A new Rivian Stories video just went up on YouTube and the cutout for some sensor above the windshield is quite prominent in the screen grabs Below.

Great video, R2 can't come soon enough!

Always cool to get a behind the scenes look.

During the powertrain showcase, that's the first time I've heard all the motor names all in one sentence:
- Origin (probably the Bosch)
- Enduro
- Ascend
- Maximus

Also interesting that Maximus will "primarily" be for R2 and R3. I wonder what the other applications will be.

I'm surprised they didn't say Maximus would be used for the Gen3 R1...

I saw this on YouTube today. Very cool. As an art teacher I love that they still sculpt vehicles out of clay.

Do you think the cutout will contain lidar or just cameras, sensors, etc?

Not sure. It definitely is in the same spot as many other auto manufacturers put their LiDAR sensors. Who knows though could be another sensor.

Whatever the share price or sentiment about EVs, this company is bang on the right track. Love what they are about and can't wait for the R2 and R3.

Is the R2 infotainment screen same size as R1 or will it be same size as the Scout screen which definitely looks smaller?

Clearly a ram air intake for the mid-engine 6L V8

Seems roughly the same size as R1
