Rivian engineers and designers say they took customer feedback seriously from the R1S and R1T to make the R2. Among them: two glove boxes.

It seems two glove boxes is a bit overcompensation for the lack of one in R1, but two of them made the cut, as they scrutinized EVERY part and detail.

"We have a very active Reddit community where we get a lot of feedback," he said. "We even joke, 'if you want to get a feature implemented, go complain about it on Reddit.'"

Made me chuckle

And they laugh about some of those complaints. And overwhelming majority of content in that sub are complaints. Most of it ridiculous.

All my fingers and toes crossed that most of the cool things about the R2 make it into the Gen3 R1.

I wonder if the new cells in the R2 will mean a bigger max pack in the Gen3 R1? I will pay for it, Rivian!

That's not super crazy given they are in different size classes.

By way of example, Toyota 4runner weighs about 1800lbs less than a Toyota sequoia
