It's not really a "Launch Edition" if there is a second, revised version of it with a different set of capabilities versus let's say making an under-the-hood technical fix if they identify a fault with some component. I therefore agree with others that it is unlikely.

I really like Forest Green, it’s a true green and you don’t see that often as a choice. Launch Green looks great too, not sure which I’d prefer on an R2.

Yes I think Borealis is beautiful, I’d just be worried I get it and then change my mind after some time, but I get stuck since cars can’t be changed so easily. Happened with my iPhone choice last year, you can guess which color I had bought 😅

I do have one of those unlimited car wash subscriptions. My current car is a red Mach-E, it gets this layer of yellow pollen after a couple of days outside. Particularly in the Spring with the overnight dew, it looks very messy very quickly. I was thinking of Borealis for the R2, I’ve never had...

I have the same issue parking outside in Southern California. The white looks particularly good on the R2, I’ve been looking at it closely.

It’s definitely harder to be smooth at one pedal driving. I even once met a Tesla owner who had had his car for over a year and had no idea that depressing his accelerator like 15% would result in coasting and he should do that instead of fully lifting off. I told him to try it, I’m not sure he...

Maybe this is a little bit of an odd question, but which R2 colors do people think look best when the vehicle is a little bit dirty? While I plan to be good about washing the R2 if I buy, it will likely be parked outdoors for most of its life, so it will often look less than pristine. Which...

Really? Hmm then I am at a loss why they wouldn’t enable the option. Like locking an adaptive suspension to a firm or soft setting instead of giving drivers a choice.

This is only true if the vehicle doesn’t have blended braking. On vehicles like the Mach-E, hitting the brake pedal first (assuming you have OPD off) triggers motor regen it doesn’t activate the physical brakes at all. As a result, you can use motor regen for slowing down just as well as when...

It comes down to wanting to maximize the EPA range. If there was a way to disable, the EPA could/would factor it in their range tests and since Rivian did not create a brake system that is capable of blended braking, using the brake pedal means regen would not be happening resulting is more...

I own a 2021 Mustang Mach-E and was able to test drive an R2 yesterday. Here are some thoughts. -The R2 was much faster, but I only own a standard range AWD Mach-E which for 2021 has 266 horsepower so huge jump in power and was really enjoyable for that reason alone. -Really loved the way the...

Would love to see some R2 color threads please.

Can people who have driven the R2 talk a bit about its driving dynamics? A lot of the reviews I am seeing posted focus a lot on the non-driving aspects of the R2 like the infotainment, charging, etc. What vehicle would you compare the R2 too in terms of how it drives? How sporty (or not) would...
