall may be likely. :(
On a serious note, I expect a subcompact and a roadster in one of the Rs. Maybe a pure practical and functional car for people just need to get to work or school everyday and can't afford a $30K+ car.
About a 30% of Americans make less than $30K. The choice is to buy used or let the Chinese...
After reading most of this thread, there are at least 3 types of people critiquing the R2.
1) Rivian zealot
2) Tesla refencers
3) New to EV buyers
First of all, there is no such thing as the perfect car. After owning 7 cars in my lifetime that I've kept for at least 5 years, every single one...
I had my test drive today in Buffalo Grove, IL. I have never driven an EV until today. Most of the time was going over the instrument panel and 1 pedal driving. Driving, I found myself focus on how to drive.
As for audio system, it was good to me. Not sure what all the hoopla about the...
