  1. Do I Risk Damaging the Lift Gate Motor?

    It's definitely one of those things you don't think about until you have a situation like OP. Heck, my i4 hatch hit the top of the garage and got scratched.....but it has a height adjustment.
  2. First dealership reselling an R2 is listed

    Imagine being so impatient you pay a $20K premium for something that will already have 2 owners in its first 400 miles.
  3. Do I Risk Damaging the Lift Gate Motor?

    can you adjust the lift gate height instead? ie only open 3/4...
  4. R2 Orders / VIN / Deliveries List Tracker + Stats 📊

    No- no window was ever provided. That's why I'm curious. If others with ES orders have windows, I'd love to have some expectations.
  5. R2 Orders / VIN / Deliveries List Tracker + Stats 📊

    I skipped a few pages but I'm one of the ES on 20's that has yet to receive a VIN. I ordered 6/16. As an experiment, I reached out to express willingness to switch colors if that sped anything up but no response- I didn't expect them to agree to that but an acknowledgment would've been nice...
  6. Insurance Rates for R2

    Agreed but I do find value in the posts where people share what they are moving from and the difference in cost. That paints a clearer picture for me in terms of what to expect.
  7. Finished R2 demo test drive? Share your review / impressions

    I made the mistake of saying the same about the acceleration on Reddit (where common sense is not so common and groupthink prevails). I said I know it IS faster than my base i4 but felt slower and I was inundated with stats.... I'm guessing it's a combo of weight, throttle mapping, center of...
  8. Lease or buy?

    I'll be following as nothing sways my opinions more than a cabal of strangers on the internet- sad, but actually, true. To be clear, from a purely financial perspective, this lease makes almost zero sense unless the value of a used R2 drops like rocks. In my case, I'll still go with it as I...

    Two words- "Cyber Truck." I rest my case, your honor.
  10. Finished R2 demo test drive? Share your review / impressions

    BMW, among most mainstream auto brands, has been, arguably, the most successful in the EV space. The OG i3 well preceded Rivian and Tesla. I've had many BMWs and, putting my "fanboy-dom" aside, they drive fantastic, have decent software, and the NK ranges and charging speeds are pretty...
  11. New Tesla Model Y L launching this weekend [ADMIN WARNING: NO POLITICS, NO ELON TALK]

    I get viciously car sick in the 2nd row of every model Y Uber......the 3rd row might kill me.
  12. Finished R2 demo test drive? Share your review / impressions

    I'm just back from my second test drive. I still really like the R2. It's a great all-around vehicle and, if I truly needed a new car right now, I'd pull the trigger. I have zero complaints other than I really wanted to lease and I can't, no matter what kind of math and "logic" I apply make it...
  13. Cancelling my Pre-order, thoughts inside from test drive

    I have a Waymo app for when I don't want to drive. I've used in zero times. I like to drive.
  14. Cancelling my Pre-order, thoughts inside from test drive

    I think it's fairly normal but I grew up with brothers so I'm far from an expert. Too bad my R2 won't have CarPlay to escape and listen to an audiobook while it's happening :devil:
  15. Cancelling my Pre-order, thoughts inside from test drive

    As a husband and father of a teen girl, this thread is like watching them have a discussion that start with the "need" for more expensive athleisure wear, pivots to what's for dinner, then who last wore whose clothes- all involving a rapid oscillation between laughter, tears, and yelling. Doors...
  16. Cancelling my Pre-order, thoughts inside from test drive

    And not a very good one as that write-up probably took an hour....
  17. Cancelling my Pre-order, thoughts inside from test drive

    Thanks! Not your fault I'm neurotic. The i4 is fantastic in every way but my wants are the same as yours- how can I turn down an opportunity to be one of the first to own such a hot car as the R2 and I miss the ruggedness and camping with my old Wranglers and Bronco!
  18. Cancelling my Pre-order, thoughts inside from test drive

    You guys are killing me as I try to convince myself it makes sense to trade my perfect, trouble free i4 for the R2 I ordered.

    This is the biggest piece for me. I was a beta for the Wrangler 4Xe and that went about as expected- FML for that 2 years. My hope is that Rivian learned a ton from the early adopters of the R1 platform- appreciate your service toward the cause!
