What is up with the front marker lights? Or is that a digital camera issue?

On some of these validation build R2s, they are covering different parts with the wrap in different ways. This is one of them.

I noticed that too immediately. Maybe that's the R2 DRL signature to differentiate from R1

Yes and noticeably different from the chase vehicle.
I’m wondering if it’s just the wrap like someone else said.. but wouldn’t it be fun if it squinted its eyes when the throttle goes above a certain level to indicate it’s “serious face”?

That trailer probably weighs ~2000 lbs empty
Happy to see an R2 towing something, as that is my use case, but I doubt that trailer weighs 2000lbs empty. Seems like it would be much less.

it would be cool if you could choose DRL patterns but if you look closely, you can see the wrap going over the lenses.

Oh dear, it looks like it might be going into limp mode and pulling off the road. The trailer tires are on the shoulder, and the R2 is far from the center of the lane. On the other hand, they might be heading off-road for some testing, or they could be playing with the sound system as it cuts in and out, trying to listen to a continuous stream of music and praying for USB access, or even drifting around the road because this road is not on the Rivian maps system for self-driving. Does it look as if the trailer has a higher ground clearance, I wonder.

Who knows without being there? The good part is that they are testing and learning. Think positive if you are in the market for the new Baby Rivian (BR). It is kinda cute.
