Lots of cool stuff in that video!

Such a cool video. It gets me excited to see the progress of the R2. Hope we'll start to see them in the real world, as well as independent party reviews and test drives!

Lots of the other shots have a cover over the charge port, they forgot one.

Love these! I was just down there and drove by the HQ. No R2’s out in the wild yet.

Rivian makes you want to cheer for them.

Same here. Really wondering what’s going on in that last photo. Is that an r1T cab on a R2 chassis?

Looks to be shorter wheelbase than a R1T. So I would guess it's a R2 development mule, shortened R1T with brains and guts of an R2. Or, an even more extreme off-road oriented R1T variant. Probably R2 mule.

As a tall guy, the few times I’ve seen the new charge port location, my back starts hurting.
On one hand it seems pretty low with respect to standing next to a charger. On the other hand I like that it would make accessibility more equitable. 🦾

You and me both, brother. I'm going to need to keep one of those grabber tools in the door pocket for pugging this thing in.

This thing right here. Slap a 6'+ bed on it. Sold.

Wait what, you can get paid to drive on dirt roads and such, pushing an off road machine to its limits? Where do I apply?
This is super cool! I hope the R2 is somewhat similarly capable.

Bring it Rivian, the masses love media snippets like this. There's going to be so many new customers to the brand...don't screw it up
